Spring is upon us with the high being 18C today and sunny. I threw the windows open in the house and got some fresh air and new life into our stuffy place. I have felt SO cooped up in the house for the last 4 months so it was nice to have some fresh air in. This morning Kurt and I went to Costco. That took all my energy. Thanks to my in laws who bought me lunch and allowed me to sit and relax a bit. I came home and had a 2 hour nap in Jack's bed with the sun beating in and the window open. I felt pretty good when I woke up and perhaps the sunshine helped to lift my spirits.
After dinner we walked to the duck pond to see if the ducks were back yet. We saw 2 ducks and 2 geese. Jack cannot wait to go back tomorrow and feed them. I was surprised that I walked to the pond. There's a little bench there so Jack and I sat together and spent some time just watching the ducks. He's so interested in animals and nature. It was a great moment together. Then we walked from the pond up the hill to the park. Sam decided that he wanted "Mommy" to carry him. So I did. I was pretty winded when we reached the swings but we made it. Sam HATED the swings - such a change from last year. So he and I walked to the slides while Kurt and Jack stayed at the swings. They joined us in a little bit and we had fun going down the slide and pushing wood chips through the holes (a game we played once last year and Jack remembered). Then we walked home. I feel pretty good and I'm super proud of myself. I never thought I'd be able to walk the court let alone all that way. It was great to spend time with the kids and Kurt and be out in the fresh air. I am going to try and make it a goal to walk every day that it's nice out. It will help build my strength up and lift my spirits.
Now I am relaxing and doing some laundry. It's nice to have a "normal" kinda of evening. Only 22 days to go and I'm done my treatment part. Here's hoping those days fly by.
