OK. I have been off work for two weeks. We took a weeks vacation to Myrtle Beach. I've changed sheets, mopped floors, dusted the furniture, planted some stuff in the yard, mowed the yard and the list goes on and on, but my question is what do I do now.
John seems never to run out of things that can keep him entertained. He always has a to do list and the list never gets any shorter. At any given time he will be piddling around with a box of junk or tinkering on the car or lawn mower, cataloging his trinkets or reading. I on the other hand have to have an agenda. When I get up in the morning I want to have a plan for the day. Are we going to go to town? Are we going to go work on our booth? Keep me entertained.
I don't know when I began to feel that I needed to be doing something all the time. I remember when I was a teenager I could sit up half the night and sleep most of the next day. Not anymore. I wake up by 5:30 and I don't believe I could go back to sleep if someone hit me in the head with a hammer.
I guess this is the reason I don't want to quit work. I am afraid I will not be able to keep myself focused or busy enough to fill all the hours in a day, week, month, year, or years. I am always amazed at how some of the women I know can just hop in the car and go lollygagging around at the mall everyday. If I go to the mall, I want to know what I'm going for, go in and get and leave as quickly as possible.
