Day Two - Getting Healthy

Yesterday was such a lovely day - no wind, perfect autumn temperature. It was a good day to do some clean up in the garden. In cleaning out the cucumber vines, I found a nice plump cucumber. That will make a crunchy addition to a vegetarian sandwich for lunch. We're doing fairly well on our healthy eating regime, although we still have some wonderful leftovers from a couple of dinners out. Wednesday should be the last day on any leftovers, so it's fresh fruit and veggies full speed ahead...the ice cream cake is all gone....so are the Oreos...sigh...

Max is still actively bird hunting when he's allowed outside. Yesterday he almost got a bird, but thank heavens, the bird was quicker. Max did manage to knock over a planter box and spread dirt all over. After cleaning up the mess, I cleaned out the bird feeder and restocked it. I also commissioned the new feeder we bought a couple of days ago. Today I want to get the hummingbird feeder cleaned out and hanging.

Sleep patterns are still messed up, but I seem to be sleeping a little more. I did take an afternoon nap, which was refreshing. Energy level will come back if I stick to the program. Even after only a couple of days, I'm noticing a difference. Jim seems to be sleeping a little less - up by 8 instead of 9:30...so far that's only meant an extra hour and a half of Fox News, but I'm hopeful the desire for a trip to the gym will kick in.

We still have no word on Kathy's relocation to a nursing facility. Insurance companies and Medicare take their sweet time in issuing their approvals. Maybe we will know something positive today.

Today is laundry day. Ugh. Usually I attempt to do it all on Monday, but this week went a little off schedule. Janis is in Florida so today I do laundry instead of hang out with my friend.

Tomorrow is the beginning of our solar installation. We should have the installation completed by Friday and hopefully, operational early next week.

Off to have juice and vitamins and then bike for as long as my legs hold out.
