Day by day, more stuff, gets worse and worse. So far, it&#8217;s just restricted to politics. That will likely change.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a long weekend. E is still recuperating, so prolly quiet. We got out for a little while. E was super tired afterwards-she&#8217;s not getting enough nutrition. Did laundry and dishes and that&#8217;s it-no real cleaning. S is sad because no one came over to swim, so me and her went. C went to the Rose Festival with his gf, then spent Sun. and Mon at home. Church Sun., song went well, but we didn&#8217;t do the CCR piece. I want to tart it up with rock &#038; roll, and the sheet he gave me is inadequate. Ran around, shopping, E got tired quick again, home. W\/o Sat &#038; Mon., I keep pushing-the run-walk-run I&#8217;m doing is called the &#8220;Galloway Method&#8221;, and I did it intuitively. I&#8217;m down to 45 secs each for the walk bit, which puts me at 20 minutes running over a half hour.<br \/>\n&#8230;and now Friday-pretty quiet-E had a Dr.&#8217;s app&#8217;t Weds., she&#8217;s lost 20ish pounds-the doc wants her to eat more. She dropped me off at work, went home and slept. We figured at gamelan that she should eat a lot of small meals rather than 3 big ones. WFH Thurs., M&#8217;s graduation ceremony, then Cracker Barrel for dinner.<br \/>\nW\/o Friday, shop, dinner. S has a farewell party and I do too. Need to clean, laundry, etc. Well, it&#8217;s Monday. A pretty busy weekend. Got up, cleaned until it was time to go. Drove to Lake O, missed directions, finally got there, spent the afternoon in the sun. Paddled a canoe for a few minutes. Home, shower, 2nd party in a nice area in close SW. A thing. Home, sleep. No church for me, cleaned more. S haircut, home, w\/o alone, dinner, bed-achy finger, so, so tired.<br \/>\nUp Mon., S out the door, car to shop, work, back to pick up the car, work, home, quick to the store w\/S, dinner, laundry, bed. E is eating more. Up Tues. at the usual time-back to taking bus\/train\/train\/bus. E was up early too. Easy in to work-I prefer public transit to driving-I guess it&#8217;s because I started my work life doing that in London. Home, S&#8217;s dinner, w\/o-worked hard-maybe too much. Dinner, laundry, clean kitchen, shower, bed. Can you see a pattern here?<br \/>\nHome, Gamelan, dinner, bed, work. The pattern holds.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.scotese.com\/future2.htm\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">This<\/a> is pretty cool.
