Sunday's Surprises

Well, I had a pretty good nights sleep last night, I did not have an over abundance of energy, but at least I felt pretty good. I had decided not to try to go to church this morning given how I had felt for the last few days.

So after eating breakfast and reading the paper, I went outside and weeded a little along side the driveway. I think I only spent about a half hour doing that, but I was really tired, so I went inside and sat down for a while. Kathleen had made some banana, strawberry, blueberry and yogurt smoothies, so I had that and then took a nap.

After resting for a while I went back outside and transplanted a few rose bushes to the back rose garden and did a little more weeding by the back door. Again I could feel myself getting really tired, so I went back inside and rested again.

After another short nap, I got up and made myself a corn-beef sandwich on dark rye bread. I used some sweet and sour mustard and it gave it a really nice flavor. After resting for a short while, I went back outside and edged the driveway (both sides), and then finished weeding the area by the back door.

Again I could feel myself running out of steam, so I cleaned up and put all the tools away and went inside and got cleaned up. After resting some more, I asked Kathleen if she was planning on doing anything for dinner, so a while later she came down and made some Mexican rice and stir-fried some chicken, beans, onions, garlic and sesame seeds. It was really good, I could have eaten some more, but I am trying to eat less.

Well, I spent a lot of time resting today, it was a nice day, and after a rather cool morning it finally warmed up and was really pleasant to work outside. I feel a lot more tired than I think I should, but I guess that is to be expected when one does not feel well to begin with.

Tomorrow morning I go see my surgeon, or at least I hope I am well enough to go, last week I thought that I was feeling okay until that morning and then I really felt sick. Well, I guess this is if for tonight, so good night!
