One NEW Day At A Time
Day 17
Monday, September 8, 2014
This was a better day – as I knew it would be, because of
course things always get better. The
difficulty is in never knowing when things could change.
Contrary to what I had thought, it did not get hot. In fact it was cool and gray all day, getting
progressively more overcast as the day went on.
In the morning, though, I got “brave”.
I decided I will not be as trapped as I felt before the move, and I had
to take that first step sometime. So ..
I got out and walked. And I walked all
the way to the shopping center .. bought a sandwich (without having a clue what
kind! LOL) .. and walked back home.
Because I went a little slower, and paid more attention to what I could
tell of my surroundings, I not only had no problem at all; I wasn’t even all
worn out when I got back. It wa so very
pleasant out, and the thought crossed my mind that I am looking forward to
another month or so and enjoying fall leaves!
I’ll have a huge yard full of them, and don’t even have to rake! J
DN got home around 1:00ish.
Apologetic of course; and if I’m to survive at all, I have to try to “let
it go”. All except for the constant
slight eddge of wondering what will happen next, and when.
It was pretty much a do nothing afternoon. I mostly just watched SVU reruns, and
dozed. Both of us snacked a bit (though
I had actually had lunch). Then DN didn’t
want to bother to fix supper. That was
fine with me, as I had also gotten a salad at the market. It turned out there was something about the
salad she didn’t like, so I ate half and have the rest for today.
Even though I now have a working TV in my room, I can’t figure out the remote. DN got the TV turned on, and I finally
managed to scrool down (the number buttons don’t seem to work) to the local
station. When I went to sleep, I just
turned the sound all the way down and left it on. A little silly .. I’d have preferred it off;
but it’s not completely dark at night anyway, and I was tired enough for it to
not matter.
I woke early and got up to check windows. It’s not raining in, so I turned up the sound
a little for morning news .. and went right back to sleep for almost 2 more
hours! The rain has eased a bit, but
it seems like it might be a bit of an all day rainy day.
It’s September. It’s
a cool rainy day. This feel “right”. I hope by this afternoon I can come up with a
surt of ambition .. but right now it doesn’t feel likely. It feels like a good day to start listening
to a book. J
