This is the life

Noon on a lazy, sunny, warm day. Vacation. Nothing that needs doing. Just chillin' on my deck. Watching my fish swim in the pond. Cruising Facebook. Answering text messages. No hurry. No one wants me for anything. Does it get better than this? No way. Well except to have Peace Man (PM) be here with me. But that's ok. He was here yesterday. Time alone to ponder the wonders of the universe is a good thing as well. What did I do to deserve this pleasure? I put in my time. No fear. I've been ignoring lots of ignorant text from the Whirling Vortex. Or WV as I like to call him. I'm suffering from a bad cold my lovely daughter gave me. I'm swatting at wasps that just happened to show up for the party. They like my aloe juice/water that I'm drinking to sooth my throat. They also like my cereal dish. Ha Ha. I ate it all already. None left. Shoo!!! My flowers are stunning. My waterfall is soothing. The lake view is spectacular. My book awaits. There are about 5 chapters left. A time-travelling fantasy mixed with a historical romance. I'm truly blessed. I have gotten to the place where I'm not thinking about work. That has taken about 3 weeks. You really can't shut off the work until you've been gone from it at least that long. I've been writing a journal article the past couple of months and I've been thinking about that, but shut that off as well. I missed the last writing community of practice meeting and didn't even give it a thought. Good. You should be able to shut your work brain off when you are on vacay. I need the time to fully unwind and enjoy the beauty around me. The vibrant fushia pinks of the geraniums in my flower pots. The sunshiny yellows of the begonias. The fiery reds of the salvia. Delightful.The occasional quacking that signals a text from my Lovely Daughter LD) interrupts the calm thoughts I've been trying to have. Luckily she's not freaked at me. The freakedness is aimed elsewhere but I get the joy of sharing in it. lol. Hey, at least she talks to me about everything. To contribute to the calm, I've shut off the sound of WV's texting so I don't have to get bombarded with that. I believe you should cut out of your life that which doesn't serve you. The distress was wearing on me. My Fabulous Son (FS) and LD want me to block WV on my phone. But I save the texts to give to the Helpful Brother (HB) to use when he speaks to the doc and psych about WV. Ah here comes LD now. Will go and see how I can be of assistance. Ta Ta.
Well that was fun. Nothing like a pissed off daughter to interrupt your zen. lol.
