A Welcome Wednesday

I did get to bed early last night and when I woke up this morning I felt pretty good so I decided to go for my wake. I kept thinking that I would go for a walk sometime yesterday, but it never happened.

Anyway, I walked for about an hour and a half this morning and got a little over two bags of trash from around the high school, most of it was out of the parking lots. The fact that most of it came from the parking lots is kind of ironic as the parking lots have several garbage cans and sometimes the trash is only a few feet from the cans...oh well, go figure!

It has been nice and cool in the morning now, so I was not too worn out or sweaty when I got back. I was going to have cereal this morning, but then I saw the leftover pancakes from yesterday so I decided to just warm them up and have them along with a veggie sausage.

Since there were only four little pancakes, not quite silver dollar size, but only about two inches in diameter, and I knew that Kathleen would not be eating them, I decided to just finish them off. I put my Smart Beat spread on them before I micro waved them and that helped soften them up so that they did not taste any worse than frozen waffles or pancakes.

After I finished eating I emptied the dishwasher, I made myself some coffee and then went into the living room to read the paper. By the time I finished the paper it was nice and sunny out, so I went outside and got my rake and raked the front lawn. It is amazing how fast the leaves are falling now that the nights have a little chill to them.

Once I had the lawn raked, I got out my little Brill and mowed our front lawn and then my neighbor's front and side lawn. By this time the battery was getting pretty worn out, so I put the mower away and put the battery on the charger. Kathleen had gone to the doctor's so her SUV was not in the driveway, so I got out my leaf blower and blew off the driveway.

By the time I had gotten to the front yard I was amazed at the number of leaves that had fallen in just a little under an hour. So I took the leaf blower to them and blew them into the gravel shoulder of the street.

Then I put everything away and went inside and rested for a while. After getting my energy back I made myself some lunch, I had a can of sardines and a couple slices of dark rye bread. One has to get in their Omega 3 somehow.

Kathleen came home and had stopped by Fred Meyer's and picked up a salmon roast and some fruit. So I had thought that we would be having salmon for dinner tonight. Kathleen had planned that as well but got started too late for us to have dinner ready before 2000 tonight, so she made a chicken salad on put that on some Kaiser roles. She also cut up an avocado, a mango and topped it off with a couple lemon slices.

So tomorrow we will be having salmon...it sure smelled good tonight though! Well, that was my day, I am feeling much better than I did Sunday afternoon and Monday, so hopefully even when I do get those spells like I had earlier this week they will not last long.

Over the last three weeks, I have only had one and a half days where I did not feel "good". I hate to say good, because my good today is not the same as my good a year or so ago, but it is really good compared to how I have felt for the last eight months.

Well, I think that it is time for me to say good night and call it a day. I was complaining to Kathleen earlier that I did not feel like I got that much done for as tired as I was, and she asked me just how much would you have to do to feel like you did enough? I really could not answer her, because I am probably getting done as much as could be expected for what I have been through, but for me it is not enough. I guess that I just need to not expect as much out of myself as I do, but that will take so time to overcome.

Well, good night again!
