Slept well. Cold is gone. Antibodies from my bad cold a month ago must have kicked in. After my morning shake and exercises, the hardscaper came to see what work I needed to replace my deteriorating wooden step leading from my sun room to the patio. He suggested brick and would get back to me…

Slept well. Played piano, then walked in the neighborhood. The temp was in the teens and wind chilll -1. I bundled up ready to cut my walk short if necessary. But I didn’t. No one was out walking dogs. As I approached home I stopped to talk to a neighbor, a woman in her 40’s…

Slept well. It is below freezing and very windy, too cold to walk outside. Did 2nd day of Essentric exercises in a row, wondering if I’d feel better; no difference. After lunch and lay-down I talked to a neighbor on the phone. She is my best buddy here, even though our politics are completely different.…

Slept 10 hours. Did my usual flexibility and balance exercises, laundry, blood pressure (115/73) and headed to Planet Fitness. Another cold, sunny day, I was able to get a recumbent bike and all my usual machines. I stopped at Hallmark to buy a birthday card for my son. After lunch and a lay-down I found…

Slept well. Woke up starving I was fasting for a lipid blood draw. I made decaf coffee in my Keurig – warm, tasty – helped a lot. The blood draw was routine. The practitioner did a good job. Noticing her accent, I asked where she was from and she replied, ‘Greece’. I had brought a…

Slept well. After my usual shake and balance/flexibility exercises, I prepared for the church meeting here at my house in the afternoon. I needed to arrange chairs in my sun room (better light), print copies of my agenda and the readings of Soul Matters (topic resilience ), prepare the counter which will hold drinks (tea,…

Sunday. Zoomed 3 churches. Best was the minister in my Pittsburgh church. He had a lot to say about underdogs and had it related to how we feel with countering the Trump administration. Underdogs sometimes do win and we must keep up the fight, in whatever way we can. After lunch and lay-down I did…

Slept well. Feeling good today, arthritis not too bad. My RPMs on the bike were mostly around 50. Afterwards I went to a jewelry store to get a new gold clasp for my necklace that holds my husband’s wedding ring and UU gold chalice (my two life supports). I got a bigger clasp since my…

Slept 10 hours. All the tasks I’ve been putting off got attention. Called PBS first, hoping to get a human. I learned I was having trouble getting Passport because the PBS app is down. They will call when it is up — could be a day or a week. Bought a shuttle ticket from West…

Early morning. I set my alarm for 6 AM in order to leave by 8. I didn’t get all my early exercises done, but close enough. The CT scan went well. I am eager to see the result relating to the module on my lung. Afterwards I stopped at Sam’s Club, mostly to buy the…
