I am returning, day after day, to a more normal life even though my gait isn't normal.
I drove to school early today under a pouring rain. After drop off, I went to one of my favorites Starbucks where I wrote for an hour and a half. I left, afraid that my leg would be too stiff if I sat for a longer time.
I brought ice in a cooler, so I could freshen up before attending Town Hall where, every month, I always meet one of my best friends.
The lecture was about new energies, clean energies and the role of California in this field.
Quite timely!
More about it on my regular blog!
Then I drove home for lunch. I left so early this morning (shortly before seven) that I had skipped my half hour exercises. So, I did them early afternoon. Although I still limp, I feel better. I spent almost two hours cleaning the bathrooms (only three since I skipped upstairs), dusting the furniture and vacuuming most of the house. I recommend this work-out when the gym is out of reach. Not as much fun but keeps you moving!
I deserved a break and made some Chai tea that I sipped, listening to music and icing my knee. I'd rather hear the musical clinking sound of the ice cubes in a margarita, but for now I must do with ice pads. What a life!
I checked my e-mail, sent a long one to my sister and spoke with a friend who will visit me hopefully tomorrow. Yeah!
My kids are now back from school and my son brings home an A in math.
Although Japan is a mess, it is so far a very decent day and I am looking forward to many more as I progress.
This kind of stuff gives you a new appreciation for the little pleasures of life.
