Subject: RE: BS: Welcome 2011: Declutter & Accountability
After being cooped up for a few weeks, I was able to get out, today, with Rog, to go shopping. I was wobbly and had to sit down a couple of times, but it sure felt good to do it and to last as long as we needed. Got some new undies, leggings to keep me warm, and Rog finally bought himself some really good boots with steel toes, even! We also bought a steam inhaler which I wanted to break up the congestion we both have hanging on. It's really neat and led to me having a sort of mini-spaw day (that is NOT deliberate, but I am leaving it that way..LOL)...I put a tiny drop of oil of oregano on a tea towel, draped that over my head, over the steamer and went limp in about two seconds with relaxation. Moved to the sofa, asked Rog to warm up my long, wheat husk back pillow and a small tube sock one for my neck. Which he did, quite carefully, though he got them w-a-y too hot.:-) Still, I was able to sit, after a while and just enjoy the heat soaking in on my back and under my feet. It was lovely. Haven't felt such luxury in ages.

I did call to see if Morgan wanted to come over. I knew this day was coming...after spending every day of the past week with his dad but one when he was over here for a couple of hours, he has now moved on to spending part of Sat. playing at a friend's house!! It's okay...I am ready for it, but it's still a new phase.

walked about 30-40 minutes!
