Thankful Thursday

I’m thankful B was with me to do the Costco shopping. The cart was fairly full so it made it tricky. Mostly because we added TP, paper towels and bleach all of which are bulky. We bought a lot of fresh veggies, salad paks, fruit, and mostly food items. Oh, we picked up the 3 pack of geraniums which were a great price. ( 13.99)

I’m thankful swimming is almost back to normal. I’m doing around 35 minutes so I have to add another 5-10 to be back where I was. Actually, I’m fine with doing just the 35. I also like the later time. It’s more relaxed. By 9 am there are even lanes open, so I may try and push out getting there to 8: 40.

I’m thankful my son’s upcoming move is progressing. He and his partner are making their final decision about an apartment this weekend. Apparently, the rental market in Sacramento is very competitive and they have missed out on a few. It’s exciting for him and a big step. He will keep all his tools, crafts, etc in the barn, which is fine. I’ll miss him though. 😦

I’m thankful for all the small things in my life that help keep it simple. Routines I enjoy daily, always getting up early (5:30 or earlier), cooking, meal planning, and walking. I’m thankful for those small things.

I’m very grateful for the public library system. Roseville’s library is exemplary. I’m going today to pick up my holds. I think I have 10. Yippee!!!

  1. I am trying to reset my routine of small things, walking being chief among them, so I find comfort in reading your list. I admit to being just a tad envious of your swimming routine; I had to give it up some years ago because of changes in energy/capacity that I could not regain. So swim a lap for me, please!

    • I started back swimming right at the beginning of the pandemic coincidentally at the same time I restarted Velcade. I would go to the pool and the go to infusion. I started out slow, like maybe 20 minutes with lots of breaks so it took a while. After I finished that course of Velcade, which was my 2nd time, I got 2 years with no treatment. Now I’m back for the 3rd time with it once again working but once my numbers dropped to normal, we opted to try monthly. I’m not sure how I feel about it but willing to do it for now.

      • I totally get “I’m not sure how I feel about it but am willing to do it for now.” That fits a lot of my life right now!
