Today I am most grateful for yesterday. I tried some new thangs yesterday. I tried just getting up and moving around, sweeping, putting thangs away, etc. I tried returning to the routine of coffee, spiritual readings and meditation. I decided the recliner was the enemy, not my friend. After sweeping the house I got my first visitor, Lisa Larkin. She came by to drop off a big ass heating pad. She hoped it might help with the pain. We had a pleasant chat while I ate my peanut butter toast and ginger ale. After she left, Cindy Hand arrived. She brought me my favorite junk food, an Egg McMuffin. I took off the cheese side and ate the whole thang. (I usually Love cheese but we are not friendly these days). After making sure that was going to stay down we planned our day. We worked for 6 hours doing chores. Honestly what we accomplished I could have done in two hours when I was healthy, but it still felt great. Cat came by several times because her washer broke, so she was doing her laundry at my house. On one of her last visits she couldnt find us in the house. She came out to the barn and the look on her face was priceless when she realized that we had been working all day. I was mainly parked in a chair guiding Cindy through thangs, but thangs were getting done! I was wrapping up the last of what we could do when Amanda arrived. She was doing a drive by to make sure all the critters were bedded down for the night. She came into the snake room with the biggest grin on her face. Cindy and I then proceeded to Mom and Dads for dinner and a movie. That all went quite well too. Cindy took me home and tucked me in, making sure I had all that I needed. (New heating pad plugged in, phone charged, water, ginger ale, etc.) I settled in to watch the new show Librarians. I drifted in and out of sleep through the two-hour show. Ill have to watch all that over when Im more awake, but I think Im going to like it. After that I SLEPT! I slept straight through until 5:46 am. I told Cindy on the way home that I didnt know what I had done to get up and do thangs but I was going to do these same thangs today. So far so good. I wish I could tell you that Im in less pain, Im not. I woke up with a raging headache. The good news is that it is ibuprofen time. I alternate between that and Tylenol. The ibuprofen always seems to cuts the pain better. This morning as I was fighting the temptation to crawl back into the recliner, I just had to close my eyes and picture Cats, Amandas or Cindys face to motivate me to keeping moving. Cindy is coming over again today to see what we can get done and I couldnt be more excited. Thank you all!
