The First Sunday in August

For the last few days I have been feeling not ill exactly but just not well. Everything seemed to be an effort. I had planned to do a big grocery-shop today but at about 10 am, i knew I couldn’t do it and went back to bed. I woke at 2 pm feeling absolutely normal! It was so weird. It was if someone had waved a magic wand and I was back to normal. I went out to buy groceries {yes, I am referring to the groceries that have been on my to-do list for several days } and came back with not as much as I had intended because since it was late in the afternoon, but enough for a while.

Tomorrow is a day with nothing on the calendar so one thing I have to do is to clean the kitchen. It is not as if it is dirty, but for the few days I have been not well. apparently I could put nothing away!  Every surface is cluttered up with something! When I came in with the groceries this afternoon I added to the mess by only putting away food that needed to go in the refrigerator or the freezer. Everything else was just dumped on the counter! I am quite looking forward to tidying up and to having a normal kitchen tomorrow!

Tuesday is physical therapy which reminds me that during the days when I was feeling not up to par although I did my basic leg and hip exercises, I found it very hard to keep my body straight. As I result, I caught myself lurching rather than walking and my back suffered because of it. But when I got up at 2 pm this afternoon, my posture was good, my left leg felt strong and I walked around the store with no problem.

Anyway, it is 10 pm and I am off to bed.
