Tweendom is a word I’ve recently invented to describe my current state. Nothing to do with “tweens,” those between teenage and childhood. No, mine is about languishing in the unfocused world where decisions by others determine my daily life. Leaves me particularly unmotivated.
Being with family in Portland was great: as if I had a job [...]

Naomi – Walking end of May, now June
As I’d indicated earlier, my participation has become rather clunky. As have I. This apartment-selling has dragged me down. Look okay in public but realize I’ve become more dark. [Note how I do not want to say "depressed."]
My apologies for not commenting on all of your efforts. Truthfully, I could not read here and have [...]

Naomi – Poking along in May…
Realizing I’ve been an “unreliable” communicator here, I think you need to know that’s how I’ll be for the forseeable future. We seem to have a buyer for our apartment. My days are filled with uncertainty, showing the apartment, wondering. At the same time, it has been a challenge to my creativity and I’ve enjoyed [...]

Naomi – April ending with steps + great foot exercises
What a dizzy month. Pedometer needs new battery. Got that but set incorrectly. Finally can report on end of month…
April 22…6,000
April 25…7,695 and 1,004 aerobic
April 26…5,313 and 1,182 aerobic
April 27…10, 749 (my moment in Claude-land)
April 28…6,488
April 29…4,507
For several months I’ve been going to physical therapy. Most useful has been learning how to walk in more [...]

Naomi – Distracted in early April
Just here to report. Early April was alright…getting in steps. But I did not keep up with my recording of steps. Today, April 12, only seven days recordedof course. Not a good week for the most part, much pain and my new role as “Real Estate Entrepreneur” is very time-consuming. Hoping to get back [...]

Working on a new blog for selling our apartment, “A Little Red Hen Flies the Co-op.” Corny but am in the “whatever it takes mode.” We are having to be our own real estate company and I’m enjoying the creative part but having [...]

Naomi – March 14-20, Mystery of Lost Days
Where did the record-keeping go? Pedometer in pocket as usual but March 10 -13 no numbers in my little book. Think that focus on selling our apartment is too distracting–without results. Enough–already looking forward to our return to Portland in June.

March 17…9,935

Naomi – Sell Apartment, Walk Too? Feb 27-Mar 8
Yes, Sara, there was stuff going on that needed reporting. Finally posted last night at blog, A Little Red Hen. Sweet comment from Lilia. Am a bit dizzier than usual. We’ve had very cold weather and I’ve been tireder than usual. First in long time forgot to take Pedometer.
Feb 27…2348 steps
Feb 28…3202 steps
March 1…2409 steps
March [...]

Naomi – Feb 17 to 26 – Inching ahead
Roller coaster weather over this time. Doctor said it’s okay to start on treadmill. But I should use a soft cervical collar. Tried to find but will have to go online it seems…getting harder and harder to find things locally. Remember the “dime” or “5 & 10″ stores? Enough–my steps:
Feb 17…5550
Feb 18…5986
Feb 19…6827
Feb 20…2566
Feb 21…4389 [...]

Naomi – Jan.31 – Feb 16 Still wintering
There were some satisfying walking experiences my last week in Portland where we were in a car more than expected.
Feb 2 – 5,140 steps…3,579 aerobic The beautiful springlike day I walked with my daughter, a fast-stepper.
Back in NYC, the cold weather and wintertime malaise–and more right arm pain have undermined good intentions. Mostly 3,000 [...]
