It was a day of successes. I walked a mile in the morning and another half mile this afternoon. Woohoo! My back is ‘tired’ tonight and my right knee is giving me fits, but nevertheless, it felt really good to be able to walk that far.
My second success was that I finally got busy filing away papers that have been piling up in the dining room. I’m far from done, but if I stay at it tomorrow, I could have the job done. Again, it felt so good to make progress, in this case, on something I have procrastinated doing since September.
Heather and family leave for Vermont tomorrow for winter school vacation week. Yesterday when I went to Whole Foods in Hyannis, they had the biggest artichokes I have ever seen, and I just had to buy them. I didn’t know when I bought them if the Goldstones had plans for dinner tonight. So, I was relieved when I found out they would welcome artichokes for their vacation send off dinner. Since my big pot that I would normally cook them is being held hostage at Heather’s until my back can once again handle something that heavy, I took the artichokes there.
And now I am off to bed as I can hardly keep my eyes open.
