Beware the Ides of March! Too late! Already passed.

Got my 1st utility bill today--$3.27! For the first six days of March. Not bad given I was burning a fair amount of gas. If that figure extrapolates out for the month, it won't be too onerous.

Clocked my walking route today and discovered that the full route is only 1 mile. Have to work out some extensions so I'm doing at least 1.5 miles. Can always double loop.

Having digestion problems. Altering my diet (again) so that I don't ingest a lot of bulk in one meal. Will have to try some of L's trifala and see what that does. I think it's caused by subtle changes in everything--drinking water, type of oatmeal, and so forth. What a pain! Especially for someone who could eat anything before.

Had a sensation as I drove to lunch today (went to DeeDee's since their food seems to agree with me) of always having this feeling of pressure on my right side. That it has been there all my life, but wasn't prominent like it is now--was in the background and didn't intrude as it does now. So in a way, I'm used to it, but now have to give it more attention. At least that's the jumble-mumble that I was thinking as I drove.

Came back after lunch and collapsed. Slept on and off for several hours. Awoke at dinner time. Walk, sleep and eat! What a great set of activities! Did manage to set up a dental hygiene appointment for tomorrow. Tooth decay goes on!

Two weeks that I've been here. Less than that since I settled in. Keep looking ahead to being here a year and seeing myself recovered fully. I keep feeling like I want to start jogging. Probably not the best thing for my body, but I keep seeing joggers and getting the urge to start running. Now, that activity would really put me to sleep. Think I'll wait until I join a health spa and use their low-impact treadmills instead of pounding my frame. Of course, doing that is not like being outdoors--all in good time.

It was a warm, spring-like afternoon that I slept through today. Balmy again tonight. Almost tropical. Like the warm weather. Bring more of it on and forget about the wintry nights.

Not much else to report--eat, sleep, walk! The beauty of the simple life!
