No Energy to Energetic - Sunlight makes difference

So yesterday was not at all sunny, today is and I can sure notice the difference in my mood!  

 Yesterday, bleak and I felt I had little to no energy, today though I am ready to take a brief walk in the Sunlight.  I have been nursing my two feet for a few days, as they wish to grow things that hurt me to walk.  My feet are recovering, and I want to use them today with the Sunlight!  I can walk using my new 'squigglies' that really have label of Metatarsal pads, and they seem to be working in that the feeling I have had of pebbles or rocks beneath the bottoms of my feet are less achy with the Metatarsal squiggly pads.  After 2-3 days of staying off my feet, I want to walk a bit today, not much as I do not want the feeling at bottom parts of my feet again!  And of course, my weight has gone up by a few pounds as not exercising in traditional (daily walks) fashion  Diabetic, and cannot afford the extra pounds at all.  

  Today, beside the Sun outside, my son has checked in, he hasn't been on the 'family text thread' for 3-4 days and I wondered if he was busy with his work, or was his family (my granddaughters)  struggling with someone having Covid or testing positive for Covid, or maybe getting the vaccinations for Covid.  Nothing of Covid, he was busy, and good to hear from him.  

  Wanting for my husband to phone maybe pharmacy daily to determine if a person scheduled to get the Covid vaccination has deferred, leaving spot and vaccination open for other use, as vaccination would go to waste otherwise. 

   Daughter is feeling herself and freedom of selfness today.  Glad for her, 

   Other daughter doesn't reveal much about her and her family personal life, she did text relief that the recent Inauguration is done without violence.  Pretty much what my particular algorithm of Facebook is telling me, mostly photos of the young poetress, and her great message. 

   That about does it for today.  Sweet husband rearranged our bedroom so that we have different sides of the bed since we tend to sleep sideways on opposite sides of the bed.  Now we will be together in our sleep hours,

 
 

Uh Oh, Family Disruption - Covid catching up?

 Got an announcement yesterday from son in law, and rather than go into the drama that announcement has created, will put it down to the effects Covid, mask safety, distance safety and watching out for others is having with the long term effects.

  Keeping this a brief writing as really just wanted to record that it happened, not the how's and why's of it happening.  Not easy to be the elderly parent in this situation.  What more is there to say, so many opinions out there now, and the Capitol building, the inauguration of new President to happen in a few days, and there has been gearing up by the National Guard, local police, to keep the day somewhat safe.  That is the inauguration day.  Meanwhile guessing, cause I do not know, hearing, reading that the group who are considered insurrectors, seditioners, rioters, etc. of the Capitol are slated to do similar things at state Capitols.  So lots of people have their attention on these national matters just now.  

  I find it difficult in light of the national agenda at large this week, and now my family dynamics seemingly in somewhat of state of  disrepair for me to find satisfaction in whatever used to occupy my attention for this time we have been self-quarantined. 

   On a somewhat more upbeat note, I did find some relief for my feet in the Metatarsal pads, having arrived  yesterday, that I can wrap around the ball of my foot.  I call them squigglys cause they are like the carpets we have in kitchen at sink area and stove area.  Newly purchased and way thickened.
