Thursday

My forefinger had a run in with the potato peeler.  Took off a bit of the nail.  Hurts like the dickens.  Hope it heals fast, have to accompany Leslie on the violin in Sacrament meeting on Sunday.  I'm so coordinated - not!

My poor nail.

Am grateful to have been invited to lunch with three friends/neighbors/ward members.  Was a bit hesitant but they had no trouble putting me at ease.  And if laughter really is healthy for you, I must have been glowing with good health after lunch with those three sweet women.

Ran into my yoga friend, I've missed seeing her, and missed yoga even more.  Can hardly wait for the MRI on Monday, then the dr.'s consult with the results a few days after.  Sleeping is an issue.  (Remember, I'm a fan of the understatement.)  I dislike pain waking me from sleep, trying to find a comfortable position (near impossible) and then finally, finally drifting off, only to be woken by pain again in less than an hour.  Restless nights make for grumpy me.

FitBits:  New-top, Old-
bottom

Splurged on something totally unnecessary.  I've had a FitBit for years, probably even decades.  When The Husband worked for Google I earned money from taking a certain amount of steps.  That walking money bought a few wonderful luxuries over the years.  I've loved being able to keep track of how much I move, even now that I'm no longer able to earn $$.  So, the old one's battery is gone, I pretty much have to charge it every single day.  The new one arrived today and once I can get through the frustration of getting it working (everything has to work with an app these days) I'll be so ready to enjoy the new one.  I'll miss the old one, it's a much simpler version - I really don't want to track my sleep or all that other stuff.  And it seems silly, but I'm so happy that I have a reliable step counter.  It's fun to see how close The Husband and I are in our steps when we spend the day pretty much together.

Was challenged to record something good that happens each day this year. Thought to myself, that's easy, I already do that in my little blog, saying something I'm grateful for each time.  But there is a distinct difference between something good happening and gratitude for - well, whatever.  I'm going to try to find something good in each day and see what happens over the course of the year.  Starting anything new tends to be tricky at first until it becomes a habit.  But I'm going to give it a good go.

Grateful today for a new FitBit and for a finger that is healing ok, can manage to play the piano.  Grateful for approval from the insurance company for the MRI and for dinner that I only have to heat up.
