Stockpiling Fitness
Thursday, August 31, 2017 30 comments Read an interesting short article this morning which comforted me quite a bit. Apparently senior age adults who've exercised their whole lives (except during periods of illness and recovery) obtain enduring health benefits. That would ... Read more

At the Gym
Sunday, August 27, 2017 29 comments Getting to the gym REALLY lifted my mood yesterday a whole lot. I was quite able to use the stationary bike despite my broken foot. Put in 30 vigorous minutes (doesn't burn a whole lotta calories, but still). And then pretty much my e... Read more

I love nasturtiums! They are among the flowers I remember most fondly from earliest childhood: always planted against the white siding of my grandf... Read more
Stepping Outside
Friday, August 25, 2017 20 comments My lunch recess walks aren't possible with the broken foot. And: I still haven't made it to the golf course (in a cart) -- maybe tonight. But even stepping outside my door at work helps quite a bit. Smelling the few late rugosa rose... Read more

It's Official . . .
Monday, August 21, 2017 31 comments . . . yup, the x-ray shows that foot really IS broken. Right through. But the bones are not out of alignment which is a good thing. Expected 6-8 weeks for full recovery if I'm reasonably compliant. Thankfully I can use one of those... Read more
Increased Calorie Diligence!!
Sunday, August 20, 2017 29 comments I've got a left foot injury. Not as a result of any activity other than simply stepping down on it oddly after sitting on the verandah. It twisted, I heard a snap, it got pretty swollen -- and I went to the emergency clinic. Such kind an... Read more
ReBeck Day 36 Believe It
Saturday, August 19, 2017 24 comments A couple of us are quietly ReBecking via Spark Messaging and it's so helpful to refresh the techniques. Every Beck trek I seem to come at if from a slightly different angle -- presumably because I'm in a slightly different space. I do... Read more
Playing Hookey
Friday, August 18, 2017 24 comments Yes, I did not go into work yesterday morning -- and instead snuck out for an early morning kayak in the swamp.
