I haven't been blogging for a while, because I have been tired so my mind hasn't come up with anything to write. I was even too tired to try just writing for 15 minutes.
Why was I so tired, you ask? Well, I have been getting up at 7AM, which is 4-5 hours earlier than I had been getting up. This means that I have been going to bed at least 3 hours earlier than my normal time. I made the decision to change my schedule so that I can return to daily mass. Yesterday and today, I awoke feeling rested, so I'm grateful that it's easier.
I've really been enjoying daily mass (even when I was tired, I was glad that I was there!). After mass is over, I'm sticking around long enough to pray my rosary, and pray the Divine Office. Then I go home to make breakfast.
On Wednesday, my friend, Esther, and I started walking/sitting at the mall. We walk/sit for 20 minutes, which means that I sit when I'm too breathless/tired to go on. Once I catch my breath, we get up and walk again. Per a friend's advice, we are taking off two days a week, so that our body can heal the muscles and grown more muscle tissue. We'll be walking 3 days and then 2 days, with a day of rest after each stint. We walked Wednesday, and took Thursday off (thanks be to God! I was so tired!). Then we walked again this morning. We'll walk tomorrow and then take Sunday off. I'm really enjoying the time with my friend, and the exercise. I'm glad that we've started it.
I've also continued with ordering my home. I didn't do anything yesterday, and probably won't do much until I'm in a little bit better shape with the walking, but I'm so happy that I've been doing it. It's so nice to go into an orderly kitchen. My mom kept trying to convince me of this when I was a kid, but now, 50 years, later, I'm finally convinced! Sorry, Mom, and thank you for the lessons, which must have been a pain in the neck for you!!!
