Good night's sleep and I am feeling better today. Regarding yesterday's "blues"--I guess I wasn't as ready to say good-bye as I thought I was. Processing now, feeling a whole lot readier to face the future.

Which is a good thing, because I'm still dealing with the idea of open heart surgery. It has a high rate of success (a good thing) though several months of recovery are required.

I'm still hoping that chelation supplements and moderate exercise will allow me to put it off...indefinitely. I feel good and eat properly and sleep well. Putting myself into a situation where I'm in pain, limited in action, at risk for infection, on medication for the rest of my life, just seems so wrong to me. If I felt bad, that would be different.

Regarding exercise--I took my Kindle with me on the treadmill, found a "feel good" book to read, increased the font size, and discovered that the 20 minutes went by in a flash. I was even ready to continue longer! So that can become my routine, now.

The treadmill is in front of the air conditioner, so in the hottest parts of the year I can keep fairly cool (relatively speaking). I can't help it: I'm one of those people who plans ahead. Leads to orgnization, but can also lead to fretting about things. A two-edged sword.

Taking it one day at a time. Going to Trader Joe's to shop for food, then tackle tax documents again (still).

Sunshine and mild temps. Birds twittering and nesting, squirrels running up and down trees. Is it spring?
