I am in one of those "moods" today. Kind of iffy, kind of what if, kind of passive, in other words just in that "kind of _____" mood!! To start out I am thankful for so much. Terry is great, my kids are super, the grand kids are wonderful and the list goes on. I guess yesterday started this. I had flown back to St. Paul on Tuesday to look for a picture for the cover of the book. I didn't find it and was a bit discouraged. There was another picture I would liked to have had and that was not a good choice. So I was up in the air as to what picture to use and how to get an old picture up to the standards LuLu wants in a cover picture. At our Villia party Wednesday RL, who is a professional photographer, was there. I talked to him at length and he offered to take a picture and work with it. Terry and I took several pictures over to his house last Thursday to see what he would say. We settled on one picture and he told us why he thought it is ideal! Yesterday he stopped over with the prints and I think it turned out GREAT. He then e-mailed me the file so all I had to do was forward the file to LuLu which I did this morning. He would not take anything for doing the work but said he would be delighted to get a book. DONE As I said I am thankful for many things.
My "what if mood" is related to my right leg. I am starting to wonder if it is going to get better. I think I have started to walk with a favor to my right side which is NOT a good thing. Maybe I need more tennis? I played last Thursday and did OK. I will play again tomorrow and Wednesday. We will see if it works. Sometimes it feels fine and then it aches the next hour. These are the "golden years" right??
On the plus side I have been able to get a bit more sleep. Yesterday I did not wake up until 7:20 and today it was 6:10. I would enjoy sleeping until 7:30 or so but the last couple days have been a lot better than 4 and 5 AM.
No, this is about enough. I have been swimming to see if that helps my leg and I need to get over to the pool. I think there is some person who is turning up the temp of the pool. Two days ago I went and the water was 94---way too hot. I turned the temp down and yesterday it still was 90. We have been having warm weather so the sun does heat it up in the afternoon but------to swim in a warm warm pool is not even refreshing.
We still have not decided when to leave here for MN. I am not sure I want to take in national parks with a gimpy leg but maybe we should and I will be fine. Perhaps I am getting to the point of being wimpy and weak!! I am almost beginning to think the term "golden years" refers to needing gold to pay for therapy!!
FP is GONE. Swimming pool, here I come.
