Are you organised or unstructured on the weekends?/WEEK 181

Good evening hivers, hope you are having a fun weekend. Very happy and grateful with the proposals of our friend @galenkp Below I share with you my reflection on one of your questions.

Are you organised or unstructured on the weekends? Tell us which, explain and give examples.

As I have told you in previous occasions I live with my mother and my son, as my mother has an advanced age I am the one who has taken the responsibility of the house, I am the one in charge that everything goes in perfect order and to fulfill the household chores. To maintain order and balance in the house it is necessary to carry out many tasks, such as going out to the supermarket, to the pharmacy to refill the medicines, and to carry out all the necessary errands so that nothing is missing in the home. Another of the activities that I do during the week is to keep the house tidy and cook, this activity takes a lot of time, many times I feel that the clock is my enemy because its needles advance very fast and when the night comes I have not completed half of the tasks that are on my list. When I put my head on the pillow sleep comes right away, I usually have a very restful rest, when I wake up I feel full of energy to start my day with a lot of optimism and good attitude. I make this preamble so you can imagine how I build and plan my weekends.

My weekends are very quiet, I don't usually make plans, but I do try to do activities that make me happy. Like going for a walk to my favorite mall, sometimes I go out like my mom to enjoy a tasty ice cream while we talk enjoying a beautiful view or I invite her to have lunch with her favorite food which is chicken and french fries. My mom suffers from scoliosis, for this reason many times I buy the ice cream or food and take her home to enjoy it at home, while we listen to her favorite songs and she tells me nice anecdotes of her youth.

On weekends I forget to tidy up the house, I try to feel like it's a little vacation, disconnecting in this way makes your body relax, it's a good tool to get a good rest. I take advantage of the weekends to do everything that is not planned in our life, many times we improvise and fulfill the desires that appear in our mind. On one occasion, we were sitting and talking and my mom asked me how she would look with red hair, I immediately went to the drugstore and bought a red wine colored dye. Between my son and I we painted it, cut it a little and dried it with the hair dryer, my mom was very happy to see how her wish was turned into a beautiful reality.

My weekends are the reward for the week's work, although I must confess that I don't feel that it is work, I have always had the philosophy that when your activities go hand in hand with love then you don't feel that you are working but that you are enjoying life.
