Evening

I didn't quite make it for a spectacular sunset. I don't even know if there was one, but I thought this looked peaceful and lovely.

This evening I'm packing up the computer and heading down to Bellevue to my son's house. We're going to celebrate his birthday tomorrow and spend the weekend doing something fun in Seattle. Margie, my dear friend from California is flying in to help.

I'm still having trouble with my back so for me it will be a quiet long weekend which is just what the doctor recommended. I hope it helps because this problem makes me feel about 100 and that's what I look like when I move. Last week it felt so bad that I was certain it was a permanent condition and that I was going to be in pain and walk all bent over for the rest of my life. After some rest and what turned out to be a mercifully slow week at work, I'm starting to feel a little better. A visit to the physical therapist helped a lot, but its been very slow progress. Nevertheless, I feel like I've dodged a bullet and am now vowing to exercise more and walk every evening after work just to keep this from happening again. Wish me luck.
