Day 225

Getting the voter registration underway. Other than that bit of progress, it was another low energy afternoon. I want my morning intentions to last all day. I’m missing out on activities I would like to participate in. And I know I am improving. Just impatient to have a full life after so many years of low health. Today, a good walk and writing. Want to finish the column for senior news and submit it. I like to be early.

Day 224

Yesterday was flat. I have such good energy for the first few hours and am ready to spend a productive day and wham, all gone. I did have phone conversations but didn’t do what I wanted to do. Today has started slow with a headache. The imitrex is kicking in and I’ll get my shoes on soon. At the senior center, I will contact with the director regarding voter registration. Pat will contact the high school for registering seniors.

Day 223

Even in the heat yesterday I did get past the 10K steps mark by moving more inside. It’s not exactly exercise but it’s not sitting either. I got out early to walk and also to the farmers’ market. It’s hot again today and my walk will be as soon as the sun comes up. I do have plans for walking in the afternoon with the dogs. Today my agenda is church and connecting with people by phone or e-mail.

Day 222

The fitbit is showing me activity patterns that I already know and have prompted me to make a change in my daily routine. Mornings are great. Anything that is going to get done, gets done early: housework, walking for exercise, writing, planning, and working on how I live my life. What I want to change is the long hours of nothing that begin at noon. I need to find a way to keep active longer. I can do it.

Day 221

Again today I will get out early. I kept the house cool yesterday. I don’t enjoy heat. No agenda except work on the next column for senior news. I have the bud of an idea on the theme, creativity. The challenge is saying enough in 400 words. Barbara used to cut me slack and I could go over. Kathy, not so much. I had conversations yesterday at senior center duty that showed me that I make a difference there.

Day 220

Spending time with Chris and Carol is always a blessing. Carol is gearing up for her stay in Seattle and we will stay in touch while she is undergoing treatment. It was a warm day and today will be warmer. The early walk will start the day. It’s senior center duty. I like Thursdays as Boon Dock Band is there and it’s a mellower crowd for lunch. Will get to the  county clerk’s office for more voter registration forms.

Day 219

October already. Time flies and all those other old sayings. This morning I’ll back up the computer, catch up in my journal, and finish distributing downtown senior news. At 1 I will meet with Chris and Carol. Carol is leaving for Seattle the for health treatments that she has been waiting for. We want to spend time together and wish her well. It will be a warm day and I’ll do my walk early. I’m enjoying the early mornings.
