Beautiful snowy day

I woke up this morning to snow. Hard to believe, right? For some reason, it was so beautiful today. I was entranced by the flakes as they fell to the ground. Part of me wanted to go out and run around in it, but the other part of me said "Hey Kelley. Remember when you had that spine surgery? It wouldn't feel very nice if you slipped and fell." Thus, I stayed inside in the warm house. I am excited for the next winter when I can go outside and play with Elly and Wilson. I hope they won't be too old or too cool to go sledding with their Aunt Kelley. I had a delicious lunch of leftover chicken from Broussards. Afterwards, I devoted my time to finishing this certain application I've been putting off. It felt very nice to finish it up, put it in an envelope, and hand it to Dad to mail. Unfortunately, I feel like working on applications has taken over the time that I should be walking. At this point, I need to be walking more than sitting and applying to District XYZ. If any of you have my cell phone number, text me and remind me of the benefits of walking. :p Thankfully I did a good bit of walking today that I feel comfortable with hitting the sack. Something tells me regardless of how much I walk the day before, I will still wake up in pain. Regardless, I must obey my doctor's orders. For dinner Mom made my favorite: broccoli and cheese. We also had pork chops and sweet potatoes. I watched a little Toddlers and Tiaras while working on another application. I've found that turning the TV up loud enough entertains me while I make my rounds around the house. Also, I've started wearing house shoes on my feet as I walk because my feet were getting very sore while walking barefoot. Sometimes I go to sleep with lots of lotion on my feet in socks. It helps to keep my feet from drying and cracking in this crazy winter weather. Hopefully tomorrow I can get to see Grandpa or go out in public somehow. Last week's sudden outburst of outings wore me out, but cabin fever is setting in once again. Thankfully, I think this weekend is shaping up to be a pretty great one. :) I'll get to see some people I love spending time with, and possibly relax with Macie while watching a bluray or two. I do need to take this time to heal, even as much as I'd love to be back to normal and do everything on my own. Patience is a virtue, and one that I do not have, haha. Before I know it, it will be summertime and I'll be a bit more independent. Then comes August and hopefully (fingers crossed) a job. There I go getting ahead of myself...I need to stop planning so far ahead. It just stresses me out, which leads to back pain, which leads to more stress. Guess what that means? It's time for bed. Goodnight, everyone! :)
