With the children leaving this morning for their weekend with mom, the house is eerily quiet. The shared custody schedule means Charlotte and Caleb are here Wednesday through Sunday morning at 9:00 am one week and the following week Wednesday through Saturday morning at 9:00 am.
Joe and I drove over to St. Michaels this morning to check
the town out. It is about ten miles from here and has a population of around
18,500 people. Joe’s reading glasses broke last night, and we were hoping to
have the glasses repaired at a shop in St. Michaels. Unfortunately, the hours
posted on the internet and their actual hours are not the same. They are only
open on the second and fourth Saturday of each month. We could go to another
town about 30 minutes away; however, Joe says he will be fine until Monday when
there is a place in Delano.
The air quality is unhealthy today from the smoke from the Canadian
fires. I feel for the people who have come to re-pave the driveway today.
Other than doing the laundry and watching cooking shows on
Netflix, I have felt very unmotivated to day to do anything else. I still
struggle with allowing myself to rest or to read or watch a show. When we were
travelling at least we were “doing something.” Intellectually I know it is okay
to rest. Getting my brain rewired to accept rest as okay will take time.
We leave next Friday to go to Ohio for the Hudkins family
reunion. We are picking up one of my cousins on the way so he can go to the
reunion as well.
Now I am going back to my non-productive state of being.
