Journal

I'm going to blog today as though I am writing in a journal.  Kind of recording the thoughts I am having today.  This morning while getting my day started I opened the door leading to the garage where our trash container is located.  I needed to put something in it.  As I was doing that I noticed the garage floor since the car was not in the garage.  It looks awful!  Needs a good cleaning and maybe  a coating of paint.  Then after going back into the house and looking around I realized something else.  My whole house needs a good cleaning.  That brought on the thoughts of why things are in this shape.  The answer is age and health, its as simple as that.  It made me think of my parents and in-laws homes as they got older.  The same could have been said about those homes.  In need of a good cleaning.  As we have aged it is easier to just ignore some of the dust and dirt.  It is easier to think, maybe tomorrow I will do something about this.  Sadly, tomorrow doesn't seem to make a big difference.  The hubby and I are both dealing with disease that has no cures and that along with age makes things more and more difficult.  It's not like we are sitting in filth or anything.  No, things are fairly neat and in place but~~ If a closer look were to be taken at the windows that need cleaning or the carpet that needs sweeping or the tables that need dusting, etc. etc. well~~  We have become so set in our ways.  We go to bed at the same time each night.  We get up pretty much at the same time each morning.  The same breakfast is eaten each day in fact every meal is the same each week.  The same TV shows are watched each day.   I hear from next to no one on the phone.  The husband does go up the street each day..maybe three times a day..to visit and talk with other people who go there each day.  He talks with his brothers on the phone.  Sadly my only sibling is deceased.  I have two long time friends but both live in different States so not much in the way of visiting.  I have my reading and that keeps me occupied.  With income being a fixed amount each month I only get books that are free on my nook so sometimes the books leave a little to be desired.  Never in my youth did I realize that life would one day become as it is now.  BlogSpot is giving me troubles..maybe trying to tell me this is too awful to be writing about.  Let me end real quick by saying..glad to be alive and have my husband and children and grandchildren no matter what my everyday life is.  Done for today!
