A Day For Puttering

With no big chores in the list today, I took my time about getting anything done.  We got up late, and Jake was up even later.  


Jake is doing well, still a bit spaced out on pain meds, and not moving around much yet, but content with my mostly ignoring him.  He's not much for being "mothered".  Kitty checks in with him now and then and sits on him, although a wrongly placed paw can have a painful effect.


Tom vacuumed the downstairs and I mopped the kitchen floor, took down the final party decorations, watered house plants, did a little sewing project for Jill, and actually sat and read a novel for a while.  Then I did my ten miles on the stationary bike plus my floor exercises.  Now I just have to get better at limiting my calories.  There are still too many bad, tempting things around.  


With plenty of left overs for dinner, I didn't really even have to cook today.  


It was good to have a slow day.

  2. Even whirlwinds who accomplish as much as you do, Linda, deserves a nice day off. Only ten miles? (kidding!) :-)

  4. The nicest thing about winter is you DO get some slow days. Nice to just sit and read! I love the pictures of the crab apples(?) at the top of your blog these days.

  7. Thank goodness Jake is getting better nicely. It's nice to have a quiet day occasionally. You are always so busy. I'm back to scanning again and it's taking all my time.
