Much to accomplish...

Today I transplanted my Vanilla Orchid, Key Lime Tree and Magnolia Fig Tree. Along with doing laundry and cleaning the kitchen, I feel as though I've done more than enough.

My back is better, I'm taking half a pain pill when I go to sleep because it spasms when I roll over. Feels great to have most of the pain gone. Sleeping is helping with the healing process.

I anticipate a terrific week. There are a lot of things to do, not just taking care of the house, but also things to challenge and entertain me. I like having things to do. It sure beats sitting in a rocker listening to "judge shows" all day. My body feels better when there are projects, and I can see just how much I can do without sight. When I can adapt and do things I am happy. When I can't do things I try to figure out how to do whatever it is anyway. Right or wrong, I'll still try.

If my back will let me, then I'll try to get out and ride. I miss getting out. As much as I love my home, it's very isolating to be here except for trips to the doctor's, the grocery store and an occasional meal out. I have hobbies, the phone and the Internet. What I don't have is human interaction other than seeing my Darling Husband each evening. While I love being with him and having time together I really miss being around other people. A lot. I wish I could've had time to make friends when I moved down here. As it was, I spent all of my time working until I became ill. So now, I'm lonely. I may have to join a church or something to make friends. That means I may have to become religious (argh!) and I don't want to do that.

Tonight I'm lazing around. Going back through BrocanteHome's Trash It Or Treasure It. Having just sent a large number of bags and boxes off to relatives I thought things were pretty much under control. And then I opened the Christmas closet. Having weeded it out a month or so ago I didn't think too much of it. Looking at it today is another story. 7 Christmas trees, over 20 wreaths, giant tubs of lights (all indoor) and 9 humongous tubs full of nothing but ornaments. Sheesh! So, I'm out of touch with reality when it comes to the holiday decor. Funny, a blind woman with a great big blind spot where Christmas decorating is concerned. Guess what I'll be working on over the next couple of days? Yeah, it'll be a chore. I'd rather go through it while I still have a bit of sight left, instead of trying to do it all by touch.

Enough for tonight.........
