A New Week Begins

It’s Sunday morning and a new week begins. It’s going to be a busy week, so I suppose I’d better get busy with something that will make me feel happier. Perhaps happy isn’t the word I want in this case. I know that happiness is a spiritual attribute, so that may not be the right word in this situation.

I’m feeling blah, I’m not exactly down or blue; I’m just feeling blah. I feel as if there is something I’m missing, but I don’t know precisely what it is. Maybe the problem is the weather. I can only describe the weather in Las Vegas as weird. It hasn’t gotten hot enough to turn the cool air on and it’s not cold enough to turn the hot air back on. Not that I’m complaining mind you, because as long as the central air is off the power bill is down.

The weather isn’t normal and I’m feeling blah. I’m not looking forward to temperatures in the triple digits because I’ll have to turn the unit on and I’ll have to use the air conditioner in my car. Then there is the problem of convincing Mom that it’s too hot for her to stay in the car while I go into the grocery store.

Mom likes to sit in the car and watch the people pass by the car. The only time she can do this is in late fall, winter and early spring. The rest of the time she has to go into the store with me, but Mom isn’t convinced that it’s too hot for her to sit in the car during the summer. She get a bit upset when I insisted she go into the store with me.

I suspect I’m going to have to use another approach with her this year. Mom is stubborn and if she doesn’t want to do something she bulks at doing it. Maybe I should just ask her to help me with the grocery shopping and leave it at that, if she doesn’t want to help me then we go home and I will go back to the store later to get the stuff. Perhaps instead of using my debit card to buy groceries with, we use her card; that way she would have to go into the store with me.
