Today I decided to begin to do some things for myself. There are some things that I haven’t been doing because I cannot completely do them alone or no one wants to let me. There comes a point where I need to start doing some things for myself to save my sanity. It is good for me mentally and physically. While I am chemo sick, I concede that I cannot do much of anything, but when I am well I need to start taking care of some things on my own.
I made myself the first meal I have made since my mom got here in late November! After I did my Zumba, I made myself breakfast! That’s right...I made eggs, turkey bacon, and whole wheat toast. I cleaned up most of my mess, but my mom still did my dishes. I guess that needs to be next on my list of independent acts.
The other thing I did for myself was pick up some things at the grocery store, well mostly by myself. Alan dropped me off at the grocery store and went home to drop off the family and take care of the dog. I rolled myself around the grocery store with a basket on my lap. I picked up the things I needed and by the time I was ready to go to the cashier Alan showed up. He pushed me to the soda aisle so he could get his soda and then to the check out. It was quite nice to just grab a few things and be alone for a few. I couldn’t have done it if I needed more items, but it is nice to do something.
The rest of the day was great. We tromped around the Seattle Aquarium, EMP, and the Space Needle. I think my sister really likes Seattle. I even did well on my diet today. We are all tired from the day’s journey, and hopefully I didn’t pick up any sick germs from all the people I was around today.
