Feeling good

 First...my word for the week is contentment (thanks Jenny)


Second, I woke up feeling great yesterday! (when I wrote this). It was confusing to not be too out of breath, coughing was reasonable, and all my muscles seemed to obey my wishes without aches or pains.

 So I went for a  drive, couldn't quite manage a walk, but I did skip using the cane getting to the car. First to pick up a prescription and use my 30% off at CVS. I felt good enough I got my COVID vaccination.  Then to a favorite restaurant, where I usually have gone with friends on Saturday's after working the Tailgate Market selling our pottery. Those days are long gone.




But I had been telling friends how much I wanted the turkey & dressing meal...which is so much I never could eat it all in one sitting. Nobody else said they wanted to go, so I went alone! I seldom do that, usually just taking things "to-go". But I really liked the presentation of their meal, and it didn't seem it would meet my "comfort food need" in a box! I kept thinking, it may be my last chance to eat this, so I'll pay whatever it costs. I'm worth it!

To start the meal...

This much went home with me in a box!

And I decided I needed to treat myself to the delightful desert, Bistro Bites, which is a warm brownie with ice cream and whipped cream...and some decaf coffee on the side.


It was surprisingly not crowded, since it was warm enough for many people to sit outside under the red umbrellas with a bit of sunshine.

I proceeded to drive away leaving my boxed dinner sitting there, drove around the block and came back for it, and fortunately they'd saved it for me!





This (above) may be true, but sure goes in the face of other "flow philosopies!"
