JUST JUNE....Day 6

 

Sunday and the weekend will end today. 
Yesterday I had a visit with my husband. Stayed during one of the physical therapy sessions. I sort of overstayed my welcome and yes, was told by management at rehab. 
When I arrived home I sat and had a good cry.  A much needed release for. sure. 
Later this morning I’ll be on my way to an E-Board meeting at my Amvets post. I am the individual who takes minutes. 
Just hope it’s not a long meeting.  Sure it will be; just a feeling. 
My visit with my husband was upsetting to me.  He has a UTI and hooked up to antibiotics plus fluid for dehydration. He refuses to drink the liquid provided. He has to due to a problem swallowing but won’t. I try my best to force him to and he won’t. I just am at my wits end trying to explain why he needs to drink what he’s given.  Enough said. He’s stubborn at times. 
I wonder if there will be one morning I can sleep late?  Everyday I’m up by 6:30 and have to be ready to go someplace by eleven.  
I love the toy word yesterday of CROQUET.  In my adult community pre-Covid Monday was croquet day. I could tell the day of the week by the games played.  Funny isn’t it.  I played croquet a few times.  Never won many games but it was something different to do. Now in the later years, I had lawn darts and yes I enjoyed that game.  Of course one had to be careful not to get hit with the dart.  That thing could really hurt. 
My first piece does ring true of a reading dilemma I had back a while ago. It was raining and I wanted to read as when it rains my TV service goes out. I could not make up my mind between the two books, so I ended up reading a lighthearted cozy mystery instead. 
It’s time for me to get myself in gear for the day’s meeting. 
Until tomorrow....have a wonderful Sunday and as always Stay Safe.

             READING DECISIONS 
Rainy day blues....a stay indoors lazy 
      Saturday 
I just want to read away the afternoon 
Perhaps a good mystery or gothic 
tale 
A decision between “Jane Eyre” or “Rebecca” 
The latter categorized as both
 Decisions....Decisions....Decisions
 As the thunder roars....lightning 
   flashes and rain hits the window
I make my choice....something light 
    hearted to make me laugh

            MONDAY and CROQUET 
Whack....Whack....Whack 
The mallet hits the ball
The sound of wood hitting wood I hear
Adults screaming like children 
They try to hit their ball through the 
    hoop in the grass
Whack....Whack....Whack
“Yeah”....”good shot”....”hurray” voices 
      shout 
The noise penetrates in through my 
    open window
I peer out at the players enjoying the 
       game
Like children at play some throw 
   tantrums when things go wrong
Wonder if they knew the game once called ‘crooky’ or do they care
It’s all for fun as today is a Monday and 
     Croquet day in my adult community

    WACKY HOLIDAYS JUNE 5th
(National Veggie Burger Day; National 
  Gingerbread Day; National Bubbly Day
   and National Moonshine Day)
           
             WACKY THOUGHTS 
Gingerbread Day should be in 
   December not June
Perhaps it doesn’t matter....some like it 
     all year
Bubbly I can go for a flute or two
  as I try to enjoy the veggie burger
Although moonshine might be a better 
   choice
Champagne is reserved for a bacon       
    mushroom cheeseburger
