Day 126

Must get to PT this morning. It’s been a week since I did the exercises and I lose muscle tone fast. I enjoy feeling muscles and good posture. I have a few errands and that’s it for the agenda. I’m missing my paper journal. Today I will recap June and get back to daily posts. Seems like I haven’t written daily since last August when the sheriff read my journal and the stuff around that. Time to get over it.

Day 125

Yesterday the stumps were pulled and now the new fence project can get underway. Chuck and Hollie will be home on Wednesday and will come and measure on Thursday. Today is damp outside. It is refreshing. Everything is so dry that people are praying for rain. Imagine that in Del Norte County. Today, after a walk, I will go for Senior Center duty. I enjoyed the break and know that I am content staying home.  The bale garden is flourishing.

Day 124

I bought a cookie at the market and came home to stay for the day. I like being here in my home and yard. Today I have Sunday activities: water the orchids, walk, church, and feel gratitude for my life. The country is celebrating gay rights, Obama care, and what both of those Supreme Court decisions mean to so many who have felt disenfranchised. My president made a heartfelt eulogy that I watched over and over and cried every time. 

Day 123

Yes, all the papers were out before noon! Tired, sore body again. Left-over from the marathon weeding day. Later I confronted John about his son’s use of my fence line and that I was not waiting any longer for action. John moved the rusty car parts and now I want him to do the promised removal of the stumps. I can’t get a new fence until that is done. Today I will walk and end up at the farmers’ market.

Day 122

I stayed home all day and poked around doing sorting and cleaning small things. I did sweep the garage and wash the windows in the guest house. I found a box full of stuff that guests have left for me and will take them to the senior center for their recycled gift shop. Today I want a walk and exercise. If senior news shows up, I will distribute it as I want the papers out early. Kathy likes my column. 

Day 121

I connected with the daily bread guys yesterday and smiled as they took away about a ton of unwanted green stuff. Now my job is to keep it clean so I don’t get overwhelmed again. I am tired and sore this morning and it’s worth it to know how much I can do. Sheila cleaned the guest house and it looks great. I’m thinking about staying home from the senior center today. A break from routine is a good thing.

Day 120

Kelle reminded me that I hadn’t blogged yet.  I am full of yard energy and have been pulling weeds and cutting bushes down since 6:30! I have a considerable pile of green stuff that needs to go to the transfer station. Now, find someone to transport it. May call recology and find out how much it would cost to have them  get it. Karen finally has a boot for her broken foot. Terrible story about our broken health care system.
