days_unfoldingI’m reading Beck Weathers’ book. He’s the guy who was left for dead during the big storm on Everest, but he woke up and saved himself. He got into mountain climbing to fight depression. I should get into hiking for the same reason. An app that I have suggested hiking in Meadowbrook Park.
My stomach is upset. I need to get to bed.
Hmm. The local Pilates place has a free intro session on Friday at 4PM. We get Friday off because of Juneteenth, so maybe I should go? I need to think about that.
Hmm. The Urbana Park District has personal trainers. Maybe I should sign up. I can’t do personal training and Pilates though. Though I asked ChatGPT to come up with a training plan.
I woke up at 6 AM to pee, and then overslept until a little after 8 AM. I ordered the shipping tape and some other items for delivery from the local grocery store.
I’m feeling a little chilled. Emailed in sick and went back to sleep. Got the mailing tape. I’m going to eat lunch, feed the fur faces, and go back to sleep.
I was thinking about how I call Zara “Lovey”. She loves me but hates everyone else (human, canine, or feline). They’d be surprised at how “lovey” she can be.
Hmm. It’s pouring. I checked, and the UPS store opens at 8 AM. But there’s no guarantee that tomorrow will be drier. Going to shower and package up my return and see what the weather is like.
Went and mailed my return and picked up the travel CPAP. The UPS store was near Panera, so I stopped in for a bite. Their French Onion soup is as good as ever. Bought light bulbs at Lowe’s and a towel at Target.
I sat outside with the dogs when I got home. Gracie and Bella were racing each other, and, to my surprise, Gracie was winning. Bella is a little taller than her and heavier, but Gracie is manic and has the almost-puppy energy.
I’m reading Jim Whittaker’s autobiography. He was good friends with Bobby Kennedy and told Bobby that what he was doing was more dangerous than mountain climbing. Sadly, Whittaker was right.
Whittaker also was an early CEO of REI. I found an REI three-person tent (they said “or one person and two dogs”) that I’d like to get.
Gracie is being manic and chasing Oliver. I want her to settle down.
