Another Weekend
So here it is, another Weekend in the northland. I have the usual things on my to-do list: Mother-in-law grocery shopping, lunch, Wal-Mart, and gym (Anytime Fitness), home to clean house, laundry, dishes, and cook dinner. I'm exhausted already thinking about it. My weekends go so fast. I try and cram so much in to them.
I'm not complaining though. I have a lot to be thankful for....just in the fact that I'm able to do all of those things on my list without assistance or at all. I just read on facebook a young man in our community who is in a wheelchair and unemployed. He's posting that he will make those cool fleece blankets for $10-$20....all he asks is you buy the fabric. I need another blanket like I need a hole in the head, but I may just go pick up some fabric and contact him to make me one. Anything to help him out during the holiday season. Bonus is I'll get a really nice blanket.
What else is on my mind? My physical therapist isn't releasing me from therapy. He's ordered another month. He did clear me to walk in the park at a "brisk pace - NO running!" - so I'm going to try that today after I hit the gym for weights.
I've been headed in to a pretty big funk lately and I think it's safe to assume that I need to get my head out of a$$ and get with the program. My salvation has - and will always be - movement. It helps clear my mind and get some focus. But I've used this injury as an excuse to slack off. No more. It stops now. As I said, earlier...I can be thankful that I have mobility and I'm able to move. Other's aren't as fortunate.
That's it for now. If I find time later, and I feel like I have something else to share, "I'll Be Back" (said in my best Arnold voice!) :)
