Sheba is Recovering

I made this giff with images I took on one of
my walkabouts before my breakdown.

So … doing the domestic chores went well. I love it when everything is working and the house is clean and tidy. My only concern is Sheba’s foot. But she had a nice slow, warm and gentle day off her sore foot while I cleaned and tidied. We didn’t go for any trail walks, and I spoiled her all day with love and treats.

I honestly don’t know what I do all day. Well, that’s not quite true, I do take a lot of naps, but the days past pleasantly even though I accomplish little to nothing. I’m not reading. Instead, I waste hours on videos on YouTube. Spending my days alone like this, rarely speaking, is heaven. 

One thing I did yesterday, was chopping wood to make kindling, and I brought all the kindling into the house and put it into a basket by the hearth. Having done that allowed me to easily and quickly get my fire going this morning. I arranged some kindling in the firebox and lit it and soon I had a nice beginner’s blaze going, and then I went out to the shed to fetch some large pieces to add and in no time, and with no early morning wood chopping, I had a roarer going and the house was soon toasty warm. I’ll chop more kindling today and repeat this process tomorrow.

And today began brilliantly. Sheba’s foot is very clearly improved. Our day off from walking obviously helped her heal. We trail walked this morning, but only briefly, and this afternoon, we’ll walk a little further, but I shall be watching her carefully.

Dianne wrote to say that she’s coming to visit on the 27^th—the day I get my echocardiogram. She’ll arrive here at Pinecone Park while I’m still in Nanaimo, so it’ll be exciting to come home to find her here. I love her visits. I love how easy it is with her. We’ll cook together and watch movies. I can hardly wait.
