Go Shopping! I didn't get much, just an outfit to exercise in. I can wear anything when lifting weights, but the stretching routine is another matter. I usually wear my pajamas which are loose to begin with, and they get in my way, so I bought a fancy schmancy tights and top (on sale big time!). I also got some protein powder, strawberries, bananas, ice cream and whole milk, so I will try to make a shake for breakfast. I need to gain some weight really seriously and put some fat on - unfortunately my metabolism makes that a problem. My son in law has the same problem, so I will share my vanilla powder with him, and he will share his chocolate with me. I hope the ice cream and whole milk will make it more palatable.
I had forgotten what the rains can be like in a California fall and winter, but it all came back today. You can watch the rain come down in sheets, usually blowing sideways from the winds that seem to go along with the rain. The 10 day forecast is for temps in the 60's which I am happy enough with, and we'll have some sunny days as well.
I want to buy a generator for the truck camper, but don't know if I should get the 1000 model at about 26#, or the 2000 at 46#. I can no doubt lift 46# but do I want to? Some things are easier than others to lift at the same weight. I don't plan to use a lot of appliances in my shorter travels, so it's not like I absolutely require a larger model genny. And I can always hook up to 30 amp electric in campgrounds if I need to. I'm sure that whichever model I buy, I'll wish sometimes that I had the other. Murphy and his Laws no doubt have a lot to do with that.
- Good To Be Back
We went to the gym this evening and it felt pretty good for the most part. I know I lost some weight around the time of my last surgery but have recovered about 5# of it back, and looking to gain another 10#. It will take me a while I think...
- Uneventful Day
I spent about 3 hours of the day running back and forth to the laundry, but now I can wait 2 or 3 weeks if I want. In between trips I was on the phone trying to make arrangements for storing my camper for about 3 months, as well as some other calls and...
- The Incessant Wind!
I don't know how much I can take of this wind. It seems much worse today if that is possible, and I know it can get a lot worse than this. A look at the weather forecast calls for 16 mph winds this afternoon, but I'm sure the gusts are way higher...
- Trying To Get It All Together
This is the last week I will have to gather what I will take with me to Arizona. The week is sort of punctuated by "time wasters" - two doctor appointments! I have an appointment to see the doctor on Wednesday about the results of my bone scan as well...
- More Generator Talk
If you can take another few remarks about my generator purchase yesterday, I would first say how relieved I am that common sense won out over whatever the female version of "macho" is, and that I bought the cute little model! I was really hurting by yesterday...

What to do on a rainy day?
