let's focus on the good things today!

 I have slept better the last few nights...two hours, two hours, then two hours...that's not too shabby!  

PT was not fun today, but it wasn't horrible.  I was able to do what I had to do, but my bend was the same as Monday, which wasn't great, but it could be worse, I suppose.

Packages are coming in the mail, and I'm wrapping presents.  I sat at the table for too long, and oh I paid dearly....have to get up and stretch and straighten and bend, or else..ugh.

But we're talking about good things.  And now it is Thursday.  :)

It is a blustery cold and snowy day here in central NY state.  Sonja came over with baby Kaia, and was going to go shopping with Charlotte and Camille.  The snow was coming down like a snow globe, then it would stop for a bit, then start again.  They finally decided to head out, but after ten minutes or so, they returned, and Sonja headed home, the roads were not good.

Baking cookies, that's what is sounding good to me.  I've tried to get the girls on board, as I can maybe put the pans in the oven, but probably would struggle to take them out...I could sit and roll them and put them on the pans, if I had a helper or two...one of these days maybe.  Gingerbread men, rolled sugar Christmas trees, sound so fun to frost and decorate!

I did talk to a few grandchildren on the phone today, and a few different daughters, and heard some nice encouraging words from one daughter-in-law.  

Tomorrow is going to be a freezing cold day, going down to four degrees tonight( -15.5 c), brrr.  I have PT in the morning, not looking forward to going down the icy front porch and walking down the sidewalk.  But I won't worry about it already tonight, ha.  

My hope:  tomorrow's session is better than yesterday's was, my bend was unchanged, and the front of the knee quite sore and tender.  Ah well....Paul made me a wonderful dinner tonight of scrambled eggs with onions and black olives, bacon, Ezekiel raisin English muffin, one half with peanut butter, and a bowl of chopped apples, pears, raspberries, and blueberries with whipped cream.  It was SO good.  :). 

You all have a good evening, I am off to do one more exercise session, although I'd rather stick my head in the toilet ha.  :)
