I cooked today for the first time in over a year. It's because of studying mindfulness. I'm not so stubborn about washing dishes. I made a big pot of veg bean stew with raisins, peanuts and red wine vinegar. I'm one big ache now tho. All the strenuous shopping. It's nice to have homemade food tho. I was eager to lie down and do my body-scan meditation. I closed the door so my dog couldn't run around and firmly told her No when she started to fuss and she settled right down.

This morning i didn't go back to bed for the first time since Spring. I also took a shower for the third day in a row. So nice to have fluffy hair.

Exhausted now tho and can't tolerate TV, radio, or anything.

Hugs to all who struggle!
