BETTER

Wed. eve., July 2:  I am better today.  I don't know why.  I spent some time in the pool and that helped although I can't relax the way I used to. I gave my old metal lawn chairs a 2nd coat of red paint. They were blue and green.  I love red.  It makes me feel better just to look at it.  I emailed and received responses from 3 old friends.  Maybe all of it put together just made me feel a little better.  I even had a nice chat with hubby.  Usually our conversations are limited to "business".  It is supposed to rain tomorrow and the next day so everything could be different because of that.  Although, I do plan to prepare potato salad and deviled eggs for the 4th.  Just having a plan seems to help me sometimes.  I may even make my weekly trip to Springfield.  These gas prices are really something!  I try to just make one trip every week or so and do everything I need to do.  Mostly this trip is about going to the bank.  I am going to try to enjoy this little bit of "up" I have.  This last down was a big one!
