Day 286

Minnie had some extractions and cleaning for $625.43. I have anti-biotics and pain medication for her. She will feel better when she heals. I’ll feel better when my leg heals too. It’s persistent and I know it’s because I push myself. This month of no exercise and slow pace plus too much time in the house has probably netted me a weight gain. Carol was better than I expected and I’m grateful. She is walking again. CofC today and it will be quiet.

Day 285

Minnie can’t believe that I’m not going to feed her breakfast. She has a vet appointment for a teeth cleaning and has to go without food and water. Love my dogs and Dachshunds are notorious for bad teeth. I refuse to brush their teeth so we have to go to the vet for big bucks.  Later I will visit Carol. She is in terrible physical condition. She will fly to Seattle for the holidays and I will tend to her papers and mail.

Day 284

My poor old leg is creaky this morning but usable. I can rest more today except for filling the green bin I have no agenda. Probably find some nook or cranny to inspect and sort. The Kitchen Queen is up for a clean out. Lots of old unused stuff in it. Yesterday was okay. Quiet at the CofC with only a few visitors for Christmas tree permits. Steph says I will have to do keys and codes for the writing class. Oh well.

Day 283

I pushed myself yesterday and today I’m using the cane. Overdid a bunch, knew it while I was doing it. I can’t complain when I did it to myself but it will make my day less enjoyable.  The refrigerator is full and I had a good dinner of vegs and chicken. Today is CofC followed by a conversation with Steph about the writing class. She has posters for me to distribute and I have questions. I’m looking forward to it. I need stimulation.

Day 282

Didn’t go to church. Took a short walk instead. Then Karen came and we went to Rob’s dispensary sale and I bought CBD to stockpile. We walked through the holiday fair and saw all the booths and displays. Lots of visiting along the way followed by a pint of agate at Port O’ Pints and a trip to the gorgeous ocean. Lovely day. Today I  have errands and shopping that I can’t put off any longer. Need basic food supplies and bill paying.  

Day 281

The holiday fair was fun. Lots of catch-up conversations and new friends too. I’m glad to be part of it. Then I grabbed up Megan and we had fish and chips while she told me about her X-Box games. I investigated the phone and made new ringtones for everybody. Today is church with Morning Prayer and I must buy groceries if I’m going to eat. I can walk okay if I don’t hurry as that angries up the leg. Life is positive connections.

Day 280

Cold wet morning that arrived early thanks to Minnie. She walked all over me at 4. Makes an extra long day. It’s the community holiday bazaar and I will be in the museum booth. It’s a fun duty as I see so many friendly faces. We sell a lot of books and ornaments with an ocean theme. That’s all the agenda for December 1. Later, another restful time with my leg healing fine. Soon it will be a memory and lesson in patience.
