Today I am thankful for: Today! And Im a little embarrassed that I didnt spend my free time today in a fruitful way. Making progress in some progressive way. It was one of those drag myself by my collar through out the day. A melancholy day of tired to the bone and yet thoughtful day. The brain didnt want to kick into business mode. And the body didnt want to kick into; get some routine house type stuff done type of day. So I piddle at a little of this and that through out the morning. Breakfast was two cups of coffee instead of one. By noon I almost agreed that I was a little depressed or just overwhelmed. Thought better of it and laid atop the bed to rest my weary eyes for a few minutes before I started a new adjusted game plan of work for the weekend. Three hours later. I awoke a little surprised that I had slept that long and sleep solid like a rock. By now I was hungry and made myself a big country breakfast and ate alone again, took my am pills, and a dose of Tylenol for the body. Working tonight the 5 to 10pm shift. Made my sandwich dinner and packed my soft sided lunch box with drink and snack. Hand washed the single cup, dish and knife/fork, etc. Freshened up and changed into my work uniform. Feed the dog and cat, etc. then went to work to clock in. Put in my 5 hours in a productive way. Chatted a little with my customers, closed up and came home to an empty house. Petted the cat, walked the dog. And talked to myself. Then made a snack of feta cheese and crackers. Changed out of work cloths into sailing nylon shorts, tee shirt, and moccasins. Turned on the computer and signed into Facebook. Watched the midnight hour slid past and wrote a weird post to my timeline (this one). Then I thought, It might not have been a great day by any measure, but at least I had this day to live. And maybe this was the type of day I needed-Today. Yes I am thankful, not bitter, that I had this boring non-productive day. I just pray this does not become routine and I end up stuck in a rut. Come on Ron, It is time , I hope, to get my groove back on. Today was, will, is another day that has passed and is now history. Tomorrow, with a little luck, another day will start. Tomorrow has promise. I will see how Saturday starts off. I just might declare tomorrow a Nothing Day. What does one do on a nothing day-single and alone?
