Day 202

Megan shared her peach cobbler and ice cream and it was delicious. I completed the Thursday chores, drove the car, cleaned the house, and bought groceries, all normal activities. Story group was super. The theme was music. Carol brought her mantra CD, Laurie brought music that bonded her with father, and Delia told about concerts with Bob Kramer. The sharing is intimate. Then I did a tell/show about the business card sized thank-yous to send with my checks. A whole day of sharing.

Day 201

Story group will be the favorite event today. I will clean the house, drive the car, buy groceries while I look forward to time with my group. Much as I like my place on the Dem committee, I’m feeling that I don’t know enough to be useful. When I send my notes to them, I may miss the important stuff. Guess I will learn by listening and having feedback. As long as I’m willing to sit through that BOS behavior, I will serve.

Day 200

Tracy gave me relief. I noticed my posture was better and walking was easier. This morning I’m sore but mobile and ready for a good day. The BOS was four and a half hours of politics and some county business. What a display of rudeness. I will send my notes to the committee this morning. Ellen and Art brought tomatoes and Megan made pasta sauce. Art was clutching his heart pillow but looks surprisingly well. I enjoy my connections with friends and community.

Day 199

I woke up unwell again with the pain in my neck and headache. Went away with coffee except the remnants are with me. I will see Tracy this afternoon and hope he can help with chiropractic care . The Dem committee meeting was long and interesting. I learn as much as I can from showing up and listening. BOS this morning and I will take a long walk before the sitting spell. Not too enthusiastic and I’m sorry that I don’t feel well.

Day 198

Woke up okay. Still a little hangover from yesterday’s migraine. My neck is sore to the touch as is my head. I don’t get those often, thank god, but when I do it’s as if it has saved up for a big bang. Today is yard clearing. There is no rain in sight and it will rain and I want to be ready. Conversations with Megan and Kelle about the same subject: how to keep everything they want in a neat usable way.

Day 197

Woke up sick. The nagging little backache that I was able to walk out is now a full spasm pain plus neck and headache. I didn’t call Tracy on Friday when I thought about it and now I can put up with it. Just watering the orchids is trouble and I don’t know if I can even contemplate church. Darn it all. I like my healthy self. Yesterday morning was okay with the walk with Hollie to the market. Downhill in the afternoon.

Day 193

Interesting visitors yesterday made the effort worthwhile. I enjoy travel stories and like to engage in personal stories too. Many Canadian are traveling through. This morning the smoke is bad and we are going to the market together.  Maybe Bosc pears today. I’m still want squash, string beans, and cabbage. It is usually a social walk and that is my favorite part plus our family time. I’m glad my bubble is back in the middle. No idea why I had the horrible day.
