Counting The Days ...
Today is Day 54.
Fifty-four days of a cast on my right leg, extremely limited mobility and, basically, total house-confinement since every entrance/exit is at least one flight of stairs. I've tried not to whine and carry on all the time over this situation but, . . . it has been miserable!
This week has been better than most for several reasons. One reason was that our Harley-riding friends invited us to their house on Tuesday for an afternoon by the pool. Sitting in the sun, listening to reggae music, and enjoying time away from the confines of the house -- outside in the fresh air -- was a great alternative to much of the rest of the fifty-four days thus far. We even ordered in Chinese for dinner and sat on the far deck (they have a three level deck on the house and a separate 3-section deck on the opposite side of the pool), chatting . . . planning several trips (including our August trip to the HOG Nationals, our October trip to Daytona for Biketoberfest, and a late Winter trip to - possibly - the Caribbean) . . . and just "kicking-back" and enjoying the moment.
Tuesday was such a terrific change of scenery (and boost to my morale), that I took a book and 'managed' to maneuver out onto our back deck for a couple of hours yesterday afternoon. I read for a while, and then took a nap in the sun. There was a constant breeze -- which keep the wind-chimes moving in a hypnotic, melodic serenade -- and a peaceful atmosphere with the trees swaying, the birds singing, and the sun shining.
It looks like it is going to be another beautiful day today . . . I might end up on the back deck again this afternoon . . .
