Several NSVs in One Day
It's wonderful to be able to have the stamina to handle a long day out better.
Yesterday we took our 3-year-old to ride a pony for the first time. Then we went to the little train next door -- AND I FIT IN ONE OF THE LITTLE SEATS ON THE TRAIN. The last two times I've had to stay back at the station and wait for Papa/Aunties and kid to return.
Then we drove to Venice Beach and I WAS ABLE TO WALK OUT TO THE SURF AND BACK WITHOUT DYING. I had a few seconds of huffing and puffing, put recovered pretty quickly.
Later we went shopping at two stores and STILL HAD ENERGY AFTERWARDS. After driving home, I HAULED IN AND PUT AWAY THE STUFF WE HAD BOUGHT.
My husband was bushed from driving all over greater Los Angeles, but I felt pretty good except for my feet. SO I TOOK A BATH AND MY SIDES DIDN'T TOUCH THE SIDES OF OUR BIG SOAKING TUB.
Even a couple months ago, the shopping alone would have wiped me out. And I was afraid to get in the tub because I was worried I wouldn't be able to pull myself out.
The restaurant experiences were pretty awful (I'm still on mushies), but I know that will sort itself out in time.

One food makes you larger, and one food makes you small...
