Good morning! It hope you are surviving this cold morning. I am looking at 8 degrees, which, really, is not that cold, is it? I remember a few years ago when it hit -14 or 15. Now that was cold. The daytime highs struggled to reach single digits. That was really cold. Enough of that for now, I suppose.
Yesterday was a good varied day. It ranged all the way from seeing a lady who is dying to helping change light bulbs in the ceiling of our gym, standing on a ladder on top of scaffolding. I only had to use 1 or 2 steps of the ladder. I also saw a guy yesterday who has dementia. His wife died a few days ago, but he doesn't remember it. That's a thought that I can't seem to shake. There's a lot to ponder about that.
Late in the afternoon I ran with Tim S. We cranked out 7 miles as the sun was moving toward the wind-swept western horizon. Maybe it was that slipping sun that caused the problem. Was the sun in her eyes? I'm speaking of the lady who just about ran over us.
I hit a car to keep from being hit by a car. It was really close. We were running along and a lady literally turned into us, as she was turning into a small side street. I reached out with my left hand to stop myself. Her front wheels missed my feet by less than 6 inches. I banged her hood with my right hand, to get her attention. Everybody was scared, I think. We stopped. She stopped. She didn't get out, and we chose to run on.
Last night I went to the pool and managed to get 800 yards. I am very pleased about my swimming right now. I'm starting off better than where I left off last year. Compared to others, that's not saying a whole lot (ha ha), but for me it is significant.
Today? Lots to do. If I told you, then I'd have to kill you.
Thanks for stopping by.
