Doing better
Not necessarily LOTS better, but a definite improvement. I had to walk the dog at 7 am, then made coffee for my father and went back to bed. At 10 am, I got up again and made breakfast for folks, then took my father off to get his new Rx and have his drain removed. Home again, made then lunch, then took myself off to the seaside park I enjoy for a brisk walk and hopefully a swim.
Alas, the bridge to the beach is being rebuilt, so no swim in the Gulf, but a stunningly beautiful afternoon to walk all along the park, on crushed shell paths under pine and palm trees dripping with Spanish moss. Then I sat and read my new Haiku book beside the water in the sun. Very, very restorative.
Many thanks to all of you who wrote sympathetic or excellent advisory answers to my last post. Sorry to be so rant-y and sorry for myself in it -- but thank you for all the patting on the head. (Except for FaveCuz, who just laughed hysterically. Although she did call this morning and make soothing and sarcastic noises - which has the great benefit of being familiar and entirely warranted.)
