Day 271: 6/13/20

Intentions:

Rest.

Yesterday:

I’m home!!! Doing better. But I’m just doing so much rest. I think I’ll keep it up.

Health. Work. Art. 100%.

Stay safe y’all and have a great day.

Day 270: 6/12/20

Intentions:

Go home.

Yesterday:

I’ve been in the hospital! At this point the Dr. does not think it is serious. I’ve been here sense Wednesday morning and I would like to leave. As long as I have Dr approval.

Health. Work. Art. 100%.

Stay safe y’all and have a great day.

Day 269: 6/11/20

Intentions:

Do as I’m told.

Yesterday:

Though yesterday and I had a talk, we did not come to an understanding.

Health. Work. Art. 100%.

Day 268: 6/10/20

Intentions:

I’m going to talk to today and come to an agreement that it will be awesome.

Yesterday:

Work wasn’t as smooth as normal. Had some technical issues.

50 minute stationary bike ride! Felt great. Hope to do more tonight.

Read half on a new Star Wars novel. Have not read one in a long time and they are still fun.

Went to bed early. It was a good day.

Health. Work. Art. 100%.

Stay safe y’all, have a great day.

Day 267: 6/9/20

Intentions:

Get more done today than yesterday.

Yesterday:

Work was ok, started learning a new thing. It will be better once I get used to it.

Mowed the yard after work.

Took the day off from a workout. Sunday was tough and I felt like I needed a day of rest. I’m working hard to start “listening to my body” more. Got to keep the injuries down.

Finished the Jeffrey Epstein documentary on Netflix. That. Guy.

Health. Work. Art. 100%.

Day 266: 6/8/20

Intentions:

Be better today than I was yesterday.

Yesterday:

Bike ride was ROUGH! Only got 14.5 miles and felt terrible. I think the heat got to me, which is a new thing for me. Heat usually is my friend, but not yesterday.

Hung out with family for a bit. That was nice. Had not seen a few members for some months. Good times.

Started watching the Jeffery Epstein documentary on Netflix. So far it well done, but that guy. Ugh.

Health. Work. Art. 100%.

Have a great day everyone and stay safe.

Day 265: 6/7/20

Intentions:

Ride dat bike.

Yesterday:

I rode dat bike! Got in 20 slow miles yesterday and it was glorious. Perfect weather. Felt great. Neck hurt a bit near the end of the ride but nothing major. Going to get more miles in today.

Calf is feeling good. I’m stretching. I have fantastic calf compression sleeves. I’m hoping that around June 14 I’ll slowly be able to get into running again. And this time respect my body a bit more with stretching better pre and post run.

Still in the research phase of a new art medium I want to try. But I’m not going to research much longer. Soon I’ll just start experimenting.

Watched two movies yesterday. “Roman Holiday” and “Ode to Joy”. Both were fantastic. “Ode to Joy” especially. I had not realized Ira Glass was involved with that movie.

I finished my Star Trek book yesterday as well. A TNG novel titled “Before Dishonor” by Peter David. Janeway, Picard, Seven and Spock. I loved this novel.

Stay safe everyone. Stay strong. Have a great day.

Day 264: 6/6/20

Intentions:

Relax...it feels like a relax day.

Yesterday:

I rode the stationary bike yesterday. It was a good ride but I paid for it. I rode in the garage and it was probably close to 100°. I was fine when I was riding but after I was done I was wiped out. Took an hour or so to get my strength back. Normally heat doesn’t bother me but it did yesterday. I will almost certainly have to start riding in the morning when it’s less hot.

Work was smooth. Nothing major to report.

Got a lot of reading done.

Time to get on with today, the day isn’t going to be relaxing on its own.

Have a great day and stay safe everyone.

Day 263: 6/5/20

Intentions:

Create the momentum and ride it.

Yesterday:

I got on the stationary bike yesterday! A slow 40 minutes. But I did it. Want to do it again. Tonight!

We watched several hours of TV last night. When it was time to go to bed we both decided we would have rather been reading. So tonight we will be back to reading. I wonder if quarantine burned us out for mindless TV. I bet it did. Not the worst thing that could happen really.

I’ve been dipping my toe into a new style of art for me. Mostly research and educating myself. I want to talk more about it once I have some more information. But I could see losing some time to it in the best way. I’m oddly excited.

Feeling better. Foot is basically 100%. Neck is mostly good. A little sore. But not terrible. This might end up being one of those injuries that I feel for a long time off and on but never keeps me from doing what I want.

Health. Work. Art. 100%.

Stay safe everyone, have a good day.

Day 262: 6/4/20

Intentions:

Appreciate feeling more normal.

Yesterday:

Smooth day. Had a work thing I thought might be a problem happen without a hitch.

Read almost half a Star Trek novel. We are actively trying to read more at night as opposed to watching TV. I think that’s a better idea.

Set up my stationary bike. Going to put some time on it today after work.

I’m starting to finally feel better. Foot is almost 100%, no more limping. Neck is a bit sore, but it’s not bad. Gets a bit better everyday. And on June 14 it will be 3 months since I hurt my calf. It will be time to oh so carefully try running again. I’m hopeful.

I feel like I have a lot to work though. A lot of thoughts. I’m going to have to get them down here and try to make sense of them. But not today.

Health. Work. Art. 100%.

Have a good one everyone and stay safe.

Day 261: 6/3/20

Intentions:

Tackle obstacles early.

Yesterday:

I’m getting better everyday. Foot keeps feeling better. I mowed and did trim work yesterday and my neck is sore, but not so bad I couldn’t sleep. I’m going to call that progress.

I need to start a workout routine since I’m healing up. Will start with daily stretches. Might be on the stationary bike by Friday. It will be slow going but worth it.

I finished a Star Trek novel yesterday. One of Peter David’s Nee Frontier novels. I love those characters so much. Now on to the next one.

Health. Work. Art. 100%.

Have a great day and stay safe.

Day 260: 6/2/20

Intentions:

Vote.

Yesterday:

First day back to work. It was smooth.

I read a lot. It was a low key night.

Both foot and neck muscle gets better everyday.

I voted this morning.

Health. Work. Art. 100%.

Stay safe y’all, have a great day.

Day 259: 6/1/20

Intentions:

Back to the grind and better than ever.

Yesterday:

Still healing my foot. Doing better everyday. By Wednesday I bet I’m 100%.

Did some house stuff. Read some of a book. Just a relaxing day.

Tried to not look at the news too much. But I did anyway. We vote tomorrow.

Have a great day everyone and stay safe.

Day 258: 5/31/20

Intentions:

Relax today but prepare for tomorrow.

Yesterday:

Foot and ankle are getting better.

I had a good vacation. Lots of rest. A few fun things. Got a few things done and a few things started. Got some new plans that I’m sure I’ll be talking about later.

My country is hurting today. All weekend really. It’s on fire. I’m worried. It will be my pleasure and privilege to vote.

Stay safe everyone.

Have as good a day as you can.

Day 257: 5/30/20

Intentions:

Going to be comfortable on the couch.

Yesterday:

Nothing happened! My ankle hurt so bad I sat on the couch all day. I suspect today will be more of the same. Which is annoying because the weather is fantastic. Ugh.

Health. Work. Art. 100%.

Stay safe y’all and have a great day.

Day 256: 5/29/20

Intentions:

Rest thy ankle fore it has hiked.

Yesterday:

We went to Clifty Falls here in Indiana. What a great park. But my ankle hurts from the hiking.

So time for rest.

And more vacation!

But mostly rest.

Health. Work. Art. 100%.

Have a great one and stay safe.

Day 255: 5/28/20

Intentions:

Going places we have not gone before.

Yesterday:

Vacation! Literally that is all I have to report. Nothing special just relaxing.

Health. Work. Art. 100%.

Stay safe and have a great day!
