Was under the weather with an infection the last while, but feeling back on my feet again.  Been out for 20-30 minutes of walking the last 4 days.  Hoping to keep this us this week. There are a lot of social events going on in our lives presently, so if I can do at least [...]

Hello everyone. After such a long absence I feel it was most impolite of me not to have tried to explain sooner. Anyway, I had a bit of time in the doldrums and didn’t feel like any sort of blogging – and I didn’t want to share that kind of depression either.
However, I made a (re)start on [...]

And I’m also posting a bit early – trying to get back on a Monday schedule.  Maybe it will help me remember my Monday Fosamax pill – which I forgot today. 
Tues. June 30 – 10867 steps (7204 aerobic), 321 calories, 12 minutes on the bike.
Wed. July 1 – 6843 steps (1925 aerobic), 201 [...]

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 [...]

Bonjour, tout le monde, j’etudie mon francais (Claude, I wonder if a symbols page is available as an add-on to Firefox?  this just occurred to me…) et je parle a moi-meme plus souvent.  Bien sur, je me comprends toujours, parce que mes phrases sont tres simples…
And now for the steps!  Volleyball, non plus [...]

Hi, everyone, somehow I missed posting…hmmm, must have been the gardening I did, plus getting ready for the choir party…then this week I finished the schedules for the entire summer, a big load off my mind.   One more week of cleanup work with my helper here – then she leaves for Ireland and I can [...]

We have had relatively good weather this week in comparison to Claude who seems to have gotten our weather that came originally from the dark and damp Siberian coast (just kidding). My new insoles, while not perfect, do let me walk longer distances.
The Last Week
Tuesday: 40 minutes walking
Wednesday: 30 minutes walking
Thursday: 40 minutes walking
Friday: 20 [...]

Well, I hope you have managed to each find your stolen moments of getting out into the fresh air. Luebeck is cold (14-16 degrees Celcius) and rainy, so I’ve taken to going out for a walk when the skies are relatively clear and returning or jumping onto a bus when it starts raining again. If [...]

Hello, all – I’m entering my summer experimental phase where I try all kinds of stuff!  Last year (or year before?) it was belly dance.  This year it’s volleyball – although I’m not sure how long I will last at this! Did this last Wed. night and plan to go again tonight.  Next week it [...]

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 [...]
