April 2. 2016. This Will Be a Good Day. in April, 2016

I am feeling much MUCH better today. Much to my surprise, I slept well last night even though I spent a large part of yesterday sleeping during the day, too.

You know how when you pick up a prescription at the pharmacy you get a paper with all sorts of information on it? Well, I usually confine these to the recycle trash immediately but yesterday I read the side effects and recommendations for the drug that I am taking to help with the seeping part of soft stools and discovered that emphatically I NEED to drink a lot of water. So I dug out my two water bottles and started back to doing that yesterday. This meant I was up during the night but that is a small thing I can do easily.

I am sitting here at almost 9:30 AM in my pajamas planning what I am going to do with this day. First, I am going to start by putting the laundry away! This is the time of year when I out most of my sweaters away and put T-shirts in their place. I quite enjoy doing this because this means it is spring. This morning I discovered that I left the sliding door to the patio open all night. The screen door is locked so it wasn’t quite as careless as it sounds but since this is the time of year when the heater/air conditioner is off and I have this door open a lot, I need to make a point of checking it is closed and locked before I go to bed.

Plan for today:
Make my bed , get a shower and wash my hair
Make a risotto with mushrooms in the Instant Pot.
Put away clean laundry
Watch “Scandal.” Very interesting and believable characters.

With the sliding door open I can hear the birds. It is definitely Spring here!
