When I Do Chill Out

Tweet

I have managed to do it again, hour by hour till I am there. I have my nights and days mixed up. I went to bed this morning at 5 am and was awaken but extremely loud thunder and then hard pouring rain. But that is okay, I need the rest from outside work and the vegetable garden needs the rain. I am sure people think I work every second of the day because I talk about things around the homestead, taking care of Tony or being a landlady but I do just sit and chill. At night I use the laptop and its at the dining room table, my house is one with the open layout so I see the living room and the t.v. I also have my feet up in the next chair. This way I can keep Tony company and be on the computer, and that is why I can`t listen to suggested music or videos. If a good movie or show I watch comes on I shut the computer down and watch. After mowing the grass or working outside doing whatever, I often make myself a coffee and sit on the deck where I can see all the way back to the edge of the first cleared 2 acres, I listen to the birds, frogs and all the summer noises, its very calming. I take an hour here and there and I read, books, reall paper books. Mystery or suspense are my favorite, but I will read a comedy by Evanovich. And when I am working as the caregiver and on the move, aka doctor office, I read the whole time, its like a super rest time. His chemo used to take 3 to 6 hours, that is over and now he is on immune therapy its around an hour wait for me that that is still a nice me and a book time. Regardless of being in motion, I like the peacefulness of walking the dogs, picking berries or planting or re-potting plants. Now I will add making homemade things. Back when I was younger I used to hand sew quilt top and I will be doing more of that soon, however , I have been looking at small sewing machines. So, I am not always push mowing or painting walls or just plain hard labor. How do you relax?
