Going for a walk ...

When I am starting to feel a bit better, I sometimes forget how limited my energy is- I can easily end up overdoing it. Yesterday was a sunny day, so I decided to take a walk to the public library (about a 20 min. walk). I started out feeling like this was such a good idea until I got about half way and realized I was tired out already! I wasn't sure if I should turn around and go home or keep plugging away. Well I kept walking, although very slowly now and thinking this was not such a good idea! The library looked very far away! I did make it though and spent awhile resting and reading magazines. I had brought my handy dandy knapsack of course thinking I would load up on books. Now I realized I had to take this load home, so I wisely left some of the books behind. I started to make the trip home, wondering if maybe I should call a cab! I was walking very slow by this time, and now getting hungry. I stopped in at Shoppers Drug Mart which by the way sells lots of great food. After a snack and another rest I made it home! I will not say how long this excursion took me, but I won't be so adventuresome next time!
