A bit easier to get out of bed this morning, even though I woke up at ten to five and felt like I wasn’t falling back asleep. I did end up falling back asleep for a little bit before the alarm at six. The walk felt good. I went down the hill and into a cloud, emerging again when I came back up. I love walking through clouds.
I had my therapy this morning, and I was happy to report on all the progress since last week. I feel like I’m in a really good place. Still grieving, but with a bit more energy. And I’m going to need that energy once I start my community service on Saturday. We talked about my plan to be very low demand on the Sundays after the service. I will have a couple of hours of work to do this weekend, but not the next two weekends because of how the class schedule is.
I need to work on the training schedule for my new employee. It’s a little intimidating. But I know that I need to get a good plan in place, even if we aren’t able to completely follow it. Things come up in Systems, and sometimes there will be opportunities for learning that will come up and interrupt the set schedule.
I ate my stew for both lunch and dinner. It was delicious. I even like the celery! I do not enjoy fresh celery at all, but cooked it’s okay. And this is well cooked. I’m proud of myself for getting a bunch of vegetables in there. I don’t know how my guts are going to react to the veggies and the beans, but it’s good healthy food.
I drove myself to the hot springs this evening. My first drive on public roads since October 24th. I cried a little bit. Thinking about his hand on my leg, and how we would kiss before we drove anywhere. I survived the suspension. I leaned on my neighbors, and did without a lot. Now I’m going to be driving to Boise once a week for a while so I can get my hours completed as soon as possible. My step-mom thinks I should get myself a treat; I’m thinking a stop at Zeppole bakery in Boise on Saturday, maybe for breakfast. If I get up at 6, I’ll have plenty of time to get there and eat and get to the ReStore by 9.
I’m going to try to drive home on Saturday evening, but if I’m feeling tired, I’ll stay another night in Boise. I’ll let it be a game time decision.
I felt energetic enough after the hot springs to do my Move U workout for the day. I think the staff spinning is helping me with my shoulders, and especially how that left side sits. I’ve been trying to figure out how to help that left side feel better. Who knew all I needed was a broomstick?
