On Sunday morning Bonnie came over with Braxton and Brooklyn to play and hang out. It was toy city here in my house. I took Braxton with me to buy groceries and what a fun little shopping partner he is. He held the list and the pen and helped me mark off as we got our items. We got home and I whipped up some chicken salad for lunch.
Monday rolled around and I knew after being out of the office on Friday, the email would be scarey. It was ... didn't disappoint me there. But the glitch that had been in my email for three weeks was fixed and I raised my hands in praise for that. (As I always say ... if something is out of whack in your world, look around and you will find a positive somewhere) We use Google mail at work and some how the IT guys has mine feed in to Outlook which I prefer, plus all my files are there. I started the week off with a headache and stiff neck and shoulders which carried over in to Tuesday. By the evening the stiffness was gone and today was a better day in that respect. I ended up staying an hour late today in order to get some of the things done that I needed to do. It was one of those days that every time you looked up someone needed something that was not necessarily in your plan for the day. Unplanned things sure makes for an interesting day though.
Tonight after dinner (taco salad and Rotel cheese dip), Madelyn and I went for a one mile walk. It makes me kinda sad when I realize that my physical condition is not what it used to be ... pre-chemo. Walking one mile is sometimes a struggle even though I try to walk a half mile every day at work. Maybe it was the heat that caused some of the struggle ... at least the wind was blowing. And now when I get in the sun and get really hot, my skin feels like it has a zillion needles sticking in it .. making it prickly and sting and itch all at the same time. What that's all about ... I have no clue.
The yard guy came today ... probably the last time for the year and tonight I'm watering some. My ground is so hard that I don't see how any of my grass is living but it is. I really need to start preparing my raised beds for lettuce planting but the heat is still here and I just don't want to get outside much. I need to decorate for fall also and haven't gotten that done. If you've ever wondered if there's life after a cancer diagnosis ... there is. I feel good and I'm staying busy ... hence the reason some of these things aren't getting done. Oh well ... everything in it's own time.
Today I read the neatest quote ... I walk down memory lane because I love running into you.
I hope your week is going well ... would love to hear from you.
Blessed and praying blessings for you.
