One of our top priorities when moving to Oregon was going to be travel. We are good at figuring our calendars, our intended destinations and our budgets, but we forgot to figure in our health! Not that we are getting old…..but when we wake up we definitely check to see what is and isn’t working. That’s something new.
We have doctors. We have pills. Our diets are pretty good. We try to exercise regularly.But still there are days when you wake up with an ailment that really throws you for a loop.
Last week we attempted a trip to the Pendleton Rodeo. I ended up going to an Urgent Care, and Emergency Room and my doctor’s office before finding out I just have a pulled muscle. But it has put me out of commission for two weeks. Gabi is having an issue with her leg that is also taking it’s toll on her activities, sleep, and visits to doctors and urgent care offices.
Joe, meanwhile, is our cook, driver, mail carrier and driver. We all have our jobs. (I just don’t think that is the job Joe signed up for!!)
So the moral of today’s story is to get out there and do what you can, while you can. Only take a day off when your body says so. Enjoy!
