Sunday

Today is wonderful, and it's still before 1 pm. Sleeping in until 8, waking up feeling terrific, just enjoying a lovely day. We went to Braum's for an ice cream cone this afternoon, and I can still taste orange sherbet. Demeter, of course, got the empty cone.

I've done a couple of loads of laundry, read a couple of stories, listened to a golf tournament, and spent time curled up in a huge chair planning my upcoming week.

Later I may cook dinner. There is leftover red beans and rice along with a pot of homemade chili. Perhaps I'll just make a pan of cornbread and we can just heat up what we want.

I'm looking forward to a week where I feel healthy and happy.

This has been the first weekend that I've felt good in such a long time. I finally grocery shopped for the first time since mid-June. I was just too ill to attempt it. And yes, it did wear me out but in a good way. Still it feels great to be out shopping. The fridge and cupboards are stocked. That frees me up to concentrate on other things. This week I will once again see my occupational therapist, learning new ways to maneuver around the kitchen. Also, I will see my shrink for the first time in over a month this week. I miss getting her take on things.

This year has been so hard. My sight is worse, I've been ill for quite awhile. Mom and Dad died 13 weeks apart. The crap goes on and on. I haven't mourned, it's just too hard with everything going on. At some point it will knock me on my butt, I already know that. Something else to deal with when it happens.

Enough for now.....
