Daily Success for an elderly peregrino is symbolized by this statue

Daily Success April 4 – Okay. That was pretty well locked in at dinner time yesterday. Nothing worse, but better was a huge way to go.

Yesterday

Yesterday was better than the Okay showed. A big limitation was a terrible night’s sleep due to a LOT of shoulder pain. I was wakeful much of the night. Why? Seriously bad weather coming in and my recovery is not far enough along to insulate me from that.

Late in the afternoon, I was too tired to climb the stairs to the bedroom and so ended up taking a long nap on the couch.

Today

Today will be busy to say the least. I’ve got to get a lot done on the two Poli-Sci papers that are due next week. Both look straightforward, but I’m right on the border between an A and a B in the course. While the A remains possible, I’m going to push as hard as I can.

I also have Nabila’s mail to do.

My cousin Cynth was supposed to be here for a visit that included both lunch and working on reinstating her trademark for ScratchnAll. That changed when she discovered that she would need a lot of stuff that’s on her home computer, so she’s working to get it done by herself. I’m confident that she will succeed.

There is also exercise (definite) and physical therapy (it may be the better part of valor to take today off, at least for the biceps).

The Future

The future will be defined by my right arm (progress is happening, but it’s achy today; I may be overdoing the physical therapy), my left leg (I think I’m ready to go back to Monika to, hopefully, finish that up), and what happens with Sam (and I need to mention the Monday deadline to all three legal beagles).

Beyond that, Today is the day to sign up for hospitalero training or admit that I’m not going to do it. Ditto for the Confraternity of Saint James. Make a decision and act!
