Chores
I finally got tired of having a super dirty house. I made myself a chore schedule. I set tasks to do everyday so I didn't burnout trying to get the whole house clean all in one go. I asked David to help me stay motivated by letting me check in with him every day. Every morning we have a meeting and talk about what he's going to do at work and what ( Read more... ) -
Social Anxiety
I like sitting in the corner and by myself. I do it on purpose. I don't need someone to sit by me and "be my friend". I don't like being pressured into conversation. I will politely answer "Hello, how are you?" but I will usually give a brief answer. I'm content with the few friends I have who know I'm quiet and reserved; they don't require much ( Read more... ) -
Today I learned two things
1. I should never walk on our treadmill in bare feet, especially for 30 minutes. I wear socks around the house and shoes outside. My feet are not tough enough for the textured belt on the treadmill. I will be walking gingerly today.
2. Lotioned skin slides in a wet bathtub. After I walked on the treadmill I went to take my shower. My feet were ( Read more... ) -
Walking and weather
I took my each of my dogs for a walk this morning. I haven't walked them or myself in a long time. It was actually more of a drag and sniff. I had to research both of them "If you pull we don't go." I've found in the past if they get a walk every day the sniffing interruptions go down significantly. And as I and my dogs all need to get into better ( Read more... ) -
Walking
Last Monday the temperature a 7:00 am was below 70° so I decided to go for a walk. I put on a t-shirt, shorts and my walking shoes and headed down the walking path to go once around the track and come back. It was still pleasant when I returned so I took each of our dogs out separately for a short walk (they take me for a drag if the go together). ( Read more... ) -
New contract, anxiety, hope for exercise
Chalain has a new contract as of Thursday. I can't tell you what it is because of his NDA. I can say he's excited to be subcontracting for this company. The client spoke with Chalain and he seems to know the software development process and has a clear vision of what wants. Chalain will be starting with working code and adding features ( Read more... ) -
Updates
I visited my Mom in the care center on Sunday. My Dad and sisters had just taken her out to IHOP for lunch. My Dad and oldest sister brought her back to the care center and hung out with me and my Mom. Most of the poeple in the Enhance Care wing have memory problems and are more sever than my mother. I met Maudie whose memory was just fine but she ( Read more... ) -
Defunking
I've been in a funk lately. I need to avoid surfing social media for a while. I want to focus my time on catching up on my house and yard work, improving my health, and maybe reading some books.

Arm Update
I had surgery a couple of days after the accident to put a plate in my arm. I wore a splint for 7 weeks (for the last 5 weeks I could take it off while bathing). Two weeks ago the doc said I no longer had to wear it. And he had me start physical therapy to regain the lost range of motion in my wrist and start strengthening the muscles and bone in ( Read more... )
