It’s after 9:00 p.m. and I should be in bed. But you know how it is when you have all this stuff to do right when you come home from the day job and then spend some chatty time with your spouse or kids or partner or housemate or even yourself over dinner and then have a bunch of other stuff to do after that? It’s 9:00 p.m. before you know it and there was no relaxing time at all.
I love relaxing time. I need relaxing time. I’m kind of lazy that way.
But tonight I was on a mission. I can’t say too much about it because the person for whom this mission must be accomplished might read my blog and it’s a surprise for him/her. Suffice it to say the mission involved technology, and with that I stink.
Stink, I say.
Needless to say the mission was not accomplished, but I haven’t lost hope yet. When it comes to computers and digital devices I’m usually determined to figure it out even if it takes me months. Unfortunately in this case I don’t have that long, so I better hop to it. Tomorrow I’ll give it another whirl.
And tomorrow will be Wednesday already! I had a nice, long weekend for Memorial Day, thanks to a government job that gives me national holidays off. I wouldn’t say the weekend was particularly relaxing either, because I went to the family cottage and there was a lot to do to open the place up for the summer. Charlotte did most of the work though, because she’s disciplined that way. There were windows to wash, an outhouse to scrub, cobwebs to brush away, dusting to do, animal gnawings to repair and a bunch of other stuff that we all pitched in to accomplish. It was a fun weekend though, spending time with everyone.
Because tomorrow is Wednesday I’ll be doing some craft work to get ready for the show at Chateau St. Croix next month. (Wednesdays are devoted to craft work for me.) There will be some candle pouring and product pricing done, and that always makes me feel productive. I’ll also have to get back to that technology project and see if I can figure it all out.
Lazy days of summer? I’d like proof of that, please. I’m rarely lazy during the summer months because the summer months demand a lot of activity, especially in places like Minnesota where half the year we’re snowed in. That’s when we’re supposed to be lazy, but it doesn’t seem like I am then either.
With that report I’m going to sign off and go to bed. I hope the sleep is good because I have to be awake and pay attention for the next twelve weeks or so. I’d probably sleep a lot better if I knew I could figure out this dang technology project.
I’ll keep you posted.

I’m intrigued…will be watching for an update!
Ugh, not much to be intrigued about. I’m sure my frustrations with technology are laughable to most people – mostly younger people who were born knowing what a USB is. I’m kind of getting the hang of my project, though. I’ll be happy if it all turns out, and will probably rejoice with a blog post about it. Thanks for reading!
I’m hoping you’re writing a manual on how to outsmart your smart phone: for dummies! I’m in desperate need of instruction!
New smart phone for MaryAnn? I still haven’t figured mine out. Sorry, no instruction manual on that from me!
Oh, and I think I must have that candle you pictured – water lily. Sounds like it smells lovely! I’m also in desperate need of some lovely new scents from my favorite chandler!
I’ll be at the Chateau on 06/21 and 06/22 if you want to see what I have. Of course you’re always welcome at the Auntie B’s Wax World Headquarters to work with me on creating a collection of whatever you want!
I rarely manage ‘to laze’. I always have such great plans ‘to laze’ but my lists are always too long and my time out of work, too short. Good luck with the lazing.
I know exactly what you mean, Lucie. I rarely laze happily. If I’m sitting around doing nothing I’m usually scolding myself for not being more productive, which is very counteractive to being lazy. Well, good luck to us both!
I know what you mean. There never seems to be a “slow” season. Well, I guess you have to schedule in down time these days, eh?
Scheduling down time – that’s just sad. The problem is, when I allow myself down time I’m uncomfortable because I think of all the other things I should be doing. Bah!
Sara hoping you got it sorted there is nothing worse for me than something techno going wrong, no patience and no idea. My nine year old son is who I turn to lol. Happy summer days for you.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who can’t keep up with the technology, although I’m pretty sure everyone, including you, is more up-to-date than I. It all turned out okay, so I guess I can chalk it up as a learning experience!
