🍁24 Apr

 ..... we are cool w/ cloud. But clean. Rain has done it's job.

Shopping this AM for milk and juice and yogurt and apple sauce 

Please note, milk was the essential and 2 nd trip was required b / c I forgot the milk  There must a word or phrase for ' went to buy X but forgot '

Amnesia or Alzheimer's does seem extreme 

Oh. On my emergency eye appt. ( past Tues ), I got rave reviews for ' clean and un - encrusted ' eye lid margins.

For 30 yrs, since Laser eye surgery to re - shape the cornea, I have been religiously treating Blepharitis.

Technically, Blepharitis and eye surgery are not related however quite a coincidence 

Twice weekly treatment is 10 - 14 min of sufficient eyelid warming followed by a massage and de - briding of the eye margins. Sterile lid wipes brush off debris and oil loosened by warming process.

Follow up. Whoops. Sun blasted out and made the day

🔌 ... XXIII of the IV

 🔌 sunny in the ' boro. mostly blue up there and the wind is stirring the lower branches. Temperatures as promised yesterday. Good on you

Wind is actually, brisk

Last night another re - union ala Chipotle for Leacock alums and staff. The alums came out a head 4 - 3. 

this completes my Leacock week. 
a alum is communication officer for the CCRA rec group
breakfast w/ an alum [ Expresso AM ]
last night

🎚 April 22 in the Scarbrough - Golfdale area

 🎚... not  sure where that Golfdale location comes from. But it appears on the Weather app locator for here

this week. hurdles cleared are 1) my lesion . blemish or keratosis is non lethal on my scrotum
2) my ' aura ' or pixilated vision spot in my field of view is not physically related to the eye itself. Therefore, causes would be environmental or neurological [ not necessarily good, that ]

further. I re newed my supply of Betaderm, a steroidal topical to fight itch and histamine producing bumps. I seem to have a flower allergy
And Fucidin cream. Not steroidal but antibiotic. Fucidin stops the pain and spread of infections at corners of my fingernails which happens regularly. Skin cracks and roughens and the pain starts. Fucidin is reliable

' boro is sunny. wind seems still w / temperature headed for near 60 F. Further, we will average 50 - 53 for seven days. All good that

Yesterday, at a former student [ friend ] s place  the topic of scary Sci Fi came up. I trotted out my ' pee producing ' frightener, the pod people movie. After, B .. looked up the movie, called Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and decided, No, he didn't need the trauma.

It seems, all my life, I needed to / wanted to carry emergency supplies e.g. matches, paper clips etc and, of course, on YouTube, there are multitudinous efforts at " Every Day Carry survival or emergency kits. "
Apparently, I need an Altoids [ metal lozenge can ]. Cute and protective. Thus EDC folks have their own custom assortment for the Altoid tins. I am shying away from metal [ flying restrictions ] and going for a reusable plastic bag. An ongoing project

🎛 ... tell it like it is ....

 🎛 ..... or not

' boro is slightly overcast, heading to 50 ish. not a lot of wind. 

Well, today, one more medical hurdle to meet. I experienced what might be an ' aura ', the medical term for a disruption in sight, typically described as a halo or fence or wall or my description which was a pixilated view.
Supposedly,  a result of migraine or headache or response to stress or dietary additives esp MSG

And my social whirl continues w / a short hop out East to Ajax and former student and friend.
As well, I opted to join a community association  CCRA and the women in charge of communication is a former student

🫖 20 th, it is ...

 🫖 ... ah, the sun and coolth. quite still out there. looking good

I regress. On YouTube, vocal coaches and would be - something's, highlight ' discoveries ', such as the BeeGee s in 2024, recorded in the 70 s. "Too much Heaven " e.g.
Thus, when I'm a few years behind the curve [ say 5 ] that is not terrible.

and, the Righteous Bros.

  All right today was visit the doctor s

. I found a blemish on my scrotal sack and was pretty worried. Waited a week for the appointment and found out that I have a mole. It's a sebborhaic keratosis,  non-cancerous.

 Probably won't get bigger. Might even fall off on its own great,  eh? 

 

🇾🇹 in the ' boro, 26 / 04 -19

  🇾🇹 overcast in the East of T.O. w / wind stirring the lower branches. And much cooler than yesterday 48 ? 

Taking advantage of AI to check or verify my BPM Average

" A heart rate of 116 BPM for a 76-year-old during a 35-minute workout generally falls within a moderate-to-vigorous intensity zone. 

For a 76-year-old, the estimated maximum heart rate is roughly 144-145 BPM (using 220 minus age). A rate of 116 BPM is approximately 80% of that maximum, which indicates a good cardiovascular workout. 

Key Considerations:

• Intensity: 116 BPM is likely in the higher end of the moderate range or lower end of the vigorous range (target zone for 75+ is often cited between 73–123 BPM).
• Duration: A 35-minute duration is excellent, as it exceeds the recommended minimum of 20-30 minutes for cardiovascular benefits.
• Safety: While this is a healthy exercise intensity, you should ensure you can still talk during the workout. If you feel dizzy, faint, or experience chest pain, stop immediately.
• Health Context: If you are not a trained athlete and your heart rate remains near 100+ bpm after you have rested, you may want to consult a doctor. 

my take. yesterday, was not special. I had no other goal than to do my regular routine. In the past , pre cold / flu this past 2 weeks, I did set a goal of 110 BPM after the first few minutes. Sort of a running start to the workout.
But no, yesterday, was ' warm up ' and then start callisthenics. 

So, a higher than normal AV BPM day

🔞 ... aprilius XVIII

 🔞  .... in the ' boro. partly cloudy and cool to warm. i.e. no coat going for the paper

branches, moving slightly.

Happening s: 2 loads of wash ( still waiting for folding)

Dinner was pan fried potatoes, mostly tasty but not golden brown / sausage from the Butcher

Imagine sausage that doesn't shrink by half during cooking. Peaches & cream corn buckets

Our day

Oops, Electrician guy came back to seal off the receptacle and junction box ( not really necessary but the live wires do pass thru )

And for today s workout, the Av BPM was 116 c f. 108 two days ago. We would point out that there was no purposeful extra exertion. The goal was a complete workout but no quantity targets
