A Decent Day

If you've been around me for very long at all, you know I love Mondays! I started this one feeling energetic, but by mid-morning I was aching and cramping and tired. My sweet husband suggested I take a rest day, and so I have to an extent. I kept going, just at a slower pace. I knew that I wanted to get my morning routine and my housework done, so I just did the next thing till all that was done. It wasn't done in record time, but it's done. There are no piles staring at me, no dirty dishes or gritty floors, no icky sinks . . . that's the beauty of a routine. You can get the basics done and then rest if you need to. Laundry has been slow too, but it's getting done.

I am learning to quilt. I have two projects going right now, a doll quilt and a baby-size quilt. I still have to do the hand-quilting on the doll quilt, which is something I've never done before. I hope to do a little more on that tonight. And I just started cutting the pieces for the top of the other quilt over the weekend. I worked on that right before lunch, but my back was aching too much to continue on that today.

That's it for this Monday! I will post my Menu Plan tomorrow, a day late. Just wanted to share how having routines and a plan can help you get through those just-don't-feel-good days, when you aren't sick enough to be in bed, but not up to snuff either!
