Busy, Busy
I’ve been really busy preparing to spend several days in the hospital and returning home to be confined for a while. I’ve stocked up on staples, and bought some decent looking nightwear. Now I’m working on getting toiletries together to take with me. I need to get my little suitcase out of the storage room down the street.
While I’m running around on these errands, I’ve been enjoying the colorful trees all around King City. The leaves will probably be gone when I get back home. Last evening, when I returned from swimming, dozens of noisy geese were passing overhead. They go over twice a day, but I rarely see or hear them.
In the last week, I’ve spent hours removing myself from email subscriptions, many of which I don’t remember signing up for. Now my email box is pretty empty. However, a couple of emails from sisters and one from a niece yesterday kept me from getting lonesome. And, of course, there’s always Facebook or, if all else fails, linking up with LinkedIn.
For a long time, I’ve gone through an exercise several times daily where I try to decide what to eat. Most of the time, I don’t feel like eating much so I think about what will give me the biggest bang for the smallest amount. Once in a while, after swimming, I’m actually hungry and that’s a nice feeling. However, I still have to decide what to do about it. At least I no longer have to keep in mind any other person’s allergies, likes and dislikes. If I live ten more years or so, I may learn to make stir-fry and casseroles for one. I can save left-over casserole dishes, but stir-fry loses oomph when reheated.
Until this surgery came up, my problems were mostly those listed above.
