No snooze is good snooze! But I did snooze though but was awakened by various events. Went to Pilates class around noon, which felt good. I am getting stronger. Just hope I don't have any setbacks with the eye procedure. I've now been here over two months and have not been exercising at the rate I was doing in the Bay Area.

Did some holiday shopping today. I need to get gifts for five people. I got items for three of the people on my list. 60% done in just a few hours and fairly efficiently, if I do say so myself. So just two more to go and I'll be ready for ho, ho, ho!

Things were icy again this morning, but a bit less than yesterday. MD's caregiver, however, did a rump bump when she slipped on the patch of ice on the driveway.

I tried to watch one of my favorite TV episodes earlier this evening, and kept getting a frozen screen. I think they have a buggy upload of the show that keeps locking up when playing commercials. We shall see (or we won't) if they patch the problem or let it go as is until the next refresh is done.

I didn't have a green tea today (it's been several days now) and I also didn't take my Vitamin D3 at midday. I still had a hot flushing episode in the afternoon--after taking my midday medication. No similar reaction from the morning's or the bedtime's dosage. Could be related to large and more complex foods that I eat at midday. Today, I had a rather large club sandwich with potato salad. That's a lot of mayonnaise (egg product) and bread (two big slices of rye).

I got a nice magnifying glass for MD. It has built-in lighting elements. She's using a small glass now with no lights. This unit is designed with a landscape form (not circular but more like the pages of a book or the shape of a frozen food package). She's always peering with her glass at the 6pt (or less) instructions on how long to warm a dish. Hopefully, this item will help her decipher things more easily.

Only plans for tomorrow perhaps is to determine the other two gifts on my list. And perhaps to snooze a while!
