Heart sidewalkKatie and Cina, who brought me a Glam Doll donut this morning! I pretended it didn’t contain gluten! It was delicious!

Weather warm enough to have the windows open and listen to the day’s sunny sounds.

After a rough start to the day (dizzy and lots of feelings about the dizzies and the heart and the everything), managing to get out this evening and walk all the way around the block! And then sidewalk chalking my little heart out as the sun set.

Minnesota springtime. What a wonderfully interesting season with temperatures jumping all over the place, cloudy days followed by sunshine, rainy days followed by snow.

Enough energy to get the kitchen cleaned up today. I love my sunny clean kitchen — especially with that new backsplash. What a difference it makes!

Purring Luna. What a sweetheart.

All the sweet cards, messages, rides , meals, and offers to help with driving. I appreciate it so much! It is a strange, strange thing to suddenly not be able to drive myself places. I guess in some states you’re not allowed to drive for a year after an ICD discharge. At least it’s only 3 months here! Yikes.

Sunny sunshine. Still haven’t had the energy to get out for a walk, but it is wonderful to have it streaming into the house.

Pillows.

The delicious meal from Shish that Sara delivered! My progress is more up and down than I expected, making it a truly welcome gift last night!!

Lovely phone call with David. He always makes me laugh. 😀

Watching the rain pour down from partly cloudy skies. Fun to see the raindrops against a light sky in the background. 🙂

Comforting distractions for a day on the couch. I like having books to listen to, shows to watch, sweet sounds like the cats playing, birds, rain. I am also looking forward to the effects of this med dissipating so I can be up and at it again soon!

Easter basketYou guys! The Easter Bunny brought me an Easter basket. I had to hunt for it! 😀

This video, which Katie shared with me on 3/27 last year. It still makes me giggle.

Looking forward to coloring eggs with the kids today. We always have so much fun!

The lovely people in my household who tolerated my Day of Grumpiness and didn’t take it personally.

Rain.
