Saw my PCP today! My cholesterol levels were the focus of discussions. He suggested that I do a low  cholesterol diet. I also think that my lower exercise levels over the last few months is also contributing to my higher readings. Daily exercise is a key component instead of zoning out and not doing much movement. Also, I probably need to be eating food with more fiber--since I've been here I've reduced the amount of fiber-foods (beans, rice, and so on). Will search for more info tomorrow.

The yard needs a lot of attention--watering, fertilizing, weeding, planting, trimming, pest control, and more. What a pain in the grass! The other day, I discovered a broken pipe in the sprinkler network. Today, I may have found another broken pipe in the vegetable bed system. Will confirm with the guy who's working on the patio since the drainage that's happening is flowing toward the patio area. Oh, boy! Oh, joy!

Looks like my daughter's partner will be moving in soon. It will be one more person to interact with (now have on site three adults and the grandkid, three adults off site, plus a part-time caregiver). Her partner will just move from off to on site status. It will be good to have him around. He gets along well with the grandkid.

It was cool last night--the heater kicked on this morning. Felt a bit cool all day--winds were up, keeping everything from getting too warm. Enjoying the cooler weather while it's here!
