Thank you to everyone who wondered about my absence and sent their good wishes. I’m back on my feet, feeling much better, but still not quite at “normal”. I see improvements every day but I’m patient and allowing myself time to heal and trying to listen to what my body is telling me – that included naps for several days, early bed times, and very carefully watching what I eat. I’ve started taking a walk every day, adding a block or two each time and, hopefully, by the time my books are due at the Library I’ll be able to walk there and back.

I’ve managed to keep up with a few things, laundry in particular, although I haven’t had a go yet at the sweeping, vacuuming, dusting, or scrubbing. We have a sold-out House Concert on October 2nd so I’ll have to work myself up to it before then. I’ve managed a Cranberry Hall Board meeting, a Guild business meeting, a movie and a couple of doctor appointments so my days are still busy. I am going to try very hard not to stress myself out over commitments I have made; in light of that I’m trying very hard not to make any new commitments.

I’ve made some progress on a cross-stitch project I’ve been working on, and I managed to do some knitting over the last couple of evenings. About the only thing I haven’t spent much time at is my quilting. I finished up a couple of cards that were partially done before I got sick but haven’t moved beyond that. I was hoping to get back to the sewing bee on Tuesday but I have another doctor appointment lined up for that day so I’ll have to wait another week.

I’m well enough for a daily post again, but will I have anything to write about? Who knows!
