A lazy Wendysday so far.
For anyone new to this blog I came up with
the idea of Wendysday back in 2007 when I was blogging on Yahoo 360. The idea being:
“Nope, not a misspelling.
Why shouldn’t it be my day? Do I only get to have one day a year? i.e. my birthday (yes ok I know I also get mother’s day if the kids remember) but I’m taking over Wednesdays. They will be about me! (No this idea is not very original – I’ve adapted it from other blogs – hopefully no one will mind.”

It started off with information about me
and my family or various topics but evolved into was it a Wendysday or
not. I.e. had I had a good day or
not. Some days it was clearly not as I
didn’t even get to post a blog.
Today I’ve been busy so far copying blogs from
the sinking Multiply site and posting them here on blogger. They’re on a separate blog page that I will
set up properly once I’ve got all the blogs on it and then link it here. It will take a while as it’s interesting to
read back over things I’ve written. Much
of it I’ve just deleted and sometimes I think this page should be Wendy’s
Whinge rather than what it is but I guess it’s a balance of both and maybe
Waffle-with-Wendy is a bit less offputting.
Just hope no-one comes here looking for recipes!
If my name began with P say Patricia for
example I could very easily have Procrastinating with Patricia. But yesterday I did do two things on my
procrastination list. I boxed up a load
of books and took them to a local charity bookshop and more importantly I
sorted out ordering a new plaque for the garden of remembrance for my Mum and
the entry for the book of remembrance.
Once the plaque is ready her ashes will be put under the rose bush we
already had for my Dad and the new joint plaque will be put there. The entry in the remembrance book will be on
19th July – that is the day my Dad died so he already has an entry
on that date so we decided to keep them together. It didn’t seem fair on Rebecca to have Mum’s
entry on her date of death as that is her birthday and I didn’t want it on
Mum’s birthday as we are likely to be away then.
Mum’s birthday is actually today. She would have been 90 if she’d reached it so
it is a sad day but thankfully she is now at peace and I did not want her to
reach this milestone. It would have
given us another birthday dilemma of how to celebrate it when she would not
have known what all the fuss was about.
I need to get myself moving now as we’re
going camping this weekend and I’ve done nothing to prepare for that yet and
I’m going tomorrow! I also need to have
my kitchen ready for some work to be done on the external wall which is
starting on Tuesday.
In case I don’t get back for a bit have a
lovely weekend especially those in the UK where we have a bank holiday on
Monday.
I have too much to do and no energy to do it. Glad you got the energy, can you share?
ReplyDeleteI wish you had kept quiet about the you know what on Monday the rain Gods might be listening
ReplyDeleteMy mother's birthday, now after years have passed, is both sad but also joyful as I remember her life before Alzheimer's. We used to make her presents when we were kids and no matter what we made her, she always liked it. Nice about the ashes and the rosebush; I think that is a lovely idea.
ReplyDeleteI've been amalgamating some of my M blogs too. I don't want to save them all but it makes me sad I didn't actually write a real journal..
