resignation

I was up at 7, made coffee, and walked around our loop 10 time. I was waiting for our neighbor to get home from his walk so we could work on installing our vent on the cargo trailer. Evelyn prepared for her Bible study when she wakened. The neighbor, Clarence, and I went to Lowes to get some hardware and returned to work. We had to cut a hole in the top, drill holes and affix the vent with some caulking. Evelyn had a good study but didn’t get home until nearly 2. I thought the women had taken her to lunch, but she had gone to the nail parlor to have her nails refilled. Unfortunately, the man said she had to remove them. Her fingers were sore. I had eaten lunch before she arrived. She rested a very short while and began preparing a meal for another woman and her husband. She had had surgery and couldn’t do much. Evelyn is often exhausted but refuses to rest. I have tried to get her to do that more often but have come to the realization that she is not going to. I try dragging her to bed, being sarcastic, and refusing to participate, but to no avail. Therefore, I will try to resign from the position of “rest police” and “rest enforcer”. If she enjoys feeling tired but “sucking it up” to endanger her health, it is not my business. She is of age. We delivered the meal and came home to eat ours. Afterward she wanted to walk twice around our loop. On the way, the neighbor invited is for some lemon meringue pie he had made. We returned home and watched “Assassination Tango” starring Robert DuVall. It was good and had many scenes of Argentineans doing some beautiful tangos. I talked briefly with Andrew about his paper and learned he will send another soon.
