Tuesday

I woke this morning in more pain that I have felt in over a week. I am doing too much and not able to catch up on my rest. A storm last night kept me awake for a while, but the tossing and turning doesn't change.

I've been able to unpack a few boxes this morning, finding some in the sewing room that actually belong somewhere else. It'll help to get those out of the way and deal with just the sewing. I have already found two more boxes of clothes, which means I can put off my laundry for another day or two. I really think I need to do more resting than working today. The aches are just not going away and my muscles feel numb.

The weather was wonderful this afternoon and so I took my book outside and sat in the sun for a while. It was wonderful to relax and let the sun soak into my skin. Knowing that I have the three main rooms in useable shape is good. It takes a lot of the pressure off of me. I slept a good part of the afternoon, fixed a light dinner and watched a bit of TV.

I had a long converstation with Jeremy about Liam and his worries there. I am anxious for news. Megan and I have been keeping in touch daily as we await news of the unrest between North and South Korea, which will affect tourists and families of military in both Korea and Japan, as well as Guam and the other islands nearby. I know that she is hopeful that nothing comes of this, but I am most concerned. It is so long from now that she would be home.
