It's one of those beautiful days weather wise here today....and the day is mine to enjoy as I wish. No urgent anything to be done or needing my attention.
The postman brought me two gifts today, a book and a present. The book is the next one on my Transworld book challenge list, a big thick paperback that seems like it will be a cracking good read. The other thing is a pretty biscornu made for me by Agi who lives in Sweden. It's pale blue fabric with a pretty variegated coral thread. It has a lovely meaningnful message on it. It is always amazing to receive a gift, especailly when someone has gone to the bother of making it specifically for you. Thanks again, Agi.
My studying is going okay, I'm learning a lot already and remembering even more. It might be interesting for me to re-read this a year from now and see how I feel then......(note
to self???
I feel that I have let myself down big time by gaining back all the weight I'd taken off - about a stone overall. It feels awful, I can feel every ounce of it. It isn't earth shattering or of world importance. Actually it isn't all that important to me right now. I don't like it but can't be worrying about it. I have been through a period of transition for a while. I don't like the unknown at all. I want to be in control always - and I do know and understand why I'm that way. I have no reason to change that part of me just now. But my clothes aren't as comfortable anymore. Ah well, one more thing to deal with gently. I say gently because I'm not going to be hard on myself over this. What is the point? So many other things are falling into place wonderfully. I want to enjoy the rest of this ride.
I have been feeling pretty good - when I take my meds. I have to be regular with the pain ones to keep it at bay. But like so many others, as soon as I feel great I forget to take them and the pain begins to build again. That, I suspect, is human nature. The pain reminds me go get back on board. Over all it's pretty good. With my walker I can go a couple miles easily although the pain in my hips can get pretty bad by then. My shoulders and neck don't hurt though so it's a winner for me. And I can go faster than without it. Yippee do dah, freedom feels great.
