Winter 2025

Happy Winter Solstice!! But what a bad cold I have! No fever, so I don’t think it is the flu. I streamed 2 churches on Sunday, followed by lunch, and a lay-down that lasted hours. I couldn’t move. I made cod for dinner. I haven’t exercised for a week. Way too tired. I haven’t blogged…

Monday. Slept well. I am preparing for my trip to VA for Christmas. I went early to get a hair cut. Then I prepared a list (I always do this for travel). After lunch and lay-down, I packed (time-consuming) and shut all the blinds in the house. Tuesday. I attended the Pittsburgh group meditation because…

I am really tired today. I’ve had a rash on my arms, thighs, and feet, which started in VA. I took an anti-histamine tablet which seemed to help. I grocery shopped at Walmart, noticed they had bison, so I bought a pound. An article I read said it was always grass fed. Later I talked…

Slept well. Sunny, cool day inspired me to go to Assateague Island Seashore. I dressed extra warm. But winds were light there. I saw 1 pony (winter coat) and 2 ducks. Probably too cold for the gulls. It’s a refreshing walk. Afterwards I went to CVS, cashing in one of their coupons, followed by laundering…

The previous day tired me out so much that I slept 11 hours. I forced myself to go to the gym and was glad I did. The activity made me feel a little better. I wrote a Happy New Year card and letter to my cousin in Poland and her family, also to some Italian…

Slept well. I am finally feeling better after my long day at my car dealer and shopping. I’ve learned that at my age, it take 2 or 3 days to get over a day of extra energy output. I was happy that today was my Pittsburgh meditation group. I missed the previous two weeks. We…

Slept well. Had my usual breakfast shake and prepared to drive the hour to the ‘Soul Matters’ meeting with my church friends. I took a lunch to eat along the way. I was feeling anxious because I would miss my lay-down and still had to drive back. When I arrived, my host offered me coffee…

Sunday. I zoomed 3 churches. None were good talks, including my Pittsburgh minister. I think I heard that one before. In Denver there was a trans- resident minister speaker. She looked so strange, like a football player in a flowered skirt and large hairy arms. The message was not interesting either. Disappointing. Had lunch and…

Slept much better. As I lay in bed, I looked out my big windows toward the forest in the back. To my delight, I saw a pileated woodpecker, big bird, bigger than a crow, bright red crest, pecking away furiously at my maple tree. It made my day. Did some laundry. Then drove to Assateague…

Sleep well. Did some laundry, then went to the gym. Two of the 3 recumbent bikes were occupied. I was glad to see one was available. I put my iPhone on the holder to show its was being taken while I fetched a wet paper. I wipe down both before and after using the machines.…
