Saturdays are almost always solitary for me. My friends in Mississippi all have husbands and children and they need to be with their families on Saturdays. So on Saturdays I am alone at home. I read all morning, sitting in my corner of the living room. And of course I must make my own meals too. This morning, by the time I got around to preparing breakfast it was 10:30 so I ate a yoghurt and drank a cup of tea while I read. To get even better, most of the day it rained, a gentle steady rain which was perfect for reading.
I try to get some walking in the house so after reading I walked and did my leg exercises. And I watched TV when I ate lunch. Portia had cooked for me for the weekend so I heated cooked carrots and a hamburg patty for lunch. It was good. And I took a nap, which is always sweeter in the rain. I like to watch a gospel hour on Tv and of course, the hockey games are still filling the screen.
I used to phone friends on Saturday but of recent months I have stopped doing that and I am not sure why. Perhaps I am used to not talking to anyone on a Saturday. I still text but not much. Today Chantes was not working. And Portia never works on the weekend so Saturday I am really and truly all by myself. But for some reason, I am not lonely. In fact, I had a good day. But tomorrow I will be ready to see Christina and the girls for brunch. Enough is enough being alone.
