Every week by the time Thursday comes around I start thinking about my week-end plans. I like to tease myself that I will do absolutely nothing. Just stay in my pajamas and read. This week I had three errands to run on Saturday. After that, do nothing.
Friday night I packed a box of books to send to Millhouse. I am trying to not keep every book I buy. Millhouse and her "READING HUSBAND" appreciate books. (I want a reading husband.) I am able to give books I love to them. Saturday I took the box of books to the post office. Millhouse should have some new reading material in a few days.
I stopped at our Walmartish type store and then headed to the library. I needed to pick up a couple of more audio books. What did I do before audio books? Answer: had a boring drive. Before I got to the library had a distressing call. My brother that got out of the hospital on Sunday, back into the hospital on Friday, had a broken ankle. That is when my lazy day slipped away.
This is not a complaint. I enjoy doing things for family. I picked up my sister-in-law and took her to visit my brother. While driving to the hospital about 20 minutes from home, we got the news he was being moved to a hospital in another town, 30 minutes from home. We still proceeded to Hospital A. Chatted for a bit. Waiting for ambulance to make the move. We started the next leg of our journey.
First I stopped at the Golden Arches for my new favorite thing, a Mocha Frappe. Last week was the first time I tried a cold coffee drink. Delicious!! I am in love. For some reason, I can never remember the word Frappe. I find myself saying Frappachino. I love that word! Confusing to already confused voices in the Golden Arches little sound boxes. My sister-in-law asked how I was enjoying my lazy day at home. That was funny all afternoon.
Next stop, bigger town, bigger hospital. The upside, Valet Parking. I love Valet Parking at a hospital. I do not love this big hospital. Spent the next few hours chatting with two brothers, two sister-in-laws. Sick brother was doing much better. He is always doing much better after I say he is not doing great. When a few of us are together talk always turn to family. So many people that were so important in our lives are gone. That makes me feel old. Even though I still get to be the little sister.
Returned home in time to order pizza for a late dinner. My favorite little people came to spend the night. That provided hugs and smiles.
It was not the day I planned. But it was a good day. A day I was able to assist family I love so much. We are not guaranteed forever with our families. I want to know I enjoyed them while we are together.
By the way, still in my pajamas today. House still not cleaned. Books not read. Lazy day.
