Mon 5 Aug

Found out that drinking several cups of high-test coffee for lunch after not having done so for a long time does not make for a good night's sleep. Hopefully the caffeine effect will stay long enough to get me through today. Half hour nap helped somewhat but still tired this afternoon. Mindlessly grabbed a Twizzlers but it didn't really help. The walk, however, woke me up well. I got enough steps to earn some extra calories so I scarfed down the chocolate covered pretzel stick I had bought at Brennan's a short time ago. What a treat! I feel badly that we were going to try to hike, albeit with a late start because we weren't sure until about 5:15 pm whether we were going back to Michael's to work on the garage tonight or tomorrow. Then Mary Gaedtke came over with this year's crop of blueberries (delicious!) It would have been 5:45 before we hit the road. We had decided to go to Waupaca and hike a bit there, then hit the Wheel House for pizza, but I got completely suited up in hiking clothes and just couldn't resist laying down on the couch to wait for Dad. I realized I really didn't have the oomph to get up and go hiking. Dad was fine with staying home and eating leftover biryani. Whatta guy! Taking the opportunity of an unplanned evening at home to bake a batch of the Door Co cherries into a crisp. This way we'll even have plenty of time to eat it before we leave. I got enough steps in on my walks today and ate relatively light, even considering the pretzel treat, that I have a little calorie room left to have a piece when it's done.
