A new year. Hopefully following the worst holidays I’ve ever had. I was so looking forward to Grand Lake, a house rebuilt by my daughter-in-law’s parents after a terrible Rocky Mountain fire a couple of years ago. I rode with my daughter-in-law and granddaughter after traversing many snowy hair-pin turns. I had my own bedroom…

I’ve been sleeping exceptionally well, often waking only once during the night. Yesterday I was surprised by a visit by my son and daughter-in-law. It was nice to talk about my credit card problem, my post office problem, my church pledge problem — get their perspectives. They are going skiing today. The rest of my…

Yesterday I walked to the gym and wondered why I felt so good. Besides sun and no wind, there was 80 % humidity. Because of the bitter cold, my heat was running and probably drove dryness up in my apartment. I’ll have to start boiling water again to add humidity. I enjoyed talking with my…

Checking off my list of things to get done here before February 12. Yesterday I made my packing list for my trip, similar to last time. I also had great joy when my Maryland neighbor called and said my mailbox was full of mail. I had so much misunderstanding with USPS support, I couldn’t tell…

Yesterday I took my walk near the Bluff Lake Nature Reserve. As I was crossing the road I say two bald eagles playing in the sky. The white head and tail feathers made me certain. I had been missing nature’s animals since the prairie dogs went away. There are many more creatures to observe in…

I lost sleep night before last. I am very disturbed that Musk took 26 computer kids into the Treasury Department and demanded they be given access to their files (read only). They don’t even have security clearances. This is a radical invasion of privacy. I wonder if Congress or the courts will stop them, I…

Still tired yesterday. I did just my usual activities. In my apartment, I hear horns blaring and shouts lifting every now and then. My grocery store, just half a block away, has a workers’ strike and they are picketing. The car horns blare in support. In the morning I did my Essentrics workout. I don’t…

Saturday I tried a new hair styling place that I could walk to. The cost was higher than Great Clips, but I didn’t need to use a Lyft to go and return. Good news. But I didn’t like the cut. I won’t have to be concerned here until September. Sunday I zoomed 3 churches. All…

I am back in Maryland, after 5 months in Denver. It is a mind twist to get back onto my routine here. I keep getting flashbacks of how to go about things in my Denver apartment. For example, where is my handy step ladder to get behind my TV set? I flew to Dulles last…

Still sleeping well. And it’s still very cold. 4 inches of snow fell overnight. I was resigned to staying in the house. But a neighbor called and said the roads were clear. And when I looked, so was my driveway. After exercises, piano, and lunch, I drove to Assateague Island, my first since I arrived.…
