Daily Success November 29
Daily Success November 29 is “Okay.” If I “close my eyes and tap [my] heels together three times“, I can see it as “Very Good,” but that would be both just barely and being generous with two things in my efforts to use my scoring system as intended.
Ah, well.
It would also have helped had my attempt to sign up for hospitalero training succeeded. I did log in and fill out the form, but it was for the waiting list. My own responsibility, that. I’ve been toying with the idea for a long time without acting.
There were other things done as well. Some significant effort on SurveyorBot, email with Cris to get some improvements to the seniorpilgrimage website done, books added to the database and moved to the Library, and full recognition of how much of a mess the Library is with books that I have not properly logged and placed on shelves. GUILTY, GUILTY, GUILTY! It is much easier to buy them than to do the resto of the collection process.
But, looking back at yesterday, and especially the steps with Cris, I’m going to give myself that “Very Good.” It’s a thin Very Good, but I think I do deserve it.
Today
Today started with digestive discomfort because I wolfed down too much food, heavily salad greens, at dinner last night. I was famished, hungrier than I can recall being in a long time. And I lost control. Back to “Okay.”
Today’s activities start with the dentist at 10:20. Then there is a SurveyorBot meeting at 2 PM and another at 6 PM. Zooms, both. But the day will provide precious little time for taking care of the rest of my life.
The Future
The crystal ball is throwing sparks and has smoke coming out of it. After all my angsting over hospitalero training, I’ve put myself on the wait list.
Worse, my back was more bothersome than usual last night. Not “bad,” but clearly out of sorts. There was even tingling in my right leg. I continue to do what Monika tells me with the stretches and taking it easy for things like walking. I will see her again on Monday as well. And, yes, the trajectory seems toward improvement overall, but it is incredibly slow. And frustrating.
