Summer 2026

Slept so-so. I had an upset stomach (???). After an hour I took Pepto Bismol and more melatonin. In the morning I felt better, except my arthritis was killing me. Shake and exercise. I did laundry and Essentric exercises. After lunch and lay-down, I drove to the dry cleaners that mended my duvet cover, ripped…

Slept well, but felt draggy. Maybe the smoky air was depressing me, even though I had air conditioning. After my shake and exercises, I took my blood pressure and did emails. Then I went on a service site I had used successfully before(Thumbtack) and asked for someone to fix my kitchen floor. I had 3…

Slept well. Lots of bad dreams, though. (???) After shake and exercises, II noticed my printer was not working. Things I had sent to it days ago weren’t there. I did a number of things (re-booting my laptop, restarting network) but nothing worked. In the meantime I streamed my Pittsburgh church, always comforting. After that…

Slept well. I had a busy day ahead. My cleaning people came late. I took my laptop upstairs for a while. When I came down, they were gone. Everything was good. They worked quickly and efficiently, about an hour. I checked my latest blood draw report. To my surprise I tested low in sodium. Amazing…

Slept 10 hours. After shake and exercises, got my coffee and sat with my phone in bed. It was dead and not charging after being plugged in all night! I thought it might be the battery (6 years old). I stopped at Batteries +. They had a battery for me, but the guy did not…
