This afternoon I danced. Not ballet stuff, but the exuberant dance you do that spells relief and yes, joy.
This morning? You could say I slept a lot. Oh, I was up early enough. So early that the chickens ignored my calls for breakfast. The routines were off.
Too early to eat breakfast.
And then came the sleep. First, because I had to have one of those old people procedures that required zonking you out, and later, because after the procedure you are supposed to sleep.
In truth, I do not remember much of anything that happened before noon. This is so me! Whenever they zonk me out for anything, even a tooth pulling, my memory goes by the way of the garbage pail. I take Ed along because you have to take someone and he then tells me what I missed. The one thing that I know for sure is that the day was majorly disrupted and I knew it would be and it's a lousy time of the year to schedule such disruptive stuff, but my doc and I are friends and she wanted to do this now and so I obliged. But dont ask me anything more, because I remember nothing.
Except for the fact that after all that, and after a long nap on the couch at home, I danced. Because I did think that at age 70 you have to expect tough outcomes and deal with them, but mine wasn't a tough outcome and I have to deal with nothing and this puts me in the category of people who are tremendously fortunate on all fronts and so I danced.
(Apparently I also ate breakfast because I see that I took a photo of it)
(And I seemed to have baked before picking up the kids because there are muffins on the table)
You're really not supposed to do much of anything on the day of this thing, but I take such instructions in stride. I remember once having had a colonoscopy in the morning and then teaching a class in Property that same day in the afternoon. Today's was no colonoscopy so I saw no reason not to pick up the kids at school. Sure, I'm a bit slow moving, but I am moving. Remember? I danced.
I have a pot of soup for the evening meal. No work required. Such a beautiful day!
with love...
