1501

Another hot day--over 100 degrees and looks like that'll be the story for the next week or beyond. I'm wrestling with my energy level--can't seem to jumpstart my metabolism. Just want to lay down--and close my eyes.

I managed to get up in the afternoon--and did some walking around the living room. Did about 12 minutes--plus some light core work. The activity seems to have helped wake me up--but I'm feeling wobbly and wonky.

Plan on eating light tonight--yogurt, fruit, and a small bit of ice cream.

Daughter and my ex went out for the day--treating themselves before the ax falls this weekend and the daughter enters a program. I've been trying to not obsess over the whole thing--just go with the flow and see where it takes us over the next few weeks.

I think what's about to take place will truncate by return to RSB--and getting back in shape. I think it will be September before everything settles--and I can resume what I was doing a year ago. It's taken me an entire year to work my way through the medical issues--and deal with the surgeries and tests. Not exactly what I had in mind last year when I was zooming through the Big program--and discovered there were medical problems.

The combination of this year-long hiatus of my exercise program--and the various shifts and changes taking place (new grandson, daughter's issues, ex-wife moving in, MD falling and needing a whole new level of caregiver, and my medical issues and more) have kicked up my PD symptoms and anxieties. PD does not do well with uncertainty and turmoil--and my past year has been only that seems.

Suddenly quiet here--laundry done, phone not ringing, TV off grandson napping, and MD not tripping her yell bell. Even the local traffic--is still for a change.
