Today is Day 283 of my Daily Food Diary and for the third day in a row it is a BUSY one.
On Thursday we hosted our family Thanksgiving Supper and yesterday I helped daughter Jennifer with some serious fall cleaning.
There are some cleaning jobs that are so notable. Cleaning any bathroom leaves one with a major sense of accomplishment. Defrosting and organizing a freezer does likewise. Microwaves also likewise! With a bit of soap and water and a little elbow grease, a microwave goes from total cringe to bright and sparkling in a few minutes. It is quite magical!
Today, Dan and I are clearing out our garden, putting away the patio furniture, and taking down the gazebo curtains and roof materials. It is sad work indeed, but tomorrow we are expecting heavy rains and winter will not be far behind.
The way the weeks and months are flying by, it will be spring before we know it and we will be reversing the process. 😊
You know what is really weird? I have been diagnosed with multiple chronic lung conditions – asthma, COPD, and bronchiectasis. If I sit or lay around for three days, I feel terrible. If I keep super active, and work my butt off, I feel GREAT!
I am feeling strong, healthy, and my lungs are clear! It is amazing! Weird but amazing. 🙄
