Better and Better

It's 9am, the sun is shining, and I best be getting my butt out of bed. It's a glorious 60 degrees, and its time I get moving into the day. I slide into some pants and a tshirt, grab my mp3 player and a bottle of water, and dash over to the local park. I get out of the car and begin a few stretches (and find I'm absolutely stiff from Monday's walk!) and set out along the loop around the park. Its a great day for getting moving and doesn't take long to get heated up and moving quickly, feet stepping in time to some rock tunes playing in my ear. Nothing untoward happens, I don't get suddenly stiffened up or so tired out that I need to take a break. In fact, its going so well, I take an extra loop around the pond before heading home!

When I get home, I realize that I would ~love~ to take a dip in the hot tub, soak away all the aches, but can't until I'm cleared from the doctor. Which is Monday. *sigh* I settle in for some time with homework, but my mind isn't focusing all that well on it. So I opt for finding a book to read, and it hits me: lets go read in a chair by the pool!! the sun feels warm beating down on me; I have a bottle of water nearby to quench my thirst; and a little bit of baby oil to slather on over the dry skin I've had since stay in the hospital. It felt so heavenly, before I knew it, an hour and a half went by!! Which meant time for lunch! and back at the homework.

I'm having a real struggle getting back to focusing on school. I'm not sure if it was being behind, or the fact that what I read, I'm not retaining (which, of course, could be due to lack of interest). Or quite possibly the fact that I have to do a presentation, which I dislike with great intensity. I keep thinking that its part of college, because they're prepping 20somethings to go forth into the world of work and BE somebody. Well hell, at my age, I'm just happy to be who I am!!

So in the meantime, I do what I can, push a little too hard at some things; but if I don't push, I won't be ready for returning to work, where a great deal of what I do is physical; nor would I be ready for the Holiday Shopping Season; or last, ready for moving yet again!!

Every day in every way, I'm getting better and better! Hope you are too!

HUGS to everyone!
