Saturday

It's a day of recovery for me: I do get tired after vaccinations and having had a vaccination yesterday -- boing!!! I'm tired. Ed did the morning walk to feed the animals and I slept in until 10, and after that, I napped! 

Talk about mimicking the habits of an old person! And, too, how quickly your ambitions can change in the space of a week: just seven days ago, my Fitbit was bouncing with congratulatory messages as I zipped past 20 000 steps each day. Today, I didn't even hit a 1000. (This has been my lowest step count since I purchased the darn guilt machine.)

So what thoughts run through your head on days when you are recovering? Of course, these days, Ed and I spend a lot of time talking about the crisis in the Ukraine. We tend not to read the same literature on the subject and at breakfast me share nuggets of information and of course, we speculate about what comes next. That's a given. I'm sure you do the same (or at least give this more than a passing thought). One has to. It's like the pandemic: you can't hide from certain realities. At the same time, you have to return to your own future and think in more mundane terms about what groceries to buy and what to do on your spring break vacation. I have mine all planned out (both groceries and spring vacation)! But I attended to tweaks this afternoon, after I poured a gallon of coffee into me so that I would stay awake until it was time to really go to sleep!

You could point fingers at me and call my day one of great laziness. Don't you think that "recovery" sounds better? Outside, we are having one of the final days of really cold weather. Inside -- I'm on the couch and proud of it! (Here's a fact: I think this is my first day since moving here that I did not leave the farmhouse at all. At all!)

But tomorrow, I will regroup and move forward. See you then!
