I was feeling huffy and disappointed that this blogging site (WordPress) changed the way we compose our posts. The "Commands" had changed. I don't always struggle with change, but I often resent it: nobody asks my opinion. 🙄
For one 🤏 tiny example, it was obvious how to "Save a Draft". Now the menu option has a less clear title, found under "Preview". Or so it seems.
This is often the way things are in the computer and internet world. Just when we have something figured out, it changes. It's so frustrating, but if one can keep calm, it can often be sorted out again, relearned. Still frustrating that we need to do it.
Yesterday morning, I slipped on wet grass on a slight slope in our yard. I went down hard, and laid on the ground swearing and crying for some time (at least five minutes 😉)
Eventually I got to my feet and considered myself lucky. I hadn't hit my head on any of our many decorative rocks. Maybe my shoulder wasn't actually "torn".
After landscaping just a little more and doing some errands, though, I was really hurting! I felt sick, and frantic to get home from McBride and get through lunch.
I put heat on the shoulder, rested, and took painkillers and it felt better by nightfall.

Today's plan is to go thrift-shopping with friend Wendy. I actually labelled my list for the day (which will include Costco and other stops), "Flight Plan for June 7".
Driving many hours, and even the shopping, will be easier on the body than digging in the flower beds and moving rocks for edging. My shoulder and hip feel better today.
I can't hold a coffee cup, but I can drive. 😉👍
Hope your day is satisfying.
Love, Ann

Melissa Bee Poetry:
I didn't do the dishes
and I didn't pay the bills
I didn't fold the laundry
and the world
it loves me still
I didn't scrub the floors
and I didn't change the sheets
I didn't vacuum anything
and the world
it loves me heaps
I didn't weed the garden
or get the front lawn mowed
I didn't water my flowers
and the world
it loves me loads
I didn't wash my hair today
or deal with yesterday's regrets
I didn't stretch or exercise
and the world
it loves me yet
I didn't do so many things
and some - perhaps - never will
But the sun rose up and lit the day
and the world
it loves me still
-MB
