Canceled

The Winter Storm Warning that was posted for today, has been canceled.

The ONE TIME this season when I was forward thinking, and stopped after work yesterday to do my grocery shopping, along with throngs of similarly bright suburbanites... and the storm gets canceled.

Sigh.

Oh well....at least I still don't have to go out today, unless I decide that I want to.

We did still get a substantial snowfall, but, so far, the temperatures are staying pretty warmish, so the roads are probably just wet.

They were calling for 8 to 12 inches. We got about 3 so far.

Maybe 4.

Anyway, the plan for today is to try to focus on actually relaxing. The stress and anxiety of the past, oh, YEAR, has been wearing on me. My health is a delicate balance, with adrenal glands that have caved from such ongoing stress in the past.

When the insurance tech came and drew my blood, and took my vitals, he said my blood pressure was 106 over 68. That's low, considering that I was pretty freaked out about having to do a blood test.

"Wow, you must be very relaxed," he said. I just nodded.

When my blood pressure was that low before, it was during the time that my adrenals weren't working. So, that was a bit of a red flag for me.

So, this weekend, I have no definite plans, other than to stay close to home, rest, read, cook, and watch a movie or two.

Let's see if I can actually pull that off!

I am so used to having to get stuff done on the weekends, that making time to just relax is pretty foreign.

But, no one has seen my condo since early November. I doubt that I need to be as vigilant in keeping it "showing ready" as I have been... so there aren't even many chores to be done.

The dance thing has virtually disappeared since my injury in September. No one asks me to join in anymore, despite my asking when we are going to start rehearsing again.

There is nothing pressing that I have to do. It feels strange, but I am going to just try to relax.

Wish me luck!

I recommend a nap. You're going to wear yourself out relaxing. I'll send you some of my inertia juju. That'll slow you down.
