    What a great Friday. Had a physical therapy session today for my right arm, bought an over the door pulley so I can do more exercises at home. Went to Walgreens to pick up meds and some things on sale - haven't been there is a long time. Decided to hold off on buying food until Sunday to be able to use up more on hand/pantry/freezer.

    Spent an hour at the pool - 15 minutes doing exercises in the cooling water and then reading and lounging for the rest - very relaxing.

    Going to be picking up around the house some tonight and doing a little machine sewing. Planning on taking it easy - this is the first of four relaxing days!!
    Travel light. The baggage of the past can only hold you back.
