I'm almost normal, and it is a typical Saturday.

It's cold and windy in my neck of the woods. But, it turns out that this is the best Saturday in a long time. I mean a long, long time.

I made several errands for my ailing wife this morning. She has been ill with a stomach ailment, similar to one that I suffered two weeks ago. It feels good to be the caregiver for a change. Being healthy is a gift not to be taken lightly.

Right now she is taking a nap, while I listen to the wind blow outside.

After lunch, I put on my old clothes and changed oil in my truck. When I finished that, I put on a new dimmer switch--a repair that had been waiting since the middle of August. I haven't attempted repair work like this since June. Wow. I'm almost normal!

I did notice while fixing the truck that getting up and down off the ground takes effort. I'm going to have to practice this so that I get better. My new workout will include multiple repetitions of laying down and getting up. Sounds like fun.
