A gorgeous rose from the bouquet my brother and sister in law sent me, celebrating the book!
This is the week of everything.
I’ve started writing the book.
I will sign the contract this week.
I’m moving.
Yup, it’s a lot.
But in the midst of all this good stress (and it is good stress), I’m really thankful for my body.
And that’s weird for me to say, because normally, my body and I are at odds. It’s not perfect, by any standard. And it never will be. It’s always going to be ‘Healthy for me’, which is not healthy for anyone else, generally.
But right now, it’s able to take out big bags of trash, and go under beds and cabinets, and pack boxes, and clean toilets. It’s slow going, because my knee never really recovered from the meds last fall, which messed it up, and I still only have 54% lung function (which is so much better than 19%, don’t get me wrong!), so I don’t work as quickly as someone else might.
But my body can do these things. And I’m really grateful for that. It can do these physical tasks, and I can type these words.
So even though it’s the week of Everything, and I’m running around like a crazy person, I’m glad I can run around like a crazy person.
No yarn along this week, and no quick takes, because it’s The Week of Everything!
But next week, maybe a tour of the new place?
