As mentioned, I had a restless night, but felt okay when I got up. Did the everyday morning things, then packed my lunch and took off for the library. As I was walking toward the gate, I ran into Vickie. Every once in awhile, she gives herself a ten minute break (she works at home) to stretch her legs, a good idea. I told her of my plan to take her and Suzanne to lunch at The Little Lion as a thank-you for taking me and picking me up at The Airporter. She was pleased about that. I wasn't pleased at all to hear she had to have an infusion yesterday--I'm not sure if it's for the cancer or her other maladies, but I hope it's not too bad.
Got to the library (behind it, actually) to, as usual, find Diane already there. We settled in and, also as usual, sat and talked happily for a good three hours. I was sorry to hear Diane is now reconciled to using the rollator (a kind of walk, but sturdier) all the time. She's self-conscious about it and, in the past, when for instance, she came to one of my performance or to BCNN meetings, she would take her cane. However, her neuropathy is advancing and that's no longer an safe option.
Anyway, we had our usual convivial time. Said goodbye and I went to the library to return a book, borrow two, and buy one. Stayed there for a bit reading. I walked home over the footbridge and glad I had gotten that exercise in--a total of two miles. When I got home, I started on some food prep, first cooking up a large (two pound) bag of frozen mixed vegetables. I prefer fresh, but like to have frozen available, too. I stowed some in the freezer, the rest in the fridge to have it the next few days. I also put in a freezer container the "juice" in which it was cooked. I often save that and use it for something in the slow cooker, as much of the nutrients go into the water. After that, I cleaned, seasoned, and roasted the cauliflower I had gotten at WinCo. Ellen called while I was in the middle of that, so she asked me to call her today.
What did I have for dinner? Mixed veggies and cauliflower, of course!
