Life Goes on

 

 

 

Life goes on, very true words wrote by the great Robert Frost.

 

My weekend was filled with highs and lows.

 Saturday I met up with my friend around lunchtime. Then I went grocery shopping . On arriving home my son came to help me unload the car. Exclaiming he didn't know the apocalypse was coming next week from the amount of bags. My husband decides to help unpack the bags. He has a recent diagnosis of early onset dementia. Most of the time he's good but he's very difficult to reason with at times. So, patience is needed. He was trying to put margarine in the cupboard and my son was arguing with him saying it correctly needs to go in the fridge. I whispered to my son to let him put it in the cupboard and ill move it later. This thankfully diffused the situation.Then I spent the afternoon catching up with The Handmaids Tale.  A very dark story set in the future where fertile women are forced to have sex and have babies for rich couples. Its a very addicting story showing how quickly society can revert to a time when women were seen as people without any rights or voice.

 

Sunday was Fathers Day. So, id booked a table for lunch to take my husband out with the children. We had an excellent lunch which I managed to keep down, then I went to watch my son's  fishing. Which actually means I lay in the sun reading a book. Right now I am reading The Strain trilogy. My friends would probably roll their eyes and say vampires again Anna. Is it an obsession of yours. Yes, actually it is. I love fantasy horror.   

Then I spent the evening indulging in a passion of mine cooking. I love to bake and I obsessively spend vast amounts of time searching for recipes and buying cooking magazines and books. So, I baked pies and cookies and made 2 desserts and got the ingredients together to make my famous pulled pork on Monday.

 

My quote of the day

Be who you are not who the world wants you to be.
