Summer 2026

Slept well. Decided to do what one of my podcasters recommended. Go outside in the sun first thing in the morning for a shot of energy. I found its worked! Then I got my coffee and sat in bed with my phone. Sunday. I streamed my Pittsburgh church – a guest speaker, pretty good. Afterwards…

Slept well. After my shake and exercise, made an appointment with my irrigation company. I don’t think the sprinkling system is working. I weeded my front shrub beds, very bad with mostly a spiky weed. Then I did Essentric exercises followed by blogging. After lunch and lay-down, played piano and talked with my next door…

Slept well. 10 hours. Phone pinging interrupted lay sleep. After shake and exercises, sat in bed with my coffee and phone. In Apple News I was surprised to see my daughter-in-law’s picture, a story about her sorority coaching business in People, a good article. Then I did laundry, sent my heart monitor back to a…

Slept poorly (???) Had to eat and read at 2 AM. When my alarm went off at 6:30, I was deep in sleep. Had to get up. My cleaners were coming at 9. While they were here, I went to Planet Fitness. It was early. Lots of elderly folks, like me. Then I went to…

Slept poorly. Having 2 social visits (neighbor, family) pumped me up. Nothing bad, fun, but a hike in energy. After a midnight snack, reading and melatonin, I fell asleep for 10 hours. After my shake (berries, nuts, avocado, almond milk) and exercises, I drove to Sam’s Club (30 minutes), and spent $200 on food and…

Slept well. After my shake and exercises, talked to my architect cousin on Long Island. I love talking with him. After that I did Essentrics exercises and rested. Following lunch and lay-down, I blogged and took my recyclables to the county bin (10 minute drive). Nice to have them out of my garage. Then I…

Sept well. After shake and exercise, drove to Assateague Island (by air, 1/2 mile, by car, 5 miles, only 1 bridge). Lovely day, warm, sunny, not too hot, breeze. Beach was busy, many families. I walked in the sand with bare feet for the first time this summer, cool water licking in every now and…

Slept well. (Wish this meant I felt good, but I am always fatigued. A doctor told me with osteoarthritis, I have to push and distract myself. So I try.) After a shake nd exercises tried to check in with Great Clips for a hair but. I should have known better. 77 min. wait. We are…

Slept well. After shake and exercises, I dressed to do day 2 of pruning my shrubs. I had all my tools already assembled from yesterday. I chatted with a next door neighbor whom I seldom see. He had ankle surgery and is recovering. These 2 shrubs were very hard. — one was very overgrown and…

Slept well. After shake and excercises, finished pruning the last 2 shrubs (Yay!). So relieved it’s done and happy I could do it (my energy is not what it used to be). Heard from my dentist office about scheduling my crown. Emailed the work and estimates. Surprise! It contained the work for tooth #5 AND…
