The Rest
Today is the rest of the story of yesterday’s Mankato visit to Dr. Saraff. There was a general discussion of activities on my home-front. No, I have no pain in my day-to-days. With my mind and body moving from the time I get up, I shared that weariness took over about 9-10 in the evening, I would be ready to call it a day. No, I do not have heart beating fluctuations. No, there was no need for help in our home as Dennis fills that bill. I have no restrictions on my activities, except . . . heart-raising activities no longer than five minutes in duration. Saraff suggested multiple short quiet times in my days to rest the mind and body . . . I didn’t comment, but that is easily done in my bedroom porch perched on my cherry red chair. I was very pleased for the time he had for me. His philosophy is that being self-reliant is a good way while you can do it.
That was what yesterday held and what a great feeling it brought. Caution each day still is on me to stay in a good place.
The meal for the day is a chicken oven dish. Diced boiled carrots, diced green beans, sautéed chopped onions, pasta, chicken and Alfredo. The kitchen with the sautéed onions has been wafting great aromas that will only get better when the oven works its magic. Good eating with enough boned-out chicken to plop into a freezer-bag for another time. Dennis worked his magic by covering the surface of the oven dish before it goes in at 350 degrees for 1.5 hours with ground pepper.
The grain elevator must be calling in contracted corn. The semis have been coming and going for most of the day.
Thanks be to God for a time of peaceful reflections on this gray and chilly day.
With that I take my leave. ♥
