Day 170

Yesterday was update day on my fitbit, AVG virus protection and Malware. It was also get a prescription at Walgreens day and that was 45 minutes of laughing at the inept and unprofessional way they run the pharmacy. Lucky for me there was a fellow waiter and we had fun. Today is also health update: Dr. E for an eye pressure check, and a trip to the dentist for regular checkup. I will go to PT for Swiss ball exercises.

Day 169

Did slow a bit and hope to get moving today. It is smoky and the air smells like the fire. It’s sad. I will walk unless the air feels unhealthy to breathe. I know Hollie has to keep her doors and windows closed. Senior Center duty and it will be crowded because the menu is pizza and ice cream! I’ll get the column written today and chase down photos of events at the center. September’s issue is aimed at centers.

Day 168

Yesterday was a good one. I like days with parts and that was how it was. Walk, board of supervisors meeting, PT with Linda to learn Swiss ball exercises, out to Karen’s for straw bale discussion and a heavenly massage. I laughed and enjoyed every minute. I woke up sick at 1 AM. I’m thinking it’s a UTI. I’ll go to the office early and get help. I don’t want to slow down for an illness. I’m on a roll.

Day 167

Yesterday was full of laughing. I loved every minute. Starting the day with exercise and walking seems to prime my pump and give me the energy that I want. Today, after I attend the board of supervisors meeting, I will go to the PT clinic and meet with Linda. She will go through my routine with me and suggest new exercises. I told her that I have invested in my health and want to keep getting interest on the investment.

Day 166

The crowd was dwindling at the fair so we spent most of the time talking to each other. It was interesting and I enjoyed the people. The smoke is making my eyes and nose run but I am going to walk anyway. My plan is to do PT exercises, come home and go to the senior center. I love waking up without a pain in my head. The baby dino kale is up and the Chinese greens are doing well.

Day 165

Yesterday was active and productive and I liked every minute of it. Today I’ll get a walk before church. It’s smoky and the Coon fire smoke is visible. Later I will walk to the fair and work in the Democrats booth. I did last year and enjoyed the conversations. I didn’t join in the meeting for “Looking to the future” at the park. Lurking until I’m sure it’s something I want to participate in. It looks like a positive intention.

Day 164

I did something fun! Walked to the fair, met Kathryn and we watched the 4-H kids show their sheep. We wandered through the pigs and enjoyed them. The flower show wasn’t as wow as usual. Not full of beautiful exhibits. I met a few other old people as it was our free day at the fair. Today back to basics: walk and fill up the empty refrigerator. Della is her bouncy self today so we will get out and walk.
