I'm too young to rest

Hangin' with one of our backyard buddies.
 

Today marks the end of a three-day weekend for me.  I spent 2 days hanging out with my handsome husband.  We sat outside watching hummingbirds (and, of course, taking their pictures), doing some yardwork, enjoying the spectacular Arizona fall weather.  We did go visit Dave's Mom, Bonnie and Stepdad, Lee for a few hours on Saturday.  They are in their 80s.  I'm not sure Dave and I will ever see our 80s, but I hope so.

Yesterday I was bored out of my skull.  Normally, if I'm not at work, I'm writing, doing something related to writing, cleaning, working out ... something.  I did do some cleaning yesterday, got caught up, actually, which is rare.  Watched tv, spent a little time outside with Dave after he came home from work, then I vegged the rest of the evening.  I was supposed to be resting up for the chaos to come this week at work.  Resting is over rated.  I thought I wanted to rest.  As it turns out, I didn't enjoy it.

Sometimes I get stressed out because I know my house needs to be cleaned.  Well, my house is clean and, really, who cares? 

When I'm in my 80s I will probably do a lot of resting because, let's face it, I'll be pretty tired by then.  But for today I'm going to work out, eat a protein-filled breakfast, take a shower and start the loooong beautification process, run an errand on the way to work and get started with my week.

Maybe when I'm in the shower this morning I'll get a flash of an idea for the book (Guam Adventures - The Darkened Light).  That's what happened the last 2 times great ideas came my way. 

I better get started ... my tennis shoes want to be on my feet and working out is where I get my energy.
Next time I'll probably tell ya'll just a bit about my "Black Friday" experience coming up this week.  My goal is to view it as fun and interesting; it's less stressful that way, I hope.

Don't want to go out for Black Friday?  Dread Christmas shopping?  I have an idea!  Save yourself some gas and aggravation, order "Guam Adventures - Mystery of the Cave" for your youngster.  Just go to  createspace.com/4008187.  It's easy and there's no line!
