Happy Autumnal Equinox Day!!! (If you’re puzzled that means the daylight hours equals night hours in the fall.) Yesterday was a most disappointing day. I was looking forward to Ballet on the Beach at 5:30 PM. I didn’t have to drive but a few miles to Assateague State Park. For some reason my arthritis was…

I drove to Assateague Island, maybe my last visit before I leave for Denver. The tide was extraordinarily high. I had to walk carefully. I met a middle aged couple who was very friendly — their first time on Assateague Island — so enthusiastic. They compared it to the New Jersey barrier islands which were…

Monday night I had another hours long headache. I had a snack, took Tylenol, melatonin, and went back to sleep, sort of. Between dreams would become aware that I still had my headache. It did not go away until I sat in bed sipping my coffee an looking at my phone. This was my Pittsburgh…

My trip here to Denver was the best yet. But that does not mean it was easy on me. In my 80’s I get very tired. I got up a 6 AM on that Tuesday. My neighbor dove me to the bus station. I took a shuttle to Baltimore International Airport. My fellow travelers were…

Last evening was awful. My TV was working normally in the early afternoon. When I returned from a walk there was no sound (????). My son and family were at University of Georgia for homecoming. I spent 2 hours with Comcast support. One agent dropped me after a while. The second agent seemed knowledgeable. We…

It’s great to be back to ‘normal’ life after my left shoulder replacement surgery. I spent one night in the hospital, a week in rehab with physical therapy and occupational therapy. My son picked me up at discharge and brought me to my apartment. I had dinner with them for 2 nights. Recuperating from surgery…

Yesterday was good. I zoomed 2 churches, both with interesting sermons and good music. I have been very tired. Maybe quadrupling my blood pressure medicine has something to do with it. I’ll go along for a while taking my pressure. I may cut back if it seems prudent. I walled 30 minutes, visiting the prairie…

Tuesday was. my Pittsburgh meditation group. I was surprised one senior member, older than me, had traveled to India with her family to scatter her husband’s ashes in the Ganges River (must do tradition). Then I was even more surprised when she was coming to Denver to visit family and suggested we get together. I…

I overdid it yesterday, for now. I walked 15 minutes to the gym, did 10 minutes on the recumbent bike, and walked back. I also prepared a slow cooker recipe, which was too salty. My healing body needed that energy. I slept my usual 9 hours with 2 potty breaks, but woke up with an…

Yesterday I zoomed 2 church services. Both were emphasizing All Souls Day in remembrance of those significant people who had passed. Both services read member names who died this year, then others in previous years. This is always a sad service. Ushers passed around boxes of kleenex. I watched part of the Broncos / Panthers…
