Thursday...

A good day. For one thing, even though I slept half the day, I think I had a little more energy than I've had lately.

The biggest excitement: I went out. Out as in "out of doors". When Beulah came over (so she could help me with doors), I took my walker out to the back parking lot behind the building and sat in the sunshine for 15 minutes. The weather was beautiful - warm shirt-sleeve weather. And though I was exhausted from the trip, it was worth it. There is still snow on the canal but there are tiny buds on the trees and the occasional green leaf sprouting in the flower beds.

I also tried out the crutches that Gord let me borrow. Not bad. Not bad at all. More maneuverable than the walker, but not as steady.

maaseru visited in the morning. At about 4 p.m., Beulah came over and we watched two episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer - will write up my notes as soon as possible, but not tonight. Then auriaephiala, raynedaze, and commodorified came over and we watched Due South ("Chicago Holiday", parts 1 and 2) and then Doctor Who, "The Fires of Pompeii".

Nice day.
