I just got back from shopping at Sears. I bought bath towels, a bath rug, and a shower curtain & hooks. I then took a much-awaited shower. I guess something got mixed up with Michael. He said that he'd drop off a folding chair this morning, but he never showed up. He was going someplace with his wife and grandson today; I guess he ran out of time and had to hit the road. I can bear to wait another day for a chair.
I spent most of the day reading until I went off to Sears. It's about a half mile from my apartment, so I am keeping up my walking exercise, which I also need desperately. I feel so fat and tired compared to when I moved to Marlborough. I was working like a demon to clear out my house in New York, and then all over again to move my stuff into the house in Marlborough. The job search slowly demotivated me to do a whole lot of heavy lifting and get incidental exercise. This winter was also light on snow, so I didn't get much shovelling exercise. I got only one or two days of yardwork in before I flew out to Houston.
I might just need to give Helen and Ian a digital camera so they can email me pictures of stuff around the house I need to see.
[Later] Michael and I apparently missed each other by just a minute this morning. He just dropped off the chairs, and they are just what I need. Whew. His generosity has been so timely. I just finished reading a book that I got for my birthday. It was nice to be finally reading something besides non-fiction. I talked to my mom yesterday; she got the flowers we sent and was happy. :-)
