Blog time 1620

Up this morning at 0715.  Checked outside and it was a warm, sunny 70.  High temperature today will be 90.

This morning Nancy instead of swimming is doing the treadmill and stationary bike at MVP.  Her tooth is still giving her pain.

Later today Nancy will attend her first Physical Therapy session.  Luckily the PT place is less than a mile from the Condo.

I did early morning calisthenics before breakfast.  Breakfast and then put on bike clothes and headed to Y.  Difficult time deciding what to wear because the temperature outside will be in high 70s during ride.  

Today I added two miles to my morning ride.  At the Y calisthenics and a short walk today.  My normal routine at the Y takes about 30 minutes.  Put bike clothes back on and headed to Panera.

Temperature was in mid 80s when arrived at Panera.  Ordered coffee and baguette.  Finished yesterday’s blog and read the Alpena and Detroit News before heading home.  

Tomorrow I will change my morning weekday routine.  I arrive at Panera hot and sweaty.  Panera is super cold.  Sitting is this environment in wet clothes is not healthy.  Tomorrow I will head home after the Y.  Shower and then drive to Panera.

Summary of afternoon activities:

Quick lunch and then headed to office for more reading.

Missy FaceTimed.  We had a nice talk.

Headed to Ada Bike Shop to get some hardware for my bike rack.

Stopped at D&W to mail a letter to Ca.

Today is son Stephen’s 49th birthday.  We did not connect on first call but will call again around 1800 EDT.

We had a light dinner.  Cheerios with strawberries.  Very good.

Steve called us after dinner.  Nancy and I wished him a happy birthday.  I still remember vividly the day he was born.

Dr Kutsche called this evening.  We wanted advice about Nancy’s headaches.  Dr Kutsche prescribed a medicine for Nancy.

Watched the news before switching to Acorn.  Watched another episode of “Crownies”.

The temperature was near 90 when checked Courtyard at 2200.  It was dark.  

The days are getting shorter.  We now have less than 15 hours of daylight compared to 15h21’ on the Solstice.
