My main accomplishment for the day has to have been splitting the Tempered Glass concert at White Blossom, only two weeks after the event itself. OK, that's not all that great, but I still have recordings from a year or more ago that haven't been split up and posted. So go me anyway.

Since Tuesday's "being mindful" group session I've been trying to get back into the habit of meditation. I find that it's been comparatively easy to slip back into my old (from 40 years ago) habit of meditating while waiting for things like appointments. We'll see whether I can keep it up.

There's still a lot of muscle tension in my left shoulder; I'm going to try taking a rolling laptop bag today (for both the laptop and my shoulder bag) and seeing whether that helps. Sitting still and trying to be aware of my body seems to have helped, too.

The other major bit of news was Colleen ordering groceries from safeway.com to take some of the shopping load off me. I also felt free to go in to work in the afternoon, knowing that Ali was around to help with the shopping.

Do the grocer's deliver, or do you go pick them up?

[mdlbear]

They deliver. You select a 2-hour window, and they deliver from the store closest to you.

Duh, why didn't I think of suggesting the grocery delivery? When you feel overburdened, remember that the little compensatory ideas like that can add up to a lot of free time over the course of a week or so.

Baby steps still get you across the room or up the stairs.

As you say, it's gradually getting better as Colleen starts drawing on her support network. It's something I've never had to do/been able to do/understood how to do, so I'm glad she can.
