Halloween

Had a very nice day yesterday. Drove up to Timm's Hill, had crab paninis at Hill of Beans, had a lovely hike, and stopped at Trig's in Tomahawk to pick up bakery for the remainder of the week. This morning, I'm having a cinnamon roll from Hill of Beans. Food: 8:00 am Cinnamon roll, 101 g blackberries, coffee

Fri 29 Oct

Over-used my arm at Bootstrap again and was quite sore afterward. Needed both doses of ibuprofen last night to sleep and used some ibuprofen gel on the arm this morning. Progress continues, but slowly. Yoga and laundry today. Food: 7:50 am Honey bear, 103 g blackberries, coffee

Sun 24 Oct

Slept hard and deep last night. Took ibuprofen before bed mostly because my legs were sore from hiking at Ice Age Trail. It was a nice hike; it's always good to get out in the woods as much as possible now to store up memories for the long winter. Food: 8:00 am Blueberry almond danish, 101 g blackberries, coffee

Sat 23 Oct

Michael texted Bob to remind us that tomorrow is their first wedding anniversary. Sad to say we probably wouldn't have remembered. It's on the calendar now for this year and next year. Food: 9:15 am Cherry danish, 103 g blackberries, coffee

Warmer this morning than the last couple of days, though the day should be similar temps. Rain coming in the afternoon. Better try to get out and walk in the morning. Food: 7:55 am Morning bun, 103 g blackberries, coffee

Tues 19 Oct

Slept really well last night so feeling quite rested this morning. Arm seems to be functioning better and better, no ill effects from taking Pilates yesterday. Maybe I'll try some resistance band exercises today to work on increasing strength and stamina. Food: 7:55 am Costco pumpkin muffin, 100 g blackberries, coffee

Mon 18 Oct

Thinking about the possibility of trying Pilates this morning. We'll see how I feel close to 10 am, but I've booked it just in case. I'll just tell Robyn about my injury and intent to modify whenever necessary. It'll be awhile before I can return to Pump until I can lift any amount of weight at full range, but Pilates and Yoga may be okay. Food: 8:10 am Costco pumpkin streusel muffin, 102 g blackberries, coffee

Sun 17 Oct

Very nice but very full day yesterday. Walked to Farmer's Market, drove to Madison where we lunched with Laura, did TJs and Costco, and drove home to walk 6 miles at the Moon Walk. I was restless in sleep the first half of the night, but settled toward the second half so I'm sufficiently rested this morning. Cantor at 10:30 today, a much more reasonable hour. Food: 8:10 am Morning bun, 100 g blackberries, coffee

Sat 16 Oct

Walk to the Farmer's Market this morning. Got eggs and fish, but no David. Too windy/chilly to walk on to the RBG mural; we'll save that for another day. We'll eat breakfast and head out to Madison, dropping off the Costco jackets at church so we don't have to carry them tomorrow. We'll have lunch with Laura, do Costco and TJs, and try to get back by 5:30 to do the Moon Walk this evening. Food: 8:45 am Piggly Wiggly chocolate croissant, 80 g blackberries, coffee

Fri 15 Oct

Definitely getting cooler outdoors now, with a morning temp now of 41°. Bedroom got down to 64° by morning, making it more of a challenge to get out of bed as I was resting comfortably. Food: 8:00 am Costco butter cinnamon loaf, 78 g blackberries, coffee

Thurs 14 Oct

Today would be my ex's 70th birthday; weird that I remembered. Chilly enough this morning to try out my new "birthday" flannel shirt from Vermont Flannel. I love it! Food: 8:05 am Chocolate croissant, 100 g blackberries, coffee

Wed 13 Oct

Dentist appointments this afternoon at 3, rescheduled from a couple of months ago when we somehow didn't have them on the calendar and weren't prepared to go at the last minute. Trevor will make a point of getting my soup delivered before I have to leave. Food: 8:00 am Kouign amann, 102 g blackberries, coffee

Tues 12 Oct

Arm's a bit sorer last night, probably because I didn't do any daytime ibuprofen at all. Took a dose this morning along with some CBD cream, and I get a massage at 10:30 this morning. Looking forward to feeling pretty good again afterward. Food: 8:00 am Chocolate pecan swirl, 100 g blackberries, coffee

Slept pretty well and shoulder seems a bit better again, though I overused it a bit drying my hair so it's temporarily sore. We'll see how I hold up to a full day of Bootstrap. Food: 8:05 am Caramel pecan roll, 102 g blackberries, coffee
