Got up, did Qigong, went for a long walk, came back and slept for two hours, and then, thanks to TurboTax Online, completed my income tax returns and e-filed them. Yay, hey, hooray!

The TurboTax site was really easy to use and made the process easy and quick. Since I didn't have a complex return and I didn't make any money last year except SS, I owe $0 to the feds and the state. And that's true even though I didn't have any withholdings. Oh happy day!

The extra length of the walk today felt good (even if it did put me to sleep for a couple of hours). I awoke to a team of tree trimmers cutting down/out an old redwood stump. The chainsaw and wood chipper formed an appropriate background to the preparation of my tax returns.

I'm scheduled to have my blood taken tomorrow for Rebecca's work on my nutrition plan. I'm having a comprehensive wellness profile done--measuring over 50 items. Also seeing the chiropractor tomorrow as well. It'll be a wellness day! But, every day is a wellness day!

Not seeing Rebecca on Friday--she had to reschedule because of something that came up that rearranged the PDTeam's assignments. Will see her on Monday instead.

Felt good today, despite need to take a nap. I slept well last night--I was a bit tired from doing the yoga class--or more accurately, I was really relaxed and almost fell asleep sitting in the living room. Also, the big dinner from DeeDee's helped some in that respect.

Have to not eat for 8 to 10 hours before giving blood tomorrow. And drink gallons of water (or so it seems). I seem to be regaining some of my lost weight. Still using the tightest belt notch, but it's starting to feel snug once again.

I believe I'm moving from thinking of myself as a person with this "condition" to a person who is "healthy" and once had a "condition." It's happening slowly and almost imperceptibly, but I find myself starting to have those thoughts. May there be more of them and fewer of the previous ones. I realized sometime this week that I had begun making this shift in attitude. It helps to be getting stronger and feeling more healthy.

I'm starting to really enjoy the freedom I have to structure each day and continue with the various practices. What a blessing! I'm so grateful for the way the universe has created such an opening for me. I am truly lucky to be cared for in this way!
