It was a good day!

I did a little work around the house - replacing a couple of light fixtures. Nothing ever goes according to plan, so it took me a little longer than I initially thought it would. But, I survived without any problems, which, I suppose, can be one definition of success when one tinkers with electricity. However, the new light fixtures work fine.

More importantly, my son and his 2 daughters came over for dinner tonight. The older one loves tacos so that's what we had for dinner. Normally, I wouldn't even mention it. But, tacos were something that I could not have eaten during that 100 day period because of the fresh tomato and the lettuce. As I said the other day, we take so much for granted. Without a doubt, I really appreciated the meal because it was denied to me for so long. Just wait until I have my first drink! Of course, one drink and I'm sure that I'll be under the table - but it'll be worth it!

After dinner we played Yahtzee - the 8 year old loves to play the game. It was a lot of fun. The 4 year couldn't play but she could certainly throw the dice from time to time - actually throwing a couple of Yahtzees! I played the role of the gracious host and finished last!

Tomorrow, I think it will be a little more painting. It feels great to be able to do something constructive. But, I am not pushing myself. When I get tired, I stop. If I don't feel like doing something, I don't do it.

Everything in moderation...
