Thursday night I had a wicked headache. I planned to shop at Chico’s on Friday for an Easter dress. I didn’t know if my energy would hold. I could always bail if I felt weak or didn’t find anything suitable. I am not by nature a shopper. I took two tops with me for matching,…

I made it back to my meditation group on Tuesday because my cleaning people didn’t start until 11. After, I went to PNC Bank to have my signature notarized on the IRS form to redeem paper EE bonds. I remembered I hadn’t made a copy of the list, so postponed mailing them until the next…

I haven’t had a headache in days. Mystery. But I have been waking up with scratchy eyes. My first task is to put in my new eye drops, which does take care of that problem. Thursday I went to Great Clips for a hair trim. My usual people were not there. So I took the…

I tuned in early to learn the different horses and their odds for winning. They are so beautiful and confident. Unfortunately the track was very muddy. Every horse and jockey…

Yesterday was my Pittsburgh mediation group. There was a new member, middle-aged, and a guy. He had no trouble talking. He had done meditation groups in the past. He said he would be back. After that I started my main task of the day, making pumpkin bread. I wanted to give some to a neighbor,…
