Day 256

Slow but interesting duty at the CofC. One hour of phoning at the Dem office. The election is over and our people and propositions did okay. I enjoy being part of the action. No point is sitting and worrying when there is something to do. I keep an oar in the water. Steph Wenning asked me to lead a writing group for veterans in January through March. I felt my synapses snapping at the stimulating prospect. I have been wanting a new project.

Day 255

Election Day. Here’s a prayer that the expectation of a blue tsunami comes true. After my CofC duty, I will go to the office and make phone calls to people who haven’t voted yet. The group will meet later for pizza and TV watching the results. I may not stay for the whole party as I get tired before 10PM. Now I can move the political signs off my lawn. I’m feeling better and sleeping better too. Makes a difference to my activities.

Day 254

The great domestic energy surge lasted until after church when I had an equal and opposite reaction and was flat for two hours! Then I recovered and walked to the store with Carol. Today I will drive the car, shop for groceries, and work in the greenhouse. Since the house is spiffy I can use my energy outside. I’m staying away from news and Facebook. The divisions and hatred are horrifying and scare me. I do what I can here in my neighborhood.

Day 253

My first phone calls were awkward but I did communicate my message. Lots of old numbers and out of service ones. I talked to a couple of humans but mostly machines. Felt good and left feeling that I had added to our quest for voter turnout. Megan and I had a Cobb sandwiches at Good Harvest and then I kicked back and relaxed for the rest of the day. Woke up zippy and had a totally clean bedroom and floors before 6 AM.

Day 252

Slow at the CofC. Tourist season is over. I slept much better. May be the spray that Karen gave me for anxiety and pain. This morning I will go to Dem headquarters and make phone calls to people who haven’t sent in their ballots. Hollie is coming too. I am part of the process and it’s a duty that I can do well. First the stretches and mat exercises. It’s especially important when I’m going to be sitting for a couple of hours.

Day 251

Joan prescribed the medication that I wanted and two doses are on board. I enjoyed the hot rocks. They warm my bones.  Karen does such a caring and intuitive massage. Today is CofC and with the help of AZO I know I can do my duty. I cancelled working the phones with the Dems later. Tomorrow I will be there and participate in getting the voters out. My immune system is strong and infection will not last. I need my activities and people.

Day 250

Thanks to AZO I had a decent day complete with a couple of walks. Had a test at the hospital at 4 PM. Hope to get a report soon as today the symptoms are back. I have an appointment with Karen for a massage this afternoon and don’t want to miss it. My immune system must be weakened by the anxiety that has been a bother lately. The collective mind must be struggling to shower positivity too. I’ll do my best get well.
