Day 350

It was good to get to the center. Lots of conversations with different people. I didn’t bundle up and walk in the wind. Just didn’t have the energy. Actually, I took a nap with three dogs on my lap. Today is messy outside and my only outing will be to get a massage with Sarah. There are plenty of inside jobs and I’m guessing I can ignore them. If there is any kind of break, I’ll go out and pull weeds.

Day 349

Two walks yesterday and I will get out today between showers. Senior center duty today and I’m looking forward to it. I didn’t talk out loud yesterday. I’m not lonely but I do need people after a few days alone. I needed a complete day off, no nagging at myself about exercise and overeating. Even though I get out of control now and then, I am healthy and doing well.  Today I will talk to Amanda about our elder circle program.

Day 348

Went to the store yesterday just to get out. Endless rain and days to come before a break. When I was driving home, the odometer turned over 60K miles in my 19 year old car. I bought the van while I was taking care of my mother and she had a problem getting in and out of the Neon. Her walker and then her wheel chair fit easily in the van. I decided to keep it as long as I’m driving.  

Day 347

Another day inside with a week of rain coming. It’s easy to get sluggish without any sun or outdoor exercise. Rosie brought more information for our program and now we need to get a group and find out if it works. I’m ready to get busy with it. After while I’ll look for a project inside. I’m in a purging mood and anything that hasn’t moved in a year better look out. Simplifying makes life easier and I’m all for that. 

Day 346

Six of us for story group and it was warm and comfortable. I enjoy the group so much. This morning Rosie and I will have a breakfast meeting about our elder circles and plan what’s next. We need to run our plan by the director at the senior center as we want to use the conference room. There are other spaces such as the church hall. I’m anxious to get started. May not get a walk in the rain and wind.

Day 345

Another week of wet. The groundhog went back to sleep. I filled the green bin yesterday with weeds and dead branches from the front hedge. I saw lots of the bulbs poking up and one flowering tree on my walk. Today I hope to get out for a short walk between showers after senior center duty and before the writing/story group meets at 3. I enjoy the stories and still haven’t been able to comb through my memory for interesting events.

Day 344

Physical energy did not match with ideas yesterday. I did walk and look for signs of spring. There are some greens poking up and that’s encouraging. Now it’s February and the agenda needs updating. I want another volunteer duty. When I have nothing to do, I do less around here. Guess I’m still a multi-tasker at heart. I am using the rebounder when I don’t get outside. It’s exercise. Not the same exercise that I get with the physical therapy routine.
