Shopping and yardwork

[susandennis]

It occured to me the other day that I have been feeling better than normal recently. I haven't felt bad enough to even remember to used my rescue inhaler in a couple of weeks.  Very very little coughing and zero coughing fits in a while.  I wondered if it was my imagination or the real deal.

Today, I swam for an hour - all alone in my lane - yeah!  Then I drove across the lake to one of my favorite breakfast places - Stopsky's Deli.  I ordered wrong but it was fine. It's a marvelous place to eat. Lots to watch, not too noisy, prompt coffee refills by really nice people. I just love it.  

Then on to Factoria. I started at Walmart.  I had a list that required going all over the store which I did, and enjoyed.  I didn't feel sick or bad or even tired.  At all.  I could have even gone on to Target or Old Navy or any one of the other stores in that same area but I didn't need anything else!  The only other thing on my list was a plant for the planter on the terrace.  So I stopped at Home Depot and bought mint.  

I came home and unloaded everything and put every single thing away.  I planted the mint in the planter and cleaned up and I am not at all exhausted.  Wow.  Kind of amazing. It's been months and months since I've had this kind of stamina.  

I may even go out later and pick up something for dinner!

It's really nice to have that extra energy and not feel tired or worn out after doing all you did. Also glad to hear hardly any coughing. I hope that, and all your energy keeps going on and on.

When I read your title "...yardwork," it really peaked my curiosity as to what that would be about. Mint is nice. I always break off a few leaves and chew them for a great fresh taste in the mouth.

I love your journal and always look forward to it everyday to read your adventures.

Thank you. Yeah, yardwork is a bit of a stretch :) But, it did involve dirt!
