I used to give myself two days. Then a neighbor offered to
take half that route. I did not realize that I had been pushing with that load.
I was surprisingly relieved the first month that I only did half. Anyhow, it is
the one day a month when I take my time and do that - it takes me, now, at my
slow pace, just about an hour.
During that time, I can feel my tummy muscles happily
tightening. My neighbor, more up on things than I am, says they are my
"core" muscles. No matter what you call them, my bod does seem to
enjoy it. Unfortunately, that's about the only time I can talk myself into the
walk.
This week, also, I've done a little food prep here and
there. I try to do things in bunches, and then I have things ready to grab and
eat, or grab and toss into something I'm preparing. I did take a jar of peanuts
and chopped them. They'll be ready for things like oatmeal, salads, and so on.
And I rinsed a bag of spinach leaves. I didn't realize they needed
"washing" until I read the info on the bag. That was a challenge,
keeping the water use to a bare minimum, but I did it, and they are ready for
quick-and-easy salads.
Our charity crafting finished projects were piling up in
scattered piles. I did take all the scarves, just because they are easy to
pack, and made 2 big bags, labeled, with 2 dozen in each. They are ready for
delivery over the next two weeks. Weather here is quite cool at night. Not for
people riding in cars, or with nice warm clothing and a nice warm place at
home, but for people on the streets - these desert nights can be brutal if you
are trying to keep warm on a concrete bed with a stone for a pillow.
And so it went...nice and easy, but steady.
I hope the past few days have gone well for each of you -
nice and easy, but steady.
