I'm up and moving slowly.
Book sale at the women's event went ok, sold $133. Better than a kick in the pants but made a total of $20 for the Resource Centre. Not good use of my volunteer time. On the other hand, it was fun to 'sell' again - pointing out neat books that will interest people or make good gifts.
I didn't stay upstairs for the program, instead sitting in the basement. I was going to read a book I'm trying to read without paying for it (!) but someone had an asthma attack and so I dealt with that. Somewhere, rattling in the back of my head was the factoid that coffee can stop an asthma attack and it did. (I think the caffeine opens the blood vessels which then relax the airways, or it might be the heat and the caffeine combined.)
My book display was set up next to boxes of books from the church's giant book sale which I had missed so I went through those and picked out 4. And I pulled 4 from the church library shelf and will write reviews for the church newsletter. It isn't a huge library but it is there and a number of the books are quite good (I know because they are on the reading list for my course.)
I slept well after reading another chapter from the current book I'm reading. That gave me a sermon idea so I made notes on that as well and then turned out the light just before 11.
I woke up pain-free and not even sore. Felt a bit sore when I got up but that passed while I was on the treadmill (or my back is hurting more, not sure.) Yawning doesn't hurt at all now, nor does talking.
I had scrambled eggs with bacon bits and veggies (sort of an omelet hybrid) but I'm still hungry so am holding out for lunch. I decided I didn't like my shredded wheat hot so tried the eggs instead. In the past, I've found that anything other than a heavy grain for my breakfast won't fill me. That hasn't changed.
Time for me to start making my soup for lunch. My jaw is still making squishy noises and I'm not going to try hard chewing just yet. But it is definitely better so I'm encouraged.
