Day 331

Amazing how good the smallest meaningful activity feels after a month of slow and unwell days. I actually walked to the store and brought home four items that I needed. I’m on the way back to my usual healthy state. Today I want more and will remember that I had two relapses because of eagerness to be well. Rain is coming and I want to work outside today. Always lots to do in the yard, The joy of home ownership! Onward and upward.

Day 330

The doc says my vision is stable and the surgery isn’t necessary. I need new glasses. These are four years old so a change will help. I came home with a headache that didn’t go away. A nap didn’t give me back energy to fill the agenda. Hoping to get moving  and feel like doing all the errands and shopping I need. Had a good visit with Megan. I like her work stories and keeping up with her studies for the CPA exam.

Day 329

10K steps yesterday! First time in 2019. I’m slow but I kept going as I want my normal routine again. This morning I see Dr. E, and have my eyes dilated for the once a year thorough exam. He will recommend surgery and I will ask a ton of questions because I want to know how many trips to Ashland are involved. It’s not manageable now. Groceries next and then fill the green bin with weeds. Time to plant seeds in the greenhouse.

Day 328

Two walks yesterday and better than the day before. That’s all I’m asking is improvement. Today I will go to museum to firm up the visit by the writing group for research. I have asked them to have a county background in their stories.  Most of them have not been to the museum so we will start with a tour. I want to get out in the yard and take advantage of the dry spell to get weeds down and prune the trees.

Day 327

I didn’t get to the farm but did drive the car on the highway to warm it up. The class was remarkable. They just gobble up the new ideas and off they go. Next week we’ll work on character sketches and writing dialogue. I was tired and shaky afterward. I simply am not regrouping my energy and it bothers me to quit before I’m ready. Today after church, I am planning to walk and rest. I need my simple routine and more sunshine.

Day 326

My duty only lasted two hours and I had to come home. It was okay as there were few visitors. I had to sink into the comfort zone and rest yet again. Later I had a walk around the block. I want my energy back. I want to resume my activities. The lesson plan for the writing group is from prompts. I look forward to meeting with them. Maybe I’ll go to Ocean air farm stand this morning. I like their fresh produce,

Day 325

The stories were wonderful, enjoyable, stimulating  and what I love is the vast differences in how we answer the prompts. Yesterday I had a walk, met Linda Lee and had a great conversation about church and Mary Oliver. I loaned her a book of favorite poems. Cleaned out the greenhouse and planted lettuce seeds. It felt good in there with the sun on it. Maybe the seeds will have enough warmth to sprout. Long e-mail from Angela that I will answer this morning.
