Surprises



The FedEx guy brings surprises sometimes. Today it was these - a dozen beautifully dipped chocolate covered strawberries from Todd and Tara in Kansas City. I was able to resist munching one long enough to take a photo.

Taking it Easy

I've been taking it easy today, resting and recuperating. I was glad I did because this evening Greg's brother, Steve, came out from Joplin. I always love visiting with Steve and fortunately I was able to be up and alert a long time while he was here. I think it's safe to say that Steve was surprised by how well I'm moving and functioning.

I'm certainly not feeling like doing much of anything - merely getting my pills down and keeping myself fed is about all I can manage - but I'm doing better than I expected to be doing at this point.

I just finished Rebecca Ryan's book, "Live First, Work Second," today. She will speak at the chamber dinner Monday evening and I'm hoping to feel like going. I so want to see her. I'm still mulling the book over. I'm sure I'll have more to say about it later. She draws heavily on Robert Putnam, as well as other sources.

Well, it's back to bed for me... I can't seem to decide if I'm up or down or inbetween for any amount of time.
