Today's Journal
My aim for the afternoon is simply "to be". Call me Mellow Yellow, quite rightly. I'll do my tasks, but I'm not going to stress about doing them perfectly.
At 6:15 am I got up (a bit late). I took Tickles out to the backyard on her flexi-lead because there has been skunks around the neighbourhood recently. Then I made coffee for myself and fed her.
At 7:00 am I got Dennis's morning meds ready and brought them up to him, took Tickles for a walk at the cemetery, came home and made breakfast for Dennis.
At 9:00 am the physiotherapist came to the house for 30 minutes. We had a chat and he watched Dennis walk and asked a few questions. Then he said this was going to be his last visit because there's really not anything more that he can do for Dennis. He wished us well and said that he hopes that Dennis can continue to keep walking up and down the stairs for as long as possible.
At 10:00 am I drove over to Hartzell Road. I had to return an item to Home Hardware, then I went grocery shopping at Food Basics. Came home, put the food away, made Dennis a cup of tea and gave home a donut.
At 11:00 I got Dennis's morning meds ready again, caught up on some paperwork, started another load of laundry, etc.
By Noon I already had over 5000 steps. And today has been a light day. My To-Do List is huge, but this afternoon I'm going to try NOT to stress about it.
Day 9 - Declutter dresser drawers.
