It seems many people don't know what "moderate bed rest" is. Well, let me tell you - I experience it every time I go out. Yes, I can still go out and usually it is to lunch. As I told a friend, that is a great outing because I get to travel, rest/eat, then travel back. :) Well this week I have been taking advantage! Monday I met with two old bosses from Alaska National at Hot Stixx across from Freds on Dimond. Yesterday Carol's family friend fixed us lunch at her house and today I met my "other mother" at Charlie's Bakery.
Where does the moderate bed rest come in you ask? Today, I needed to go shopping at Target (is there really anywhere else?) so I chose to go after lunch. I went in to the bra section, tried on a few items, walked to the groceries, picked up my milk, juice, ice cream (yes, yes, and a package of jelly beans) then, feeling tired already, headed for the checkout stand. I stopped along the way to pick up a thank you card for Sue, maker of our lunch yesterday. I was going so slow by the time I checked out the poor man loaded the two bags in my cart for me. lol
I headed home and rested into a nap. That is moderate bed rest... not having enough energy to do much. It pretty much forces me to get enough rest - which is a good thing. I've been told when I get tired I waddle. I'll have to check with mom next week to verify.

Sounds like we should be buying some big floppy hats so we can look the part of "ladies who lunch". I just thought of something really creepy, I left Alaska April 2, 1991 and will be flying back (not for the first time) on April 2, 2011.
I love that you are a lady that lunches - sounds perfect! I do love my Target; they are suggesting that they may open one in downtown Portland that I could walk to after work on my way home - please, please, please let that be true!!! ;) Love you!
Oh - I also bought Jelly Beans today!! :)
I got classic Brachs flavor - nothing like the original. :) Now if they just build a Tar-jay in Fbx it would be FANTASTIC!!
Really mom - it's been 20 years? Ugh, I cannot believe we have aged each of those years. You were here at the 10 yr mark too, just in Sept instead of April. You were here during 9/11 weren't you? I do believe so.
my first reaction to reading this was "that's exactly how I feel" Big difference, Mom says that I don't waddle. Love ya - Dad
I didn't mean waddle, waddle-I just meant that it looked like it is more work for you to walk(tiring) :) Don't tell those babies that this auntie said bad stuff about you!
