Blog time 1100 at Panera

Up with the sun, 0622, this morning.  The temperature was 57 and my phone said no rain.  

Nancy has a busy morning.  She headed out early for her swim.  She has a 1000 dentist appointment and a 1130 lunch with friends at Rose’s.

After breakfast I headed out for my bike ride to the Y.  My weather app was wrong it was sprinkling.  I put on my raincoat and pants before heading out.   Took the five mile route to Y.

Still on my reduced exercise routine.  I will continue this routine for the rest of the week.  Both Nancy and I are feeling better.

I did read the news today but saw nothing I want to comment on.  I think my lack of interest in current events is because Spring is in full bloom.  Our neighborhood has blooming fruit trees and flowers.  I see bright green everywhere I look.  A truly spectacular time of year.  The older I get the more I notice my surroundings.  

I have a 1400 appointment with my eye doctor.  So as soon as I got home I showered, had lunch and then headed downtown.  Dr. Anderson spent nearly an hour checking my eyes. Except for some minor problems my eyes are healthy.

I did stop a Costco on my way home.  As I mentioned in an earlier blog Thursday must be senior’s day at Costco.  At home Nancy and I took Ms P for a walk.  

After my recent episode with a rusty bike chain I spent some time this afternoon oiling my chain.  Biking is now my main aerobic exercise so I have to keep the bike ship shape.

I took a short nap before dinner.  After our heavy meal at Meijer’s Garden last night we decided to go light tonight.  After the dishes I took a mile walk.  My time for a mile walk has gone from 20’ to 23’.  

This evening we watched a new show on Netflix called Safe by Harlan Coben.  We might give it another look.  We also watched another new show call Indian Detective.  I liked it, Nancy did not.
