If only there were no nights or rather, no need to sleep!
As much as my days fly by quick and busy, even though I still limp, my nights are filled with bouts of sleep cut with moments of pain. I must say that pain isn't excruciating but it still wakes me up. My knee itself doesn't bother me actually during the night but I feel pain below my hip as if I had stretched too much. I wonder if the hamstring exercises could induce this kind of discomfort.
When early morning arrives, I am both glad that the sun is finally up and anxious to step out of my bed. But usually, although I feel stiff, there is relief to be up.
I am now able to take a shower without any help and it's great. I have regained some dignity here. My son had said last night that he would make French toasts for breakfast before tackling his load of weekend homework. Since my husband is busy today, my son and I share yummy slices (he is quite the chef!) in the quietness of the house while we plan the weekend. His sister could drive us for coffee early afternoon since she needs more driving practice. He will do his physics and latin while I will alternate knee extensions and flexions with a lot of icing.
I have started a new YA novel while I wait for answers to the queries I sent in January and February. I should return to it today since I have spent quite some time developing my main characters. The plot is coming along. I know the beginning and the ending. I always know the ending before I start anything. It keeps me focused as I write. Also the latest Jodi Picoult is out and I won't be able to resist long before buying it.
It is another beautiful spring day on the foothills and while I am itching for a long walk, I feel content to have a porch and a terrace where I can sit and write and read while enjoying the warmth of the sun on my skin.
