No rest for the respite

Though it's nice to have a change of pace from eldercare responsibilities, being home for four short days is no picnic. I've been in the garden pulling weeds each morning by 7:00. I had the air conditioners serviced, bought more paper products, cat litter, and cat food, and moved my winter clothes to storage. By the end of the day, I'm beat.

But in between those necessary tasks, I've lunched and dined with friends, talked with others by phone, and caught up, somewhat, with the joys and concerns of the neighborhood. Yes, it's wonderful to be home.

Today I had a much needed massage to work out the knots of tension in my head as well as my body. I feel like a new person.

I thank God for the opportunity to refresh and renew my energy for the challenges ahead.
