Hmm...There may be a few short walks in store for me today. Walked out to shake out a rug at 7am - about 85F with sky-high humidity.
Yesterday as I headed out for my walk, I got an text from my daughter - she had an on-line meeting and two rambunctious boys to wrangle, so I spent the morning and early afternoon playing in their yard with them. I took a heat-abbreviated walk in the afternoon, and finished my exercise by going out in the evening and mowing the last 1/4 of our lawn. I took one look at my husband after his morning-long bike ride (before the heat hit) and decided he had enough activity for one day. Except for the $%^& splint on my hand, it felt good - I have enjoyed taking my turn at doing our 1/4 acre of grass ever since he got a lighter, more maneuverable mower.
I absolutely cannot believe the difference in my energy and activity compared to the last 3 summers, when I was basically useless, struggling through each day doing the minimum. I must have had my lung infections for at least 2 years before diagnosis, then 18+ months of antibiotic treatments that wiped me out... I am grateful every day.
