Day 218

Today the senior news gets distributed around town. I enjoy the route. I took the senior center and CCIM papers yesterday. The dogs like riding around with me and barking. They are the car alarm. I will walk first and add lots of walking later. Megan’s one year anniversary as assistant manager at tin can mailman. She is in a good place emotionally too. I hope she hears from HSU soon and can begin to plan for her future.

day 217

     

Monday again. I enjoyed church yesterday. I am connected to the community and to all that means. Kelle sounds better after the week of her Grandmother’s funeral. She had a weekend away to begin her new life. Today I will begin the day with a walk, clean up for duty, and be ready to have a good day. I have ideas popping and recognize that I don’t want to initiate any new projects and I do want to participate.

Day 216

I have a nutritious bounty from the farmers’ market. Two great walks although I will admit to walking home from the market in granny gear. It’s OK. I was out and walking. Hope to repeat walks today after church. Just a few mundane items: water the orchids and give them a pep talk about growing stems of beauty, clean the hot tub filter, and pull a few weeds from the rose garden. It will be a another good day.

Day 215

So, yesterday was flat. It’s OK. About once a week I need a day off. A while back I had short days where my energy was gone before noon. A busy week that went into the evening is wonderful and I am grateful that my restoration is allowing me to interact more often and with enjoyment. Today I will walk, long and steady, do a few errands, and go to the farmers’ market too. My journal wants a doodle.

Day 214

It was a long and productive day. I was ready to sleep at 8:30 and promptly went off to dreamland. Until 2:30. No more sleeping. Today the senior news will arrive. I will not distribute them until next Tuesday, the 30^th. I’m hoping for a quiet day  and may need a nap. The reclaimed energy is wonderful. Full days with people and activity is the way I want to live my life. I know I am restoring my body.

Day 213

I did walk yesterday and came home dripping wet to the skin. Loved it. Smiled all day. Mara arrived and we prepared for tonight’s dinner at the church. She is great. I’m so happy that I asked her to stay here. Today, when I get home from the senior center duty, we will glean apples from the church tree and then visit the labyrinth next door. We had a long walk this morning and now I’m ready for anything.

Day 212

Gitlin’s plan flopped and we were happy that his toadies didn’t show. People are beginning to see who he is. The massage with Karen was wonderful. Today is the last day of museum duty. I will not go back in the spring. I’m through. The streets are shiny and the gutters are full. The air is fresh and warm. May not get a walk as much as I’d like to or I may bundle up and enjoy the storm.
