Today I had a good time. T came over to the house to pick me up at 10am then we blasted over to a piece of property by the hospital to pick up a washer and dryer. We loaded the washer and dryer into the truck and drove them up to her place in blaine. After unloading the truck we drove down to birch bay to pick up some boxes and a big chair to drive back to her place in blaine. Now she has has all her stuff in one place and is so much happier. After a day of hard work she rewarded me with a good Mexican lunch and a beer from a restaurant in ferndale. We then arrived back at the house in the early afternoon and shot the breeze till she had to go to an appointment at 3.
Now I am at home thinking about how much I enjoyed getting out of the house. It feels really good to help someone out especially when they helped me out previously. T was one of the largest helps in our move from the third floor down to ground level. There was something about being out and about that felt kind of refreshing. The problem is I dont have many friends that need help moving stuff all the time and I do not have much money to spend on my days off if any. So being able to help someone move something is always nice.
This is driving me closer and closer to buying a mountain bike. That way I can take a ride around town and enjoy the weather or the trees or something and get a little bit of an excerise in the process. Sometimes being couped up at home 3 out of 7 days in a week is just a bit much. Sure I could go hiking or something with my friends but most of the time they are not awake during the day since they work all night long. I need to find a few more ways to entertain myself.
To getting out of the house every now and then. Another change in the lifestyle I am already slowly trying to change.

A mushroom has emerged LOL…… I refer to people that stay inside all the time as mushrooms, ask Teeny LOL. Well, if you like to help people and need a reason to get out of the house, there is always volunteer work, at animal shelters they need dog walkers, there is some excercise in that, or old age homes need people to help take some of the folks outside for some air, around the grounds etc…or just play a game of cards with them etc….lots of things that may actually get you more involved in your community and make some more friends (one’s not in the casino work)…what ever you do,yes, walk, ride then walk, all good and your brain will be happy too,
Thanks for posting somewhere I visit

Good for you helping your friend & always good to return the favour like that too
about a route again, you will IF you have to, but you still need awake time with the 3 kids, the wife, do your on line course etc…the brain can only tackle so much at one time so only do it if you have to ok?
BIG HUGS nan r oxoxoxoxo
