Rainbows and Sleep

Today has been another rainy day. I am not good on rainy days. It is so depressing to sit in the house so much. I have tried to quilt but I am so exhausted.
This morning I got up at 730, ate my Cream of Wheat, and went back to bed until noon. I kept telling myself it was OK.
The phone rang three times, I just could not muster up the energy to answer it. I figured if it was important they would leave a message.
First call, was David, I heard him and thought, "I will call when I feel better and can talk".
He called two more times but left no message so I assumed it was junk calls.
I should never assume. It was him and he was worried. Suddenly I heard the back door,
(I was still in bed and asleep). I heard him run down the hall.
He ran in calling my name. I asked him "Why are you home?" He said "I tried to call and since you did not answer and the house was still dark and you were still in bed, something was wrong".
I scared him to death. He has to stop that. HE HAS TO!
I Can not be afraid to rest when I need to. Afraid he fly home and check on me. What if I had been in the garage? I can bet he would have breathed a sigh of relief and made up some story as to why he was home. Like "OH I forgot something."
I apologized to him several times for not answering the phone but he does know I do that when it is unknown caller, and if they do not leave messages. I do not take calls identified as unknown.
One of the phones in his office is Unknown Caller. One is J and B. Now we need to figure out which is which so I can identify him.
I do feel much better tonight, I am more alert. I feel like I have a bug or something. You know, can't seem to drag yourself to do the ordinary things that need done.
California needs the rain, and I am happy for it and I am even more happy to see the beautiful rainbows.
Today was no exception. The rainbow was beautiful.
I did make it a point to run outside when I saw the sun and rain together. I knew in the East was my promise of sunshine to come. It makes me stop and think when I see a rainbow. Think of the glory of God in the beauty that surrounds us.
The rain needs to stay longer but it needs to get warmer, Rain is OK but warm rain is better.
Oh man are we never happy? Just complain all time. Complain because it is dry, complain because it rains too long, Complain because it is too hot, Too cold, too windy.
We are human, I guess that is our job. Too bad, I think we should be thankful for his blessings each day.
Now if he will just make me wake up and get my rear in gear.
I really need to clean my stinky garage. The one attached to the house. I have a theory as to the stink.
Recall last fall, my little episode with the down comforter and pillow?
Well I got some of the down in my garage sink. I think some are stuck in the trap. That would stink. Down stinks when it is wet. Feathers stink when they are wet. That is the only explanation I can come up with. I have cleaned the garage and washed it down with bleach and pine sol. I wipe it all down and it still stinks.
Removing the trap is my next option.
So that may MAY be my chore tomorrow. I had planned it today but my body did not cooperate.
On days like this it is a good thing no one depends on me for care, I could in no way take care of anyone let alone myself.
I did get up and call David to let him know I was OK. He was glad I called.
I did make him dinner, (toast, bacon and eggs), Hey food is food. Even if it is breakfast for dinner.
Tomorrow I promise something better.
I do, I promise. Chicken something tomorrow. Maybe dressing casserole with corn on the cob.
Sounds good to me.
