I stayed up late last night so was really looking forward to sleeping in. I had had to peel my eyes open at 7 when my alarm went off for the previous two days. Imagine my horror when I sprang awake at 6:25!! I grabbed a coffee and a snack and settled on the couch to watch Cell. Now I love Stephen King books, have most of them, in fact but I have already been suffering from stress stomach the last couple days (cause unknown as of yet) and this movie was not my finest choice. It was amusing and creepy and had a great cast, I will give it that. But I may stay away from Zombie movies for the duration of being alone. The rain pounding down did not help or did help with atmosphere!
Next, I prepped three tax returns, sent out email for fundraising for our cancelled festival and wrote out a few postcards for friends. And then the fun part, no really… The kids kicked in and I gifted Mom an iPad for her birthday May 7th. It arrived and we spent time this afternoon setting it up via FaceTime. That was an exercise in patience but I am proud of me for just reminding her we had all the time in the world and working our way through passwork changes and setting up email and Facebook etc. She did good! And I remained pleasant which is probably easier these days when we hear how many elders are dropping dead. It is a constant reminder to cherish what and who we have. It will be so much easier for her to message and Facetime with the grand and great grandkids now.
After all that, I decided to have a quick plate of deluxe nachos and then settle in to crochet and watch all the rest of Picard and then start in on The Handmaids Tale. So, I got a lot of bits done and watched so many episodes that it is now 2 in the morning!!!! I really ought to get to bed before I get another second wind.
