⛱ as the day dwindles

  ⛱  thus the month will also

' boro is sunny and slightly humid but otherwise a fine day

tomorrow is Canada Day 🍁

Cheer the North !

[[  Well I've been checking out exercise for people about my age. You know 70 in the middle there and boy I'm sort of like I'm sort of like slightly more aggressive than maybe they recommend for somebody my age but then I always figure I've been doing this for so long that I'm allowed to. You know push things just a little bit ]]

the above in double brackets was dictated. all true

why is this there ? 

I am always thinking of the exercise part of my life. all medicos say that exercising is crucial to overall health

Ah, how much and what kind.

The theory so far. People around me walk, daily or often.
my take is that steady pace and reasonable strain are heart healthy steps.

BUT if you read into the exercise blurbs
Variety is crucial. My routine is rowing machine / elliptical and free weights + calisthenics of various types

hopefully covering a broad range of effort ( s )

AND I tell M .. . how useful dictation into Google is, just figure  " practice what you preach "

On May 26 - weigh in was 182.6 lb

This AM -      weigh in was 179 8

Goal was #176 by Jul 7

a slim chance of this at best.

πŸ—Ί Juneth is fading fasst

 πŸ—Ί its fading ..... fading ....

' boro is just fine thank you. Sun bit of warmth and fairly still air

the day begins

CHARGE !!!

well, the Dr wanted a blood test / PSA for prostate and urine
peeing was the hardest

there was lots, getting it into the vial was the chore

ah. this week has gone from angst and a rushed feeling to  ..... 
a lull in battle
beginning the week, I was hoping to focus the Dr s on M .. s weakness and falling etc
but the Dr s seem to get it and are on track
Slow but on track

they need those test results to sift through possibilities

πŸ‘œ closing in on the finale of Junius

 πŸ‘œ another month, whipped by

' boro weather is gray and humid [ slight ] bit of a breeze

the hospital runs continue and are bound for the horizon

the CBC ran a noon program of call ins ' Was the Medical Services, There for you "
what timing
today,  a Dr treating M .. [ yes, shes the one in the hospital ] fulfilled my request for follow up

in 3 minutes, she allayed my doubts and fears concerning the on going treatment and path needed to help M

thank you Dr .W ...

the story. dashing back and forth and being away from home WiFi, has inspired a need for data services on the go. Our old firm Speak out was offering good but paltry options.

today I succumbed and bought into a monthly service w/ 40 Gb of data per month.

🎧 R U hearing me

  🎧 the sound of silence or /

the silence of sound
alrighty, sunny in the ' boro. we re headed to high 70 s w/ small chance of rain
the rest of the week is milder and broken cloud

.... the beating of my heart is a rhythm  all wrong

here is the Air Supply lyrics 

The beating of my heart is a drum and it's lostAnd it's looking for a rhythm like youYou can take the darkness from the pit of the night

aha. there was ' rhythm ' in there

the story : the cordless phone set went wonky [ technical term for **** ]

there are 4 handsets working off a base unit.
to start. phone rang and I answered but ' dead air '
calling out produced one ring and then nada

tried the internet reset [ VoIP connection ]. 
unplugged the base and waited 10 minutes
- BTW, there was a whole whack of internet search going on as well

finally, called out and success 

maybe people can call in [ not even going to try that ]
LIAR ! I just called the house phone and left a message

and off the the family Doc
she was very co operative and did her best for me
