I have been doing genealogy all day long. From the time I sipped my first cup of coffee until now, I have been at it! My fingers hurt from the keyboard and mouse.
At least I quit obsessing on RV's and campers, travel planning, routes and maps. Maybe I'll get back to that soon, but for now I'm glad to let it go for a day.
My cousin is visiting me at my apartment on Monday, and I know her eagle eye is going to discover every box and bag of items not put away and whatever mess I don't deal with between now and then. I know I will feel like a lazy slob, but I don't think I'm going to care, although I know I'll rush around tomorrow evening to try to make things presentable. What is presentable to me doesn't pass muster with a lot of folks, but I don't really care about that anymore either. Do I sound convinced?

As long as you're happy, don't worry about how anyone else feels.
ReplyDeleteIt's great to be older, I don't give a darn any longer. At least not much of a darn ☺
ReplyDeleteIt's good to take a break once in awhile.I wouldn't worry about what others think.
ReplyDeleteIt's your home...keep it how you want it. I agree with Vera in that as I've gotten older my standards have loosened up.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your visit with your cousin!
That loosening of standards thing is a real blast & I too am finally enjoying that side of thinking as well. It's one of the first baby steps to Cursmudgeonasitus. Live long & grouch a lot.....Yesereeeeeeee. Welcome to the real world of reality:))
ReplyDeleteI am with you all the way on my loosening of standards and I am finding that I actually enjoy the freedom it brings.
ReplyDeleteENJOY!!!
Gypsy - it's your home and they are the visitor. If they don't like your home, you can always sit outside on the patio. I too have reached that age where I just say - this is my home and I love it no matter how it looks to someone else. But do clean up some of the dust bunnies. LOL
ReplyDeleteGood attitude...to heck with what others think....right on Gypsy!
ReplyDeleteI have to keep reminding myself that folks come to my house to see ME, not my furniture arragement. The only place you need to keep clean is the bathroom.
ReplyDeleteThat said, I just wanted to commiserate with you on your eyes. It's been 10 months since my cataracts were removed, and I'm seeing well now. For awhile, I had the same off/on again blurriness. It will all go away. Soon.

I tell people that if they want to come see me, then come on. But if they want to come see my house they have to make an appointment.
