Time is the most precious commodity. And I seem to have a lot of it lately.
Last night Gary and I had a quite evening. We played cards and talked. It was very strange to sit in a quite living room without the background noise of the tube. I also forgot to mention that I fall asleep at night with the t.v. on. When I go up to bed I always turn it on - not to watch it, but to put me to sleep. Always have. Last night was a first (well, except for when we are camping or somewhere else where there isn't a t.v. accessible to me). It was soooo quite! I managed to do it though, it was easier than I thought it would be.
Habits are hard to break. Again, it was very weird to sit and read, knit or clean the house without noise. I had to turn on the radio again. But I did get a lot done today, I even managed to do some scrapbooking. I found that my evening walk with my dog was longer than usual also. No need to hurry home....it's not like I could turn on the news or jump on facebook.
Speaking of Facebook, I did cheat today. I peeked for about 30 seconds today and then felt guilty so I jumped off. This is tough! I feel like I'm missing out on stuff.
Yesterday afternoon we had a lot of strong winds. Gary said "do we have a high wind warning?" I said "I don't know, I can't watch the news." He said "well, I could check it out online..oh what's it going to matter it's not like we can change the weather anyway if there is a high wind warning." So true. I have been getting my news the old fashioned way - the newspaper.
The kids are doing better than I thought they would. Tonight was easier for them because they all had sports to go to so they weren't just sitting around the house trying to figure out something to do.
