Wowza! Today is predicted to be the last day of rain for a week. We’re in for a string of days with clear weather and temperatures around 20°. I’m thrilled because it seems like ideal weather for the section of the yard where I planted clover, and I’ll get some more outdoor time, plus my dinner on Saturday party on Saturday may end a lovely day.
Dave and Ursula sent me a nice note to thank me for the dinner and they told me that when they got home, they got a call from their son, Will, in Victoria saying that Molly, his wife, had gone into labour, so D&U have made a beeline to Victoria to be there for the birth. This will be their first grandchild.
I fed and medicated the brood. Everyone, including me, is on medication except Ethel who soon may be because of her allergies. It was a nice slow morning. We were warmed by a small fire. Her Highness and I took a short walk through the 707 Park, and then I came home to meet with Dr. Shoja. My meetings with her can often exhaust me, so I went into this one knowing that I had the rest of the day to chill.
Our session was the most wonderful, positive and meaningful ever. It had the mood and feel of yesterday’s post, with me feeling very, very good about myself and my understanding of my condition. It feels like all the learning of the past ten years came together. What thrilled me was telling Dr. S. that her version of my upbringing and its effects on me, is fully my story now. I have accepted her insights, and I am very cool with who I am.
I was so positive and happy, on a prednisone high, she thought that the way I was speaking so happily and so healthily, that I wanted to stop seeing her. I don’t and I told her so. I feel I have more to learn, but we’ll see where things go from here.
After lunch we went to Rollo Park to play fetch together. I thoroughly tired her out and I plan to do more of that now that the cool weather is here. She needs to lose weight as much as I do. And then I came home to watch the Netflix show about the Guiness family while rain fell outdoors.
I ate more yesterday than I have in one day for well over a month. I will, however, have no problem returning to my ‘mindful eating’ routine of late because I want to reach my target weight and then keep it there if I can. I’m happy to find myself sustaining the change to indoor weather, I’ve been doing a lot of cooking and baking to fill time rather than reading. I’m focusing on savory things now instead of sweets. I believe the slowness of indoor life is helping my foot heal, and giving wet food to Fred seems to have cured his digestive problems. I’m so, so happy to have helped a sweet, sweet, loving soul.
Today we’ll forest walk with our friends, and then I’ll be making curry sauce for the roti bread that I’m serving on Saturday. How the rest of the day will unfold is unclear, but I’ll probably take a load of recycling to GIRO. Winter is such a slow dull time for this blog because I do so little.
