I went for a walk today! YAY! A mile & a half walked in thirty minutes. Mostly flat, but with a rolling incline in the middle. Along a reasonably busy thoroughfare (for safety) with sidewalks on both sides. I was smart, for once, and walked on the shaded side.
Lots of beautiful flowering bushes along the way. Wild roses. Honeysuckle. Peonies too, but they were buried in dappled shade and were only producing a single blossom each.
A chipmunk scared me to death. The road was on my right with bushes & trees & backyards on my left. I was busy looking at the flowers in the yards & saw a rustle in the grass between me & the road. I decided it couldn’t be an animal because a) it was right beside the road & b) it should have seen, heard & smelled me far enough away to escape.
The chipmunk panicked at the last minute. Leaped out of the grass, hopped off my right toe & into the bushes. Probably raced home to mama- “OMG, some fat lady almost stepped on me!” As for me, I managed not to scream but only just. My heart nearly leaped right out of my chest.
Pigged out on mac & cheese again. I think I’m going to avoid buying it in future to put off temptation. If I do buy it I will be sure to buy a brand I don’t like, thus avoiding the problem. The other meals today I did well, though.
