Moving On


Good Morning!  This is the last post I will be making of ONWARD!  DAY XX.  I have established a routine now and as long as I stick to it I will not post my daily activities.  Thanks to all who encouraged me. 


ONWARD!  DAY 16


Good Morning!  After breakfast I went outside to do my hour of pulling weeds.  Didn’t make quite an hour.  It is getting really hot again – upper 90’s.  It doesn’t take long to get that hot.  I did get another container of plants cleaned out.  There was some green left on the plant so we will see what happens.  I also finished cleaning around the sad looking hydrangea bush.  I will water both of them this evening.  If it wasn’t for all of the nocturnal animals (coyotes, deer, etc.) I would work for a while after the sun goes down.  Not sure I should do that.


Morning chores are finished.  I washed my support socks by hand.  Next time they will go in the washer with a load of wash.  They will probably take days to dry.  I also added some t-shirts and collar shirts to my Goodwill bag.  Just finished my first set of physical therapy.  I know I haven’t been real faithful doing the p/t, but I am trying. Just sent a couple of emails.  Now I am going to eat an early lunch so I can run some errands.


Lunch is over and I am on my way to Walmart.  I went to the one in Phenix City because the road is all torn up going to Tigertown.  They are putting down new blacktop.  What a mess.  And, the Walmart in Phenix City is being remodeled and it is a mess.  However, I went anyway.  Bought what I needed and headed for home.  Upon arrival, after bringing in my groceries and putting away the cold items, I sat down on the couch for a much needed rest. 


Rest time is over.  I put away the rest of my groceries, fed Penny and had supper.  I think that is going to be it for today. 


ONWARD DAY 17!


It’s after breakfast so it’s time to pull a few weeds.  I didn’t stay out quite as long this morning because it is getting really hot again and there is no breeze.  However, I did find another container this morning that I had forgotten about.  Just hope I don’t find any snakes in this mess.  Anyway, it was one that had daylilies in it.  I cleaned it out and cut back the daylilies.  I feel really good about the progress I am making.  Now it is time for morning chores and a shower.


Ok, morning chores are finished.  Took my shower.  Finished some more paperwork.  Paid a few bills.  Ate lunch.  Talked to Jana.  Finished the book I was reading.  WOW I am really making progress, and it feels really good.  I have been so lazy and feeling so sorry for myself the past few months that I have basically done nothing!  I believe my ONWARD goal has really helped me.  I’ve even done the first set of p/t. 


Took a short nap this afternoon.  Ate supper.  Ran the dishwasher.  Did my second set of p/t.  Now I am going to call it a day/night.  Plan to watch a little television then go to bed.

Glad everything is falling back into place for you. Sometimes it is really difficult to shake that feeling sorry for yourself mood...I know, I go through it often. Keep up the good work!
