What Did We Do?

I sat down at the computer to post a blog and I couldn't remember what we did in the last five days since I last posted. All I knew was that it felt too busy and we got tired.

I consulted my calendar. 

We attended two high school soccer matches. Irene's team lost one and won one. 

Saturday morning we worked outside edging and cleaning out beds. We got too tired. I spent Saturday afternoon watching college football and reading and blogging.

Sunday the Seahawks played football in the morning, and won. The Sounders played soccer in the afternoon, and lost. For the first time in their 13 year history they will not be going to the play offs. I'll switch to watching the Seattle women's soccer team instead. The OL Reign will be going to the playoffs. 

Monday it was more than enough to do some PT, my half hour on the bike, do all the laundry, and help Tom with the housework. I got the kitchen floor mopped. Then I was tired.

Tuesday was Tom's 81st birthday. He attended his Zoom meeting with friends while I went to the clinic for an in person PT session. I got some new exercises. It was hard and I got discouraged. I also got my flu shot. I stopped at Safeway on the way home and the pumpkins helped to cheer my up.

I bought a funny card for Tom, and since he had eaten up all of his Drumstick ice cream treats, I bought him two more boxes, plus a couple of yummy chocolate desserts for later in the evening. 

Then I spent the rest of the morning redoing my PT charts and practicing my new routines. Then I was discouraged and tired again. In the afternoon I worked outside for an hour to cheer myself up. Gardening can do that for me, even though it makes me sore and tired. 

That evening we gathered at a Chinese restaurant for a birthday celebration for Tom and his twin Jan. Jill, Irene, and Isaac were there. It was good to see Isaac. From dinner we all went to the high school stadium to watch Irene's team play and get in a little more visiting. That chocolate dessert was perfect when Tom and I got home and settled in to watch a little TV. 

Now it's late Wednesday afternoon. After PT and 6 miles on the stationary bike, Tom and I worked outside collecting and washing the glass flowers. I did the washing. Tom did the collecting. I had the easy job.

Waiting to be washed. 

Washed and rinsed.

Draining/drying. No sun today, :-(

Charlie/Mewdini came by and tongue dried the bird bath we collected and washed. 

The glass flowers are drying on the work bench in the garage. We'll get them stored in the attic tomorrow.

Tomorrow I have a radiology appointment downtown at noon. I'll get my PT routine and bike done before I go. There's another HS soccer match in the evening.

And that's what we've been doing.
