Back When I Was Wonder Woman...

There was a time when I could make bread and homemade jam, 

have dinner in the oven and take a meal to a sick friend,
(these are zucchini boats--love them!)

sew a prom dress,

run kids to school and dance classes,
and mop the kitchen floor...

ALL ON THE SAME DAY!

I thought those energetic days were long gone...until I sold my house.

My body and brain are on automatic pilot. Just when I think I cannot pack, lift, move, or shove one more thing, I get up and do more. Everyday I feel like Indiana Jones when he was so beat up he could only point to a few spots on his body that didn't hurt. Advil and ice are my best friends.

Sewing? Not much of that going on here. I have a little spot in the corner with my need-to-have stuff, but between lack of energy, time, and creative thoughts it doesn't get used much. Luckily, I had my Wicked projects almost finished before my packing began.

Enough of my whining!

Wicked is coming! Aren't you excited!

    Hope the move goes smoothly and that you'll soon be settled in. Wonder Woman needs a day off!

    Well, You still are WONDERful.
    Moving is exhausting.
    Where did you move to? I see you did not buy any of the two houses for sale on my street.
    :::;sigh:::
    Just focus on getting your new nest at least half way organized
    then you will be on fire to start sewing

  12. Sometimes even Wonder Woman needs time off. The last time I moved I was 68 and I was just like you now ihave FM and Chronic Fatigue and can barely do much. I save all my energy these days for looking after my grandson and quilting. The rest gets done so I feel your pain too.
    Take care and pace yourself I never did.
    Good luck on your move. Blessings Sandra
