Last night, according to my c-pap, I slept over 9 hours. Yes I was tired all day. My voice is not working right and is all raspy. Maybe I am sick. Maybe it's the weather. There are forest fires in Canada and the smoke is going all over the place.
Every evening I write a list of the things I want to do the next day. I have been moderately good at doing my "chores".
I have been reading a lot lately. Novels/ fiction
On the last page of the book I just finished we a very evocative passage:
"Now she saw that June beach scene differently. Her three children, she saw, had been staring at the horizon with the alert, tense stillness of explorers at the edge of the ocean, poised to begin their journeys. And she, shading her eyes in the distance had been trying to understand why they were leaving.
Where they were going without her.
How to say goodbye."
This sums up parenting. They all needed me so much and now they have gone off to their own lives without us.
