Sauces!

Image
 Homemade sauces sound YUMMY. Also a bit of work but the flavor / nutrition boost better be worth it. 6:xx hours of sleep. I woke up after 4+, ate breakfast, and went back to bed. I am still crabby and the exercise buzz from yesterday has turned into aches I am feeding NSAIDs to.  Unclear whether the sole elevator is working, whether the second one is getting tested. I just walked the stairs. It would be good for me to do that every day but it's slow and stressful. Happy heat wave Tuesday.     

Bean Smoothies? For BREAKFAST?

INnteresting concepts to experiment about.  I think I would assume the smoothie serves 2. 4:56 hours of sleep NICE exercise high after PT. I get to graduate to the red resistance band. Don't overwork! Now about cramps after exercise and twinges of plantar fasciitis....

 Willows only grow where water exists. They are not weeds of national significance natural sequence farming Ecological renewal is SO soothing. 5:56 hours of sleep. Shampoo managed. Trying to get motivated to take compost out and tackle some more home decor. But it's the solstice and there is legit quest for turning points.

Not even trying to analyze how much of this drama queen's chronicle is pure AI.  5:56 hours of sleep. TWO DAYS of socializing and the full menu of PT exercises. Ibuprofen and a banana at 3:30 am helped A LOT about muscle cramps and sleep.

 This sounds like a fun recipe. It also sounds like a recipe that one should make when there are other people around to eat it or else one will be eating bean salad all week, not necessarily a bad thing in hot weather. 5:56 hours of sleep. I have been increasing the number of reps I do even when I do not add resistance. After Yesterda's agony, body did REALLY well for excursion to Juneteenth. Excursion was hot and full of things on lumpy ground to trip over but NICE family space. Late lunch with PICS mentee and honest conversation about life. Sweet

 Can anyone tell that ecological restoration in almost any form is extremely calming? 5:18 hours of sleep. I went to bed to late but was able both to go back to bed and to wake up in time for Zoom commitments. Amazon order arrived before the Zoom timeline so I could put away my icecream. TOTAL grocery bliss about two items: --some archway molasses cookies bought on a whim because I did not want to spend $20 on ginger snaps. --TOTAL BANANA BLISS: A nice clump that will last all week. Ther PERFECT level of greenness and the perfect size. That is my level of bliss. Also relevant: I needed to pick up prescriptions. I was too sore and intimated about even the pathetic amount of walking needed. SO, take one bus, go to bank. Ride second bus back one stop. Go to CVS and then lather rinse repeat. Wait for the48 so I did not even have to walk anywhere to catch the 8. Embarrassing to feel so fragile and achy. But at least I carried home another gallon of distilled water. Tomorrow I will go to...

Rasputin (Boney M.) | EPIC ORCHESTRAL COVER

This earworm invocation dedicated to a certain world leader who is being even more of an international embarrassment than average. The kindest point: at 80 NO ONE is expected to party until late at night, bound onto a plane a scant few hours later and keep track of where they are or who they are with. Will someone PLEASE cue #DonSnoreleone in that he deserves genteel retirement with as many naps as he needs? Anyway, this was a plenty of sleep but not enough exercise day for me. PT SORT OF counts but one knee is objecting to weight bearing exercise also known as WALKING. 7:24 hours of sleep.
