Heavy Clouds
Intermittent sun but the clouds trump it. This weekend promises nice weather.
This morning was my first PT session with Mike T. He was sure the hamstrings would be doable. An elbow in the correct spot can do more good to release nerve endings and bound muscles than any tennis ball. The best solution going forward . . . keep moving. Being sedentary is the worst.
I had even found during these last weeks that adjusting my sewing table to its maximum height and standing while attaching the hoop for embroidery module worked better than sitting at the machine. Thanks for Kevin’s advice and Dennis’ shopping spree I have that capability of height adjustment with the sewing table. Ironically, when I visited the Bernina shop last week, Amanda had several of the same tables in the store that had been purchased at Home Depot. A wise purchase for a reasonable investment. No vibration makes the table ideal.
I had been walking every day down Stauffer to the east. Today, after I had gotten tuned up at the first sessions of PT, I took a second walk. Taking long strides felt good. Not using the cane 100% but rather taking each end of the cane in each hand and working it to the right and left in opposite to the step I was taking. In case of a misstep the cane can come down for the rubber to meet the gravel for full stability faster than a gnat can blink.
There were a few potatoes in the garage that begged to be used. The peeled potatoes after they had been boiled will make great American fries combined with onion slices. A pound package of hamburger meat allowed for two formed patties to be put in the freezer for future use, while we have two done up for supper. It always is satisfying to know what will be served for supper before five in the afternoon. At five in the afternoon when nothing has been planned . . . I feel like a deer in the headlights.
All that is remaining for me in the kitchen is to whip up a batch of thin powdered sugar glaze to put over the six scones I had baked out earlier. One a day for Dennis . . . I am off the hook until a week from today.
How on earth did I ever have time to hold down a full time job! I am pretty sure the days have gotten shorter in conjunction to my stamina becoming less. What the heck! Where am I going! I keep appointments and I remember what day of the week it is. It is a win, win.
