Just a walk in the park (sorta)

Sunday was a gorgeous day here in Southeast Michigan. I couldn’t tell you the temperature and wind speed as I woke up too late for the local morning news (damn Daylight Savings!) After I did my morning med routine (last time for the antibiotic, maybe), I took stock of me.

I was a little sore, but not incredibly so. It could be the reduced pain medication or the cleaning I did on Saturday. Anyway, I decided to take the day off.

So, I watched some TV, putzed a bit and read a lot. Melissa had emailed me and mentioned they would be home all day and I could call her if I wanted. I did reply back and told her she was the one with a family, obligations and a schedule, so it might be easier if she called me when she had the time. She didn’t, so I don’t know if she didn’t read that or just got busy.

I just hope she isn’t ticked I didn’t call. You don’t want that girl to get all Brogan on ya!

Lunch was some Campbell’s split pea and ham soup.

I did take a walk outside in the afternoon. I tried to go out back, but the grass was a little soggy for my walker wheels. I thought of just using my cane, but then realized I was too close to getting back to work to risk falling and screwing something up.

So, I went out front on the road. I didn’t get too far (maybe four houses and then back) but I did get some fresh air and a chance to wave “hi” to some neighbors.

Then I spent the rest of the afternoon doing my Federal taxes. I have everything entered and now just have to recheck it all (I'm so paranoid, I usually recheck it about 100 times before I actually file, LOL!)

Dinner was some jarred gravy on top of two split Pillsbury biscuits (it just sounded good and it was!)

My friend B___ called and we caught each other up. He is still convinced I am going back to work too soon and voiced his concern again. I said I was going to try it and, if it was too hard, I’d go back home. So, we agreed to disagree.

There was nothing much on TV Sunday night, so I read until I got sleepy (around the new midnight) and then went to bed.
