12:40 am

12:40 am
sprite
a good deed for sure
12:41 am
grannyrose

i've managed to have a shower, get dressed, do 2 small loads of washing, hand washed a knitted jumper, folded and sorted the clean laundry... still haven't been on the pedals. i really have to make myself do that.
12:48 am
sprite
sounds like a pretty full schedule!
12:49 am
grannyrose
not really. not with taking the breaks i need. learning to pace myself and still get things done.
12:50 am
sprite
yeah that is what I am doing too. I get much more done nowadays, just because I have learned to pace myself, take brakes, go slow
12:51 am
grannyrose
up-side is i am moving so much more freely than before. you wouldn't recognise me with how much walking i can do.
