goal: wash linens
Today was exhausting! (I already know that I will not be doing much movement tomorrow.) Today, I stripped my bed and washed all the linen, not to mention I finished up another load of towels and sheets that were still in the washer. Moving those items back and forth with the walker was no easy feet. I worked to get the stuff cleaned because Mama Acey (my best friend's mom...aka...my second mom) was coming over to make my bed and deliver some groceries. (I feel guilty not being able to do some things, so I work hard to help when/how I can, but if I am no careful, I exhaust myself in the process.)
Once I stripped the bed, I laid all the new linen out so she would have easy access to everything. When she arrived, she was like, "sit down!" Everyone knows how difficult it is for me to ask for help. (The b-word (burden) still haunts me.) When everything was finished, we had an enjoyable visit, which was complete when my God-Father came over with seafood and pizza. Talk about a variety of food! His stories and antics about past relationships kept us laughing for a couple of hours. At 69 years of age, he has had a very colorful life experience.
It has been three hours since they left and after taking a much needed shower, I am now reflecting on what has been a delightful day. I did not record anything today, but I did listen to music this morning and while showering. I promise myself to inject music in my life everyday.
