Hallelujah! It’s a nice, non-humid day in New Jersey. I volunteered at the library for 2 1/2 hours, looking up the age/grade levels at the Amazon and the Barnes and Noble websites for the donated “Sparks” program books. The volunteer coordinator said they sent their 1st batch of crates to the 2 social service agencies, where kids waiting to be placed in foster care can choose 3 books and receive backpacks. I also put “This book belongs to_________” plates in the front of a bunch of books. This program is great, and I’m glad I started working on it during its infancy. I’m finding that if I take my medication earlier in the day, I don’t get “wake-up” fatigue, so I have been able to get to the library 4 out of 5 times so far. Not bad!
So I’ve been getting myself out and the next thing to tackle is a yoga class. A woman is holding them at a first aid building down the road. Sounds like she has worked with people with diminished mobility (she has had classes where people use chairs for aid.) I’m gonna try the Tuesday evening class first, because I really am still a night owl.
We’re probably gonna go see the new Batman movie sometime this weekend. And I’m visiting my friend/old roommate and we hope to hit the LL Bean store (only one in this neck of the woods.) I will go slow and rest when I should, even though I don’t want to.
Peace out and enjoy the weekend… Jill, if you’re reading this post, we’re trying to get to the aquarium before you go back to teaching. We want to get Steven there, because he had such a great time last year.
‘Bye!
PS: Look for information on MS and seeking emotional therapy in the next post.
