SO BORING

My dear friend commiserated lately that after 54 years of marriage having to fix one more dinner is just so boring.  It made me think about the things that I now am just too tired to care.  Still having to do it for  74 years-same old same old.  Well, it may seem funny,  but mine is brushing my teeth.

My dear mother was very careful to make sure we saw the dentist every six months and brushed every morning and night and so it goes.  Now I walk up to my sink and just stand there wishing I didn't have to do it again.

I'm better about flossing because I never did that until I moved in with my Mom at 48 and saw this 80 year old lady so faithful to floss her teeth every night.  I thought if she could have that habit then there is absolutely no excuse for me not to.  And so I began and so I do but that isn't boring yet because it hasn't been as many years.

I may have mentioned this one before, but my other annoyance is the end of a day.  I sit there in the midst of whatever I am doing or trying to finish and the clock strikes 11PM and I know it is really past time for me to be in bed.  Not only that, but I will still have to go into the kitchen and make sure the dishes are in the dishwasher and the counters and sink are clean.  Then I go to bed, have my evening devotions and sure enough the clock has already struck midnight and then some.  It is just so bothersome.  I haven't finished my day at all.  I just hate it.

Oh well, at least we get to wake up to a new day every morning.  That's a great gift and I truly am always grateful to my Dear Lord for granting it.  So off I go - can't wait to see what's in store and what new thing I will learn today.
