and that's quite the true statement. We take so many things for granted. The other things, we don't know about ourselves until something comes along to teach us a lesson. I'm getting both of that today.
I only get one day off, because I worked yesterday. But it's a miserable day at home. The neighbors are getting a new roof, and there's a lot of air-hammering, pounding and general noise from that direction, along with strangers on a roof -- which Sadie can see from her vantage place in the backyard. What that means is a lot of barking on her part.
What I'm learning about myself today is that I really, REALLY, need my down time from work where there is noise, people and confusion on a daily basis. I took my weekends for granted, because I live in a small, quiet community -- and love it! Until today.
I have taken Sadie for two walks, just to get out of the house and away from the noise. I'm finding it hard to focus on anything, like doing chores. I should be doing my laundry, but I just can't seem to find it in me to get started on anything. I've tried reading, TV, even CD's to keep the noise level down. I have closed all the bedroom doors just to muffle the noise as much as possible.
I am keeping my fingers crossed that they knock off early today.
I really need some quiet time this afternoon if I'm going to regain my sanity to make it through the next work week!
Happy Sunday, y'all :)
