This week was hubby's first of his semi-retirement. He was going to retire, and then they offered him part-time, 2 days a week, so he took it. Those extra days of sleeping in do seem to be making him less stressed, which is good, and it's not as if all he's doing is sleeping. Just that I want him to be able to sleep as much as his body needs. Between the Long Covid and the Leukaemia, his body is almost permanently fatigued. This way, it's getting the rest it needs.
He's not being lazy, by any means. Today he's out mowing down the field, in preparation for building a berm alongside our fence. Just one of many long term projects ahead, including replacing the old barn, and the old trailer. Generally tidying up, neatening and organizing outside ... as well as the ptojects of remodelling inside. He loves the tractor and all its implements, it probably ranks as the best gift he ever received, surpassing even his flying lesson/ride in a WWII training plane.
The storms this week stopped some of the outdoor activities ... it was torrential, thunder and lightning, tornado watches, scary stuff. I ended up in the living room for some of the night as I worried I'd wake him up with my tossing and turning. I am deathly scared of thunderstorms, and have been since I was young, way before moving here where there's the possibility of tornadoes in them. That's just given me something else to worry about!
It's been a fairly good week though, so here's to the next.
