Yesterday I was exhausted most of the day.  I took a nap after my swim, didn’t go to the beach, read, slept, and read some more.  I printed some crossword puzzles from the NY Times and did a few of them.  I had a light lunch.

After lunch, my parents went out to do errands, and I started scanning photos from their album.  They came back just as I’d scanned a photo of my father’s grandmother (whom I knew) with Dad’s baby sister (deceased) holding my brother as an infant, and Dad was thrilled.  So I asked him if he wanted me to leave those pictures on his computer, and of course he said yes.  Mom asked me what I was doing with them, and I told her I was going to put them on my computer to rotate through the screensaver (and maybe the wallpaper).  It’s great to have them.

I felt draggy all the way through supper, but a little better as the day wore on, and when Mom started to play the piano I took my flute out and we played show tunes together.  It’s a far cry from the Bach sonatas, but we still love playing together, and even as we stumble through the show tunes, we do the little things together:  phrasing, shading, and so on.  I got tired, but it was well worth it.

At bedtime, my back was very achy, and my sweetie suggested that I take naproxin for it, and I did.  I slept well and woke up energized.  (I don’t know whether it was the naproxin or just that I’d finally had enough sleep.)

Anyhow, this is our last day; we leave tomorrow (alas).  We had our full walk this morning, and I’ll do my swim.  And then I want to scan some more pictures.  I hope the energy continues.  Two days of sluggishness were a bit worrying.

Happy Thanksgiving!
