An exhausting Monday

After a mild autumn, the sudden onslaught of serious winter weather comes as a bit of a shock to the system!

I would have been quite happy to stay inside, rather than out in the high winds and heavy rain, but I had two appointments in town — getting blood drawn for fasting labs in the morning and physical therapy in the afternoon.

In between I had my breakfast shake in the hospital lobby while replying to emails on my phone.

I got gas and cashed checks at the bank; took advantage of being in town to grab a few Christmas-y items; picked up our grocery order; then ate the snacks I brought for lunch while sitting in the car.

An intense physical therapy session, then one final errand: picking up artwork for the music office from the frame shop.

All while driving with extra caution in the rain and doing my best to stay dry while popping in and out of the car. By the time I got home I was completely done in.

Now it’s time for dinner and an early night.
