Then did hip exercises and meditation. For…

My daughter-in-law walked the Ocean City boardwalk and took a class at Core Club nearby. Meanwhile I colored my hair and showered (these take a lot of my waning energy). My family…

Slept well. My body felt normal after the trauma of fainting. Good thing I didn’t hit my head. My Denver son said I should wear my Apple watch all the time, just in case. I love my Citizen watch, but will just have to settle for looking at it. After my shake and exercises, I…

Slept well. After my shake and exercises drove to Berlin (5 miles) to return a library book and take my walk there. I adored the stately old MD homes on Main Street, large, white, everyone different, spacious lots, well maintained, probably built in a time of prosperity. The library grounds grew food for the needy.…

Slept well. After shake and exercises, took a blood pressure (117/77 – good). Drove to Assateague Island. The day was perfect, sunny, 70’s, lower humidity (60’s), light breeze. I saw 20 ponies on the way in small groups, including young ones. So dignified. The beach was crowded with families — fun to watch the kids…
