I didn't go online at all yesterday. Needed a break.
Things are going well. I am concerned that my sleep pattern is getting out of hand. I justify it by saying I do more thinking and am more creative.
After church, I (I say I but Margaret helped) cooked a spiral ham. Margaret put it in the oven about an hour before I got home. I fried some potatoes to go with it. Nice meal. The ham is soo good. I made an "Ugly" cake with Peanut Butter frosting. I gave some ham and cake to my neighbor. I also asked another neighbor if I it was okay if I weed eat his strip of grass along the sidewalk. My reason is two-fold. 1. I want to help and 2. I want to play with my weedeater..LOL!
I am trying to start a structured day. The reason is I feel like I waste too much time. Since I'm not working I just flow along aimlessly. I miss having set things to do. I have instituted many things to do. I look at howmuch time I have each day. I have on average 16 hours of wakefulness. I do my 3-4 hours of reading each day. That leaves 12 hours. I am working on ways to use that 12 hours wiser. I don't want to be busy all the time..although Margaret says I do. I am thinking and trying. The hard part is starting to do it. Once I'm past that I can I continue.
Take care...

Hi Dave,
I have a theory that sometimes you need to break your life down into one day at a time. By that: focus on each hour in the beginning when the road ahead seems long. It is a way not to overwhelm yourself.
You seem to be saying [if I read you right] that you either fill up your days or do nothing. Of course there can be a happy medium.
My days have been spend working on my manuscript. It takes a lot of time and energy out of me. Luckily the agent told me I do not have to do all the revisions before she pitches the book to editors.
So I understand your dilemma though mine is most likely the opposite: the goal for me is to do nothing and rest and relax.
Goodnight.
Regards,
Christina
