Getting back to normal? One step at a time

 This last week has been a busy one and wonderfully fun but super tiring as well. I did so much gadding around and doing stuff I wore my self out but in a very good way. It was so nice to be able to go and do a few of the things that used to be everyday routine, it was like a breath of fresh air.

It started on Thursday, I had an appointment with my podiatrist for my regular hoof trimming. The Banker kindly took me and then when we got home, she stayed and we cleaned my laundry room. That would be the royal "we", where I sit and mostly direct the keep, donate, toss operation and she does the lion's share of the work. Its so wonderful to have that little room beaten into shape.

Friday I went to No Cook for the first time in months. What a treat!! Out in the real world with my friends and seeing other people. Don\t get me wrong I like being at home and I have by no means been pining away feeling sorry for myself because I have not really gone anywhere that was not medical related since the first of December. I am most happy at home, especially when it is this deeply bone chillingly cold. Plus even though they say its no trouble, I realize that dealing with me and my walker is a pain.





This weekend we did a scrapbooking weekend. Three days of scrapbooking fun with some good friends was just what I needed. I cannot tell you how much I enjoy this and how grateful I am that these wonderful ladies include me. The Banker especially because she does the majority of the lifting and the hauling. Scrapbooking is not a light portable hobby. Its all really heavy and you need so much stuff to work with. 

We did the usual Chinese food supper when the weekend was over then I came home. I sat in my recliner and promptly fell asleep. Best Friend called and I nodded off in the middle of the conversation. Rude!  She kindly ended the conversation and I thought I really should go upstairs as I was so tired. I would just sit there for a couple of moments and then I would go. Next thing I knew it was 4:00 in the morning and I had not moved. I just stayed there for the rest of the night. Too weary to make the climb but very happy for having had such a good weekend.

Now its back to the normal routine. I have Busy's mitts to finish and a list of other crafts that are waiting my attention. Life is good.

Toodles, Linda
