It’s likely that you have been thinking about taking a vacation or doing something with educational value, but you haven’t been able to pull it all together. Today, it’s reassuring when your vision finally falls into place. But the work isn’t done; you still have to fine-tune the details before executing your plan. Don’t try to do everything all at once; give yourself plenty of time to make it happen.
IRELAND
And that’s exactly what we’re doing! We’re tacking our packing projects a little bit at a time, cleaning the house and getting all of our old clothes sent to goodwill. We’re making space for our new houseguests!
Spring cleaning is good, and now that I’m on Prednisone (the bronchitis would NOT abate without it) I’m actually able to smell again (a mixed blessing) and my energy is up a bit (funny how not being able to breath will flag the energy, no?)
I’m not overdoing it, but I AM getting stuff together and I’m trying to intelligently delegate to Max & Hannah. THEY’RE not nuts about that part, but it’s necessary, and they’re still of a good age to help us out with a minimum of grumbling…
In terms of my Fibromyalgia pain, it’s worth mentioning again that if I don’t get at least a small amount of exercise every day, my pain is much harder to control.
It may be that the warmth of Spring has something to do with reduced pain this week, or that my bronchitis is going away, but I chalk a lot of it up to being more on top of taking my Vitamin D (I flagged during our trip to Rushmore) AND my wonderful bike! YAY BIKE!
I don’t ride far, but I enjoy every last minute that I’m ringing my bell and waving to the crowds!
CLASSES
The new energy’s gone to my head. I’ve scheduled a few classes in the coming months, no more than 1 engagement in any month (oh, for the days when I used to do 2 a month 12x a year…)
So here’s my schedule from now through September. 3 countries, no waiting!
I also have a few banner ads for my classes. Since I’m foolishly proud of them, I’ll list them here, too!
WEB RADIO
I’ll be a guest on Knit & Purl Girl’s Stitch & Dish radio program Friday night (tomorrow) at 8pm Eastern Time. If you have a way to get online, you can listen to the show! She’s a fun interviewer, I really hope you’ll tune in!
I am so glad you are feeling better and being careful to mete out your tasks. It sounds like you could be on a steroid high. The morning after I started them,hubby came down to the kitchen in the morning to find me standing on the counter, cleaning the top of the cabinets. Yes , I mean the part of the cabinets where no one can see.
I am glad you decided to go to Ireland.
No such thing as being foolishly proud! Wave those banners high!
Dear Annie, Living in the North as you do, do you take Vitamin D?
Latest research is it triggers the immune system to fight anything needing fighting from ashthma, ms, high blood pressure [especially important for
darker skinned people to take], all kinds of cancers, diabetes, etc, anything to do with immune system. Also for depression. I take 2000 IU about
4-5 times per week. Also have had better results if one needs surgery for anything serious [those who had higher levels of vit d in bloodstream did better].
