I tell you, since I have been taking time off for my health, my life has been a bit boring.
I haven't even done much of anything except watch Outlander, watch television and clean house. I don't do a whole lot of anything these days.
The cancer is still gone, so that is good.
I have tried to get things done that I can't while I am working though: teeth fixed, eye doctor out of the way and spending time with my family.
Even though it has been out since November, I have barely read much of Diana Gabaldon's newest novel Go Tell the Bees Than I Am Gone. I don't know why I haven't read much of it, I am home all the time so I had that month to spare to read the book.
I don't think that I am tired of reading Diana's novels since they are brilliant, so that can't be it. I think there is a bit of a fear that we will be waiting for the next novel for a while, so I would savor the book, but that isn't it either. I just haven't been reading much recently.
I am also thinking about the things I used to do and the life that I had when I was in my hometown. Part of me wants that back, but I know that it can't happen. Old things pass away and you move forward.
I have been working on getting myself back together and into routines. This was hard when I was on the chemotherapy and concentrating on getting well. Getting back into those routines is harder than I thought they would be.
I do like my new-ish home, of course there are things that are annoying...like my neighbor downstairs who is a bit of a pain in the butt, but can be nice too. He is kind of goofy really.
My landlord is kind and sweet. He lives downstairs too, and he is always looking out for me, wanting to make sure that I am alright and that things are going well for me after my illness. He never gets into my business, so that is a good thing.
I have also decided that I don't want to be a part of the Auxiliary on any other level than what I am doing, our post and unit have changed so much and the attitudes no longer coincide with how we need to help our veterans and the community, it has become a very uncomfortable place for me to go without my stepmother there too.
The only place that I have been to blog is at my Outlander blog: Outlander Musings and even there, I feel a lot of nostalgia without my blogging partner.
I have been walking a lot more these days. It gets easier with time and determination, even though I don't walk on days when the weather is cold, I do get out.
I also knit a lot these days, it helps to while away the time. I could listen to Bees on my Audibles when I am knitting but then I get engrossed in listening and screw up stitches...I can be hopeless in this.
Well, the dishes are calling so I will go now.
Have a great day!
