I surprised myself by sleeping through the night. I find that most of the time if I sleep the day away, I have trouble sleeping through the next night, but not this time. It’s like I was sick. Maybe my body needed more recovery than I realized from the stresses of Wednesday.
I woke up with my head feeling a lot better. Still a little headachy, but I felt well able to go for a hike with my new hiking buddies. Today, my new friend showed me a trail that leads up to an old house where a woman lived until she was in her 80’s, alone. It’s a pretty cool house, and isn’t in terrible repair for how long it’s been vacant (6 or 7 years).
The lollipop route we took ended up at 4.20 miles on my app (I think it was different on her app). I felt like I had a good hike. There was a bit of sunshine, and then a cloud front blew in with the wind. The temps were in the 50’s, which is pretty nice for hiking uphill. My head was still giving off occasional zings of pain, but overall I was feeling good.
After I got home, I ate some lunch. And then I got the trash together. It’s been almost a month since I’ve brought trash out and while I don’t accumulate a ton of trash all by myself, it was starting to get might smelly. After the trash run, I stopped at Loveland’s and did my grocery shopping for the week. When I got home and put away my groceries, I did my exercises for the day.
I did breathing yesterday for my exercises, during one of my rare periods of wakefulness. So I started the next week’s programs today instead of yesterday. I’ll try to get day 2 tomorrow and day 3 on Monday to catch up. I might spilt it and do something formal on Wednesday. Then I made and ate dinner and spent some time relaxing.
I’m trying to be philosophical about finding out about my husband’s error on our tax return. The last one that he did. I’m wracking my brain to try and remember if I looked closely at that year’s taxes or not. Did I look or just ask him what the refund was? If I looked, did I notice the nonsensically large deduction that he’d entered? I can’t recall. He did our taxes every year we were together, and I rarely participated much in the process. I’m going to pay up and move on.
Tomorrow will be family zoom and getting some house cleaning and yard work done. Plus exercises, of course. And breakfast prep for the week. Because I slept through dinner, I still have one more pizza that I can make tonight. Monday I think I’m going to be spending some time learning how to dog sit for a neighbor in town. So I might not create a meal again until Tuesday. Probably noodles and veggies and some protein again.
