A friend came into town last night and invited me to have dinner with her at Ad Astra.  It was nice to have a face-to-face adult conversation.  Thanks Willow!  It was good to catch up with you.

My goal today is to clean my house but I am having trouble getting started with that project.  I finished putting away the files I had out from doing my taxes and emptied some trash but that is as far as I have gotten.  Feeling a bit sleepy and lazy today.  Guess there is always tomorrow if the motivation doesn’t strike today.

I woke to the sunrise this morning.  I had missed seeing it while I was in town last week.  There are bright blue skies and sunshine this afternoon.  The wind is in a bit of a hurry though so feels colder than it actually is.  What I probably should do is go out for a hike and get some fresh air.  My cough is almost gone and I think I can tolerate a walk today.  I’ll go down to take care of the chickens in a bit and see how I do.  I am loving the sunshine today.

It has been a quiet day at home so far.  I have needed a day to stay home and recharge my body.  May go take a nap in a bit.  I might as well sleep if I am not going to clean – right?

I managed to stay on plan yesterday with my eating and didn’t give into the craving for peanut butter.  That felt good.  So far I have held to plan today.  My body likes me better when I stick to plan.  Now I need to start moving my body again and I will be back to normal.  If it is too cold to walk today I will get on the stationary bike and ride for a bit.

Sitting in my peaceful valley.  Doing taxes for others has really made me grateful for what I have.  I so remember the days when I lived paycheck to paycheck and was one emergency away from a financial disaster.  I wish the politicians would come spend a day doing taxes and seeing the reality of how people have to live.  I am so disgusted with the games the politicians play that impact the people who can least afford it.

Grateful for this beautiful sunshiny day, grateful I am back on track with my eating, and grateful for friends that come to visit.
