What a difference a day can make

I went for a walk this morning. I didn't go until about 9am because when I got up earlier it was 52 degrees and there was dense fog. I did my usual loop in about 40 minutes. I was so glad to get out there and walk. My knee is bothering me more today though. It's kind of catching when I bend it. It's not too painful but I can feel it.



When I got home from my walk I had breakfast and got the laundry going. Then I took my morning nap. After my nap I got back to doing the laundry. Kitty called me in the afternoon and asked if I wanted to go out for a drive with her. My first reaction was to say 'no' because I wasn't sure how David would feel about me going out but I decided that I needed to go out so I said 'yes'. I was kind of panicky when I called David to tell him that I was going out. I wasn't asking if it was okay I was just telling him what I was doing. He didn't seemed too thrilled but I expected that reaction from him. So I took a shower and Kitty picked me up around 1:30pm.

We went downtown and had lunch at Quiznos. We both had a turkey, bacon & guacamole sub. It was delicious and nutritious. I also got a raspberry iced tea to take with me on the drive. It started raining as we headed up the pass but we just kept going. Kitty was really thoughtful about her driving knowing that I'm a nervous passenger. She is a a very good driver. She made me feel very comfortable which is good because we went on a 2+ hour drive up to Cripple Creek. We took a different road up there that I've never been on before. I was a gorgeous ride especially once the rain stopped.


We talked about all kinds of things while we were driving - religion, God, Jesus, politics, kids, dogs, you name it we talked about it. It was so much fun. The only thing that could have made it better was if Lisa had been with the two of us. But I had a great time with Kitty. I was happy because I didn't spend the whole drive thinking about David. I was able to relax and enjoy our ride. I did realize when I paid attention to my thoughts that my reference point for everything is David. I had to keep myself from relating everything to him. I gave it a valiant effort. lol

We're going out for a ride so I'll continue this later.
