I have been feeling tired lately. I
wonder if I have a small bit of flu. This afternoon I took a nap before I packed
my backpack with books to deliver to the little free libraries in the next
neighborhood. We do have a library two blocks from our house. I was
disappointed to see it lying on the ground. Rather than go home to lighten my
load I trudged on to the closest library that is by a church. Unfortunately that
library was no longer there. Even thought the books are paperback I had at
least 25 five of them weighing me down. I do not know what I looked like, but I
felt as if the ground was pulling me down.
Besides the weight of the books I had
to pay attention to cracks in the sidewalk as well as some rather large
puddles. My shoes were ok with a little water, but an inch was too much so I had
to follow the steps in the snow at the side. Sometimes it was a bit icy and
required a sharp eye for that safe spot to step. Possibly half an hour later I finally
reached a working library. I gave them a generous gift of twelve books in their
bare space. Even though I had planned to be done by this time, I headed off to
an elementary building that has a library. A church next to it also has a
library. I gave each of them a selection and then came home with a lightened
load.
I was quite tired when I got home and
impressed that I had walked 11,000 steps today. I moved a bit slower folding
some clothes and put away the dishes from noon. That seemed to revive me enough
to fix supper. Leroy’s throat is not up to singing. I decided to use that as an
excuse not to go to choir tonight. We will be gone the next time we sing so it does
not feel so crucial that we be there. I do find the singing a lift for my
spirits even we do not sing in church I still like to go.
