Sunday.... Ahhh The Most Relaxing Day Of The Week

What a day.... poor Hubby has worked hard again today, but I, on the other hand, have had a lovely day.

A day to sleep in is always appreciated but they don't come often in our house. In the last week, I have given myself permission to rest more as this cough settles in for a hard fight. Hubby on the other hand has had to work double hard because I'm not feeling well. This weekend was meant as an opportunity to do some more work on the renovation, which has come to a grinding halt. Next weekend Hubby's brother and sister-in-law will come for a visit and so, while the house is livable for a family of four who don't care about seeing each other strut around in their skivies, it is not really appropriate for company.

Problem #1: Hubby had to haul hay for the animals which took the better part of a day. Yesterday to be exact. Between feeding the animals and doing chores and hauling hay... well Hubby was in no mood for house renovations.

Problem #2: The cistern was almost empty and so today Hubby had to haul water because I need to do some laundry to de-H1N1 the house. Daughter #2 plopped a load of reds in the washer and turned the washer on without consulting parents and so the cistern went dry and the pump had to be primed. This did not please Hubby. It did not please me either because Hubby had to spend an hour priming the pump instead of getting the renovations done.

Meanwhile, I spent a great deal of time enjoying the morning listening to the radio with CBC programing. (Hubby did do that too with me) then made a nice, no stress, no fuss lunch for everyone and went to lie down for a nap. That's the kind of Sunday I enjoy. The only thing that could have made it better is if Hubby could have enjoyed the day too. We are now listening to a program on CBC with an interview with Terry Eagleton, who is outspoken about atheism... interesting! Hubby will take a few moments to relax, and listen to the program too... but then the next two panels will be put up in our bedroom in an effort to give us privacy before our company arrives next weekend....

Sunday with no demands.... they're great! They're just too few....

Here's my picture for the day.... this picture has a feeling to it.... it's the kind of feeling I get on a lazy Sunday....
