All Set
Today I did not get up until quite late and then I spent the afternoon at the Ruston library and came home late this afternoon with ten audio books. They are all on CDs for I much prefer CDs over tapes for it is much easier to backtrack if I fall asleep while listening. Now I am all set for the next week or two with books to listen to as I fall asleep each night.
Today I decided that Friday will be the day that I do whatever I want or nothing at all and will not feel guilty about it. I have been feeling somewhat guilty when I spend Fridays doing nothing since I do not do all that much the rest of the week. Years ago when Don was alive and the kids were small, every Friday I would leave home after the kids left for school and would be back home before they got home in the afternoon. In those days I still liked to shop so I would go out and shop for things for the kids, Don, or for me. Friday was more or less my day to get away from housework and all the others things that wives and mothers do daily. I have more or less continued to go out on Friday but for some time I usually just go to the library and out for lunch. For me these days, shopping is boring, tiring, and at the bottom of my list of fun things to do.
