I got more sleep last night than I have been getting. I slept hard for an hour, was awake for three hours, and then was able to go back to sleep and sleep for several hours. I woke p this morning feeling almost rested.
Phil started demolition on the front porch today. I cannot longer use my front door. I’m so excited that project is finally started. I already like the look with the big, ugly pillars gone. He is going to replace it with a simpler structure. I didn’t ask him how long it will take to get it finished. It will be done when it is done. I told Kathy she timed her trip away perfectly as she will miss all the construction noise and mess.
I took Sophia on a long walk late morning. It has been a beautiful day and was a perfect day to take a long walk. Roxy declined my offer of a long walk.
I walked to a friend’s house for happy hour late afternoon. I managed to walk almost three miles today. I needed to move my body today and managed to get it done.
I made some cheese squares tonight using cottage cheese. You put cottage cheese on parchment paper and sprinkle on Everything But Bagel spice. Bake it for 30 minutes at 350. It makes a high protein snack with no sugar or flour. They are tasty but a bit too much garlic for my tastes. I will try them again and use a different spice. The video that showed me how to make them dropped them onto the paper and they stayed in shape. Mine melted and made one big blob. Not sure what I did wrong.
Tomorrow night I am planning to go to Pioneer Bluffs for a BBQ meal and a live concert. I have an extra reservation I had made for Kathy to go with me but not sure she will go. Anyone want to go with me if Kathy decides not to go?
Monday I will probably have exercise if my trainer has recovered from her latest bout with Covid. I will go to the Chiropractor afterwards. Tuesday I am taking Kathy to the airport. Her flight is around noon so we will leave around 8:30 or so. I will have critter care responsibly while she is gone for a week. The critters will miss her special attention.
I have been able to maintain above neutrality today. I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to people this afternoon but am grateful I walked over and joined the small group. I felt better today than I have for a couple of days since I got some sleep.
Grateful the porch remodel project has begun, grateful for a day with lots of outside walking, and grateful for conversation with friends today.
