October 29th, only 3 more writes, counting today’s, for the Ultimate Blog Challenge. It is cloudy. I am tired and achy. Could it be from Monday’s flu shot? It is the first ever flu vaccine for me. Last winter I got sick 3 times, one shortly after the last. The last 2 times were bad and lengthy. Hence, I am trying the vaccine this fall.

I had a busy day yesterday dealing with the grapes. It was no small task washing and juicing them. The juicing is easy but you have to wash the grapes and sort the good from the bad. Then there’s all the cleaning up of the juicer. It’s big and cumbersome. I am finishing the last lot this morning. Five and a half bottles is a good reward. Now we have to remember to drink them.

I survived and had a grape/great day. A few tylenols and coffee with friends eased the pain. It was all worth it. Sometimes we can overcome overwhelm and fatigue by just taking one step at a time. Insurmountable tasks seem to melt away adopting that attitude.
