My dear Good Lady finds herself in residence of the local general hospital after having some chest pains she breathlessness after a walk on Sunday. I am still unsure if it is just an attempt to escape my rather dull company for a time! No one would blame her. I've visited her twice which took some great strength and I rather dislike hospitals as I find them too bright and noisy to be in. This week I have been busy at home getting the place in good standing for when my Good Lady is well and returns. I have cleaned the bathrooms, the bedrooms and the garden shed; though admittedly that last one is more for myself than my other half. Upstairs is especially clean and ship shape.
This morning I had intended to clean the downstairs rooms as well as my study but then I had a call about taking my great grandchildren, Ben and Raine to school as their mother had an appointment she could could not miss. I only found out I was autistic last year and I like to plan my days well in advance whenever possible and sudden changes can be challenging to deal with. But I pushed those anxieties away and got the Roller and went to pick them up for school. I got them there by eight thirty and was back home by a quarter to ten. Not bad that!
So now I have just finished cleaning the study. Everything is polished, the books are dusted and the wooden floor mopped.
I will have a whiskey this evening and for now I have more chores to do. I may go for a wee walk this afternoon, if I have finished everything else on my list of to dos for the day. All in a days work. Forget being retired. One may become a handyman and cleaner if I keep up this good work!
My mother used to say there's always plenty to do to keep you occupied and she was quite right. This week so far I have managed to keep myself well distracted.
Good job on all your hard work I'm sure your wife will really appreciate it when she's back home. Look after yourself too, don't do too much and wear yourself out x
Well done for all you have achieved. It is hard when our plans get changed. I hope your good lady is able to benefit from your chores soon.
