I'm  coming up on a 3 1/2 day "weekend" (1/2 day Saturday then RDO Sunday, holiday Monday, RDO Tuesday), and I have absolutely nothing special planned outside the house.  This is kind of sad, but - on the other hand - I can use some unstructured time.  Here are a few of the things I want to do:

*  Put on "OFF" and sleep on my garden swing one night.  I've been wanting to do this for some reason.

*  Finish Sierra's gown (if I focused myself, I could probably do it)

*  Garden work - there's too many tasks to list in a line or two.

*  I'd like to sleep in late one day.

"Weekend" Plans
It's Saturday - after 12noon my "weekend" begins. This weekend I've got no special plans. I am going to work on Sierra's gown, get some work done in the garden, and pick up the house. Pretty routine. Next week I'm working a lot of overtime hours, so it will be important to get food prepping done and have the house clean - that way I don't have to worry about any of that after/before work.

Dermatologist Tuesday
This upcoming Tuesday I have a Dermatologist appt. The cancer on my left ear looks like it's coming back, and I am noticing a new area on the left side of my nose. Then there is the area on the right side of my temple that I forgot to have them check last time. ugh. 

Communes
I've begun looking into the idea of joining an intentional community or eco-village - or something similar.  It appears that my family really has no intention of moving here, and I can't blame them - who would voluntarily leave "paradise"?  I don't want to be alone though, and basically that is what I am.  The one friend I have here really is just an acquaintance anymore - she has her family and her life that she's busy with.  I need to have a mutual support network; if that isn't with my relatives - then I can create something similar for myself.  I don't think we were meant to be in this world entirely solo - it's just not natural or healthy.  This all would be a big move, so once I decide on a direction I'll need to make a game plan.  Seems like I just recently completed the master game plan which started with saving to buy my own home and move to the continental US and settle in..... sigh, it never ends.

Good Movie
I rented The Last Whimsy the other day. Very good movie.  I didn't think I'd like it, but something told me to go ahead and give it a try - I'm glad I did.
