I am not used "wanting" to sleep the day away. Normally, under stress I go into overdrive; clean, organize, work in the yard, etc. My sister (Gloria) is waiting for me to paint her laundry room again, which is what I did during one of my stress periods a few years ago. While frustrated in this waiting mode, I am trying to focus on prayer, faith and hope. Also, focusing on tasks to keep me busy and focused on what is positive, feeling good about my accomplishments, and sleeping because I am tired. I do not want to waste my days!
If I had to receive this news, it is good that the month is late in the year and gardening was about done anyway. I have such a hard time seeing part of God's beauty dry up and choke from weeds. My personality doesn't allow me to ignore tasks I have set out to complete. That is going to be an issue during this process. I have to develop patience, the ability to prioritize what is important, and listen to advice. And, the big one... I am not always right. Ouch!
Finally... my tomato plants are producing a little. For some reason, Gloria's (sister) yard does not grow vegetables well. Flowers yes, but vegetable plants develop a mold. The plants are beautiful, but the blossoms fall off. Oh well, next year forget the work and go to the farmer's market.
