I like it too! Plus it saves cluttering my place up with laundry racks. I don't have a dryer. We tenants can hang laundry in the basement where the washing machines are, but it takes a long time to dry down there. I do that only in winter.

I felt very inactive today. Didn't even go to the farmer's market or run errands down in the town.

What I did do however was start clearing papers out of an old binder from when I was still working. I didn't throw everything out, but quite a bit. There are still many binders and boxes to go, but this was a start. It's hard partly because I haven't given up on my professional work emotionally altho it is clear to most of me that I can't go back to that work at all.

Of course I did my duolingo lesson, because I always do.

I filmed an animal out the window, hoping I might be able to see on my phone what animal it was (I think a stone marten, but it could have been just a squirrel. I'd prefer the latter, martens can be a pain when they move into buildings...). My eye sight is so bad, I could just see the general shape and movement. But somehow I managed to delete the little film :'(  But at least I tried :applause:

I finally signed up for a freebie conference on aligning the misaligned body and actually took part. https://www.cptsd.org/forum/index.php?topic=15756.msg163345#msg163345
It's an opportunity to learn and expand my view on some things. Plus for me it's really a precursor to doing any physical exercise. Also I feel a little hope, I guess, that tiny little spark I need to get up and continue.

Well, at least on Sunday I did two ankle exercises repeatedly. The toe exercises not so much, but due to the ankle exercises I then went on to flexing and generally moving my toes for the rest of the day and even now lying in bed, I'm doing that. It's a start.

There was another email from the foot and ankle guy, part pep talk, part reminder for tomorrow. I read it, so that's something.
