Where Does the Time Go?

I thought keeping up with this blog would be no problem. Ha! Before I retired I would be a work and daydream about all the things I wanted to do. It's amazing how many chores you can do in your mind. Too bad it doesn't get done just by thinking about it. Like cleaning and rearranging the kitchen cabinets. The basement. In my mind, I had it all fixed up for play room for the grand kids and a work area for my so called projects. It's still a hell hole for junk and treasures. One of these days it might get done,but it still looks good the way I worked on it in my head.

When I was younger,working full time and raising kids,I never thought much about getting things done.It just got done because there wasn't time to think about getting it done. Funny how that works.

A few of my friends,who are senior citizens,complain about being bored and lonely.I suggest that they find something that they enjoy doing and go for it. Then I realize that they enjoy complaining about being bored and lonely. What a waste of time. It's just hard for me to understand how people can be live that. Then there's my senior friends and family that are in their 70's and 80's constantly doing something or going somewhere. Now I can't forget to mention some people I know that hang out in the bar day after day,drink after drink. That's all they do. Sure I like to go there to have a few cocktails a couple times a week. For me it's not going to be a daily habit. Well I haven't been to the Eagles in about a week and I know next time I go in there I'm gonna hear " Where have you been" and "Haven't seen you forever". I would like to reply "Duh,I have a life and have other things to do than to get stinkin drunk everyday". Being the nice person that I am I just tell them I've been busy.

I guess what I'm trying to say is if you think everyone and everything is against you,then it's up to you to get your mind right and move on to a more positive outlook. Hmmm,I think I might have been describing my ex-husband. Maybe I should thank him for being the way he was because it taught me that there was no way in hell I wanted to live such a pessimistic and miserable life. For my sake and my kids. He was dragging us down to a dark place. It was one of the hardest things I ever had to do,but I kicked myself in the ass to get me to move on with a better life. I was soo glad I did. Life is much better now.

On the lighter side,I need to get off my butt and get on with my day.
That's all I got to say about that.
