Phoned Megan this morning to let her know "Mommy" is still OK. My closest neighbors came to check on me. One of them went to the pharmacy for me, so I haven't been out at all today except to put water in the patio fountain. A friend telephoned to ask about me, and we'll do something together about the middle of the week.
I've decided that I'm not going to do anything any more that I "ought" to do. Only if I'm excited about something will I do. This stroke, minor though it was, has made me change my perspective on what's important. I've been a do-gooder for so many years, I've forgotten that I need to do-good for me.
Been thinking that physical therapy will start Wednesday, but when I looked at my calendar, it's Tuesday. The shoulder is actually a lot better than it was a week ago, but it's still painful at times, and the muscle spasms. That's what really hurts.
I'd sure love to have a housekeeper. The place is a mess, and it's getting to me. But I'm afraid a housekeeper would come in, take one look, throw up her hands, and leave. So, I guess it's up to me. Tch!
Catch y'all tomorrow.
Shalom

It asks much of you at present.
You give strength and courage to others just by being good to yourself.

I'd love to be your housekeeper. I'd do it for free! I'll even give your cat a warm bath and I'll arrange all your books in an orderly fashion! I'm so sorry that I live too far away to be of any real help. Believe me, if I lived next door, you wouldn't want for anything. I'd pop by every evening and cook and clean for you and make you laugh. I make a very good nursemaid, too.
Please get well soon, dear Chaya!
Lots of Love,

Yes, you must take care of you first! Or you won't be doing good for anyone!
I would so enjoy cleaning your house for you!
Stay well. It makes me feel better to see how well you are writing.
Hugs and prayers

D and my son helped drop about 9 or 10 trees and get them to log deck but the clean up will wait till all this damn SNOW is gone. Somewhat like doing the dishes up after a good meal.
You must take care of your self for dying is easy but all of those who LOVE you will suffer for years at the empty void left.
