daily

My son and daughter-in-law gave me Nancy Guthrie’s daily reading book : a year of hope (I think that’s correct). I found comforting, encouraging, thoughtful, challenging…

Trying to figure out better access to medical care !
Went to my garden box and picked couple lemon cucumber and couple small tomatoes.
Shared some fruit and veggies with someone else 😜.

Practiced self care part of the day to prepare working on phone issues again. Don't understand all this tech stuff .
Just ate last of my homemade split pea soup, tastes even better on second day.
I have a friend coming over Sunday afternoon whose mom just got cancer diagnosis. Very tough time for my friend who's going to online college classes for social worker. I want to be able to help her through this. I need good thoughts for both my friend and her mom. As a cancer survivor I'm going to need positive energy to help them .

Took a good walk early morning to several places and scored on coupons. Our weather in my part of Oregon is abnormally calm and fairly dry. Allowing me to get things done on my weekends even with out my caregiver.
Drinking coffee with coconut milk and brown sugar for an awesome latte.
I connected with someone last night that awesome in her story. Brought tears of joy n pain cuz so much rang true. for me.

Total confusion of appts and other things due to the holiday. Too many people taking extra days off further messing up my schedule.
My caregiver and I made potatoes n ham n cheese dish in the oven . We went for a good walk late today. Been pretty cold last few days and nights. Lots of thick fog!
My MH peer support person is back from vacation tomorrow so we meet and walk to store to check Lucky Number Tuesday. I've won something 3 times since October. Best prize was a salad shooter machine. Makes some chores of meal prep much quicker. Grated a block of parmesan cheese 🧀 little bit ago. Still have my knuckles 🤣.
Distraction was a good tool for me today. It helps me manage among the stress and anxiety sometimes.

So glad it's Friday night and no obligations next two days. Finish healing my achy feet.
Went to my art group this morning and it was a great relief, change of pace. Finished a cat picture I've been coloring on for several weeks.
She looks great in her new colors!
Took care of some big phone calls
I'm going to practice self care thru the
Weekend.

Thanks for being here 🙂😊.

today.

Very cool morning but SUN came to visit. My caregiver and I went to my appointment then some errands, one to a special bakery- Liberated Bakery. Gluten Free baked goods! I save up bottle money from residents in my building just to buy my treats.
We came home and got busy cooking Spanish rice, and meatloaf.
I got a turkey 🦃 for the holiday but too much for me so I gave it to my caregiver. She's cooking for many people.

I'm finally feeling better after getting back on medication that was stopped to aid in my booster vaccine working better but I got horribly sick with chronic pain in my feet joints to the point of not being able to walk .
I'm back in action!

One Word to Mantra

Back up and running 😀. Feet still hurting but not nearly as much and was given some good sleep last night!
We had a beautiful fall day of sun and then haze. No rain!
I walked to two stores and coffee shop before 9am today. Rested for quite awhile. Cleaned out some old stuff to garbage and recycling. Listening to sports on TV then lights out.
