Rocket Dog Molly

Okay – I am going to try this again.  Was sitting here typing an entry when I got booted out by a bottled water add.  No respect I tell ya!.  Hopefully, I don’t have a double entry although I hadn’t saved anything yet so I think I am starting afresh.   Anyway, have been sitting here having coffee and trying to stop procrastinating and get in the shower.  I was just handed a little added incentive as the home health nurse just called and will be here sooner rather than later.  It isn’t that showering is that much more difficult although it does require a little more care than usual.  Maybe it’s just the thought of the injection I have to give myself after I get out that leads to this dragging of the feet.  At any rate, I seem to feel pretty good in the mornings after I have been up for an hour or two.   Find myself waking up rather a lot at night – could have something to do with conditioning from being in the hospital – or it could just be that it is difficult to find a place (or position) to be in for more than several hours at a time.  Either way, I have pretty much been up at 5:00 or 5:30 every morning so far.  My energy held up much better than I expected yesterday.  I was afraid I would be worn out by afternoon but I was excited to see my dad and stepmom and my brother came out to visit also.  This was defininitely an energy booster.  I think Rube will be putting the lights on the Christmas tree tonight and my folks have been delegated the duty of tree trimming.  Given my analicity and perfectionistic tendencies, I don’t envy them this task.  I can already hear myself – “No, two branches to the left and up three”.  Or something like that!  I will have to let go of these tendencies of mine and savor the moment.  Well, speaking of moments, I think the moment has arrived that I must trudge to the shower and start the process.  It will be worth it once I get there.  Talk to you soon.
