OK, we can now add a weekly round of trash chores to the activity list, and a daily trip up the stairs whether I am sleeping up there or not, with correct use of muscles/weight shift/gait.

I'm tired!!!

===

I booked a pool date with a friend for Wednesday early AM next week tho I have to go to Rochester later that day. A friend who recovered from two orful surgeries has decreed that I shall go somewhere every morning, add social stuff, and add dog stuff. Pool is 3x per week so that is where non-parochial "social" will happen, and I know exactly who I want to hot-tub with. Dog stuff is in progress with Faulkner learning Therapy Dog cert items.

Other "social" occurs for me weekly whether I plan it or not-- this week it is a tough, all-standing visitation one day and a long funeral, cemetery, and lunch the next day. I was not at liberty to say who had died till the obit was posted, but the wife of our dear landlord and friend died suddenly in her sleep Monday morning. Their wonderful 4 boys (young kollidge men) are all home now. This means we will be on the hop around the edges of events, as they are not formal members of our parish and Hardi is not the funeral officiant.... but just a pastoring presence, each of us, with the family.

So tonight I SLEEP! This week's daily "out"s: Tomorrow pool, Thursday Closet Day with an alterations helper (new clergyspouse friend) at a friend's house, Friday funeral.
