Sunday Thoughts October 5, 2025

      I've been groggy today after a fun late afternoon to late evening with my siblings. We cleaned a very tidy park, then had a delicious dinner spread compliments of my sister with a few sides and desserts from the rest of us. We finally got to a very deep book club discussion of Suzanne Redfearns In an Instant. We played cards after and lost track of time. After helping my sister cleanup, I finally got home after midnight. 

     I still was up just a bit later than normal and watched the Vikings in London come from behind victory. I finally did a bit more than just tidy and cleaned bathrooms, dusted, vacuumed, and a huge load of towels. I've a busy week ahead so needed to take advantage of a quiet house. Dinner was good company and just OK food. I avoided anything to drink other than water as between last night's and tonight's rich and salty food, I just needed to balance. 

     We got a nice slow well needed rain late morning. It still warmed up to mud 70's but fall weather resumes tomorrow. I have to serve as a proxy for someone on vacation tomorrow and be in the office. I should be home by 12 to finish my day, then Mom's book club tomorrow night. I hope to make some quick bread to bring along as soon as I get home. I need to finish that book when I hit publish. 

I can relate to this cat...and when you
actually need to be in person. 

      Thanks for all the comments and encouragement about travel in yesterday's post. I enjoyed interacting with you all and suggestions or affirmation on going to a few places. I also realize as I finish this post, that since retiring from full time work, I don't get those Sunday night dreaded thoughts of the week ahead, even though I m actually working. That's about it for my thoughts to wrap up the weekend and start the week.

  1. I love those Sunday nights without the dread of having to go to work on Monday. Sounds like a good time with your siblings, that’s great!

    2. No, I’m currently tutoring right now and I help Bailey a lot with her business. I’m not ready to say I’m retired yet. 😂 maybe when I turn 60. 🤷‍♀️ 😂

    1. Also these short ( kind of) projects are not too much of a brain suck. I'm contributing but not having to make decisions.

  3. I'm back to the Sunday night vibes, although less so than my other job. Definitely still some "oh no, have to set the alarm for 5:30" type stuff, though.

  4. In that you are still working part time, it is so great that you are not experiencing the dread I would assume you felt prior to resigning and returning to your former workplace on your own terms. What a positive turn for you.

    1. It's part time but also limited time frame. No decision making helps too.

    1. I do know if that will ever be my reality but it's not work causing insomnia.

    1. It's really a shame so many have it. Mondays typically were my hard day...that was Tuesday, but knowing the weekend was over is a tough feeling.

  9. It seems I feel like I look that way all the time!

    1. If my hair was short, no doubt that's be me.

  10. I think there is a fancy word or term for the Sunday afternoon down moods.

    1. You're probably right as this is in your lane I believe. It's nice to not dread Mondays.
