9/17/09 Big Outing to . . . CVS

I did do my exercises today which was kind of hard because I still feel kind of weird and kind of exhausted.  I do,  however,  feel that the stuff doc L gave me is slowly working.  

The events of this day were showering, eating breakfast and having coffee.  Then I got bored.  I said to myself.  I'll take Umcka and I won't cough.  I want to pick up Luke's prescription from CVS.  I mean when a trip to CVS is the high point of your day . . . . 

The weather was heavenly.  Amazingly beautiful.  The air smelled like cool sunshine.  It could have been a fab spring afternoon.  I had the best walk from my car to CVS.  The beauty brought to mind walks on the boardwalk when I was a child.  Those innocent days when the sunlight brings joy and dreams and hopes for the future.  Love and baby strollers,  moms and gammas to take care of us.  We don't have to worry and we are immortal.  Sunshine on bright pebbles--lighting up my heart.  

I go inside,  feeling shaky and weird. (I told you that I feel weird.  And I told you that it scares me)  My knees are shaking,  but I'm determined.  Luke's prescription is there and I buy a few things--kind of putting things in my basket.  It's hard to lift my arms.  On the very brightest side,  Xavier has been asking me for more candy crabbie patties (what Sponge Bob wears.)  I found those candies at CVS last halloween and haven't been able to find them since.  Wow.  There they were--on sale--at the register.  I buy four packs and each pack has several inside.  Xavier will be so happy and excited.

Then I came home.  I was wiped out,  like I'd just hiked around the city.  I rested for awhile.  The nice weather inspired me to sit outside in our yard.   There I enjoyed seeing the most amazing wild bird show.  Two beautiful small wood peckers. (mom's birds)  And a few other tiny birds.  Flitting around the old tree that I love.  It's half dead but I love the part that's still vital and it tries so hard.  If the tree guy ever calls me back,  maybe he can save it.  I know the birds love that tree.  For a short time,  so many little birds were flying around that tree.  I felt that mom was there trying to encourage me,  to get my health together.  Like she was saying.  This is a mystic bird show.  Take care and get well.  I had a mystic bird experience at the ashram in S Fallsburg as well,  and I thought of that.  

Then I went inside and rested somemore.  Luke came home happy.  He had a great day and it wasn't as long as he feared it would be.  The guys doing the recording project were impressed.  He'll get more work.
