Why is this day so slow? And why do I not want to do anything? Golly. You ever have those days where you feel like you want to jump out of your skin? I'm having one of those days. I feel edgy and restless, yet aimless and fatigued. Maybe it's because my vacation is coming up, and I am so tired of waiting for it. It seems like it's taken forever to get here. I just hope my vacation goes by slowly, so I can savor every moment and genuinely experience rejuvenation.
I know you're not supposed to broadcast when you're out of town, because that is just an invitation for someone to burglarize your home. So I'm not going to pinpoint exactly when we're leaving and coming back - I'll just say that it's soon.
I feel like I need to somehow get excitement and/or joy out of grocery shopping. You know why? I HATE grocery shopping. It's such a drudge, and it's an hour of my life every week that I will never get back. But how to get joy out of it? I don't see how it's possible. Part of the problem is that I almost always have to do it by myself (I shop on Saturdays, and Mark works almost every Saturday), and lugging all the heavy bags up to our 2nd floor apartment is the worst. I usually have to make 4 or 5 trips, and by then I'm really hot and worn out. That probably says more about my stamina and general physical fitness than anything, but anyway... Going to the store, buying the same staples over and over, trying to figure out what to buy for all the dinners that week, blah, blah, blah, yuck. I probably shouldn't complain, because at least we have the resources to replenish our food supply every week. A lot of people don't. But for once can I just get someone else to pick out everything and lug it all upstairs for me? Or maybe I should change my shopping day to Sundays, that way I have Mark to help me. But my original thought process was that I'd get the chores and errands done while Mark was working, so we could relax on Sunday. Moving the grocery trip to Sunday would kind of ruin that. What would you do in my position? Keep sucking it up and shop by yourself on Saturday, or push it to Sunday, your day of rest, so you can have company and assistance?
