Recipes for a Wild Week!

Hang on to your cowboy boots, it is going to be a wild ride of a week! Everyday will be a challenge! Every night will be exhaustion!

Today: It is going to be an absolutely beautifully warm day here on the coastside and I will be gone! Over the pass! All day! Bah! I am going to the other rehab first thing this morning to get in a good workout. Afterwards, I will swing by the adorable butchers to buy for the week then head to mom's. We will spend the day together, which will include finding a new pot for the side yard as one broke while we were gone and looking for new plants to replace the tule. I also need to buy the food for the week at Trader Joe's. Then come home to put it all away and make some dinner.

Which gets me thinking about when I first got sick and began rehab, I could only do two activities of living in a day. Two. After a year of rehab, I could pretty much do what I wanted, within reason. As I think of all that we are going to do today, it is hard to remember when I really could not do anything. I don't ever want to go there again.

Pulmonary rehab, dear readers. That is the answer to a better quality of life.
