LF, I hear ya. It's one of the toughest parts of healing. Perhaps there is something from your talks with your priest to help?

Looking around this AM, both at home and office-world, I see so many things I "should" do that I am not sure where to start.

The past week took a toll on my ankle and shoulders, so whatever I do I need to keep it small, easily-abandoned, and keep the shoulder and ankle flexing but not doing real "work" or repetitive work. That makes so many of the tasks remain premature, so.... I guess.... I'll focus on "what do I need to get done so I can leave later and go have some fun." A galpal invited me to join her and another galpal for a fun evening, so [gasp!] I am actually taking a Saturday night OFF from the weekly service, for reasons other than infirmity, illness, or travel-- taking one off that will offer FUN as an actual break.

It will involve a lot of walking, and that is an ankle problem, so-- getting shoes set up for the odd terrain involved, making sure I find and set aside the portable stool I'll carry so I can sit often at MY pace-- oh!

The stool is NOT in the messy van where it belongs (which I need to declutter (hen shoulder improves), but was left out months ago in DOG WORLD! Yay! Playtime with doggies using good shoulder, find ball, put stool back in van, and it's a SUNNY day, pretending to be warm, and no wind!

I need to go see how much Sadie's been digging out there too, and what F has been eating that causes "issues."

PS for LF-- MANDOLIN!? I know someone who would be glad to come and share that fun! You do too.... you normally see him with a 4-string banjo but he has a new mando he LOVES, and is in need of time-spending during the week particularly since he lost his wife.... I'm sure you know who I mean.
