I woke up yesterday feeling like I was staring down the barrel of another week and not sure what to do with it. Yesterday, I ran a load of errands in the morning, fixed a few dollies for F, talked to Jean and to Mom on the phone, picked up F and Simon from nursery/work and even took a few things up to the dump. It was a really productive day and I was surprised that I wasn't hurting as much as I was last week. I left my crutches and I was a lot more limber, even in the evening. I don't know why the change happened, but I am grateful for a brief respite. I slept better last night as well as a result.
After being out yesterday, I decided to stay quietly at home today. I started working on a painting and got a lot further with it than I expected to in one day. I kinda get sucked into things when I start them....but I was trying to discipline myself to stop every 30-45 minutes and take a break - fit the housework and lunch, etc., around painting.
It's been a gorgeous sunny day and nursery slathered the kids up with sunscreen and played with them outside for most of the day they said. I'm so glad she's got that outlet right now as she wouldn't have had much fun stuck inside with me. She's tired tonight, but that's because she's had a really good day.

| Picking up F from nursery - she'd found a toy cat there which she named 'Tim Catchamouse' after a character in a book she has. |
