Tomorrow (or later today, actually) I will kick back and knit most of the day. Yes, I will take care of nominal household responsibility, but the major portion of my day is going to be spent in my chair with my knitting in one hand and a Coke in the other.
Getting up early is not my favorite thing to do. Ok, that is the understatement of the year. I hate getting up early and I always have. My brother bounds out of bed, out of the shower and actually whistles in the morning, just like my Dad used to. As my Mom used to say, "When Dave gets up, the world gets up." I didn't get that gene.
I had to be at the Dr's office in Lansing by 9am today and since I move very slowly in the morning, that means I have to get up by about 7. You can be sure that I would never have taken that appointment, if it were not the ONLY one left in the month of October.
Joe took perverse delight in helping me to be up on time. I know he did. Then he left for work and actually called me to try to converse on his way to work. Please! Until I have had at least 2 cups of coffee, I don't want to talk to God.
Unfortunately, I am not smart enough to come home and take a nap. I have this guilt thing that only lazy people sleep during the day (mornings don't count). So instead I went on an all day hunt for a special yarn for a surprise gift. I had to find a brand that had a number of colors that all went together. That was good for 3 yarn stores. By the time Joe suggested dinner together, I was ready for my couch.
Once I got in my special little spot which is MY corner of the couch (or as I like to think of it, Mona's Command Center) I was in heaven. I feel like I can run my world from that spot. I have my knitting, my computer, my TV and my phone. Food and coffee are only steps away. Why would I want to leave?
So yes, it is 3:34 am and once again, I am still up. I will retire soon, turn off the phone and sleep until I want to get up tomorrow. Life is good.
The only thing that could wreck my day, are dogs. The puppies have a passion for chewing kntiting needles and Josie and Rocky are holding lessons in how to tear up a ball of yarn. Tonight I found one of the new balls I bought, absolutely destroyed and in THIER blanket!
