For several years I’ve been keeping a journal. I’m not very regular with it. My typical time to write is in the evenings, after everything else is done and we are watching TV.

• Up at 5:50 a.m. Weight 202.0; blood sugar 117.
• Walked 2 miles, my fourth straight day to walk that distance, and my tenth day of morning walking in an effort to improve strength and stamina ahead of my surgery.
• To The Dungeon, without coffee. Devotional reading (currently in a book on prayer) and prayer.
• Begin work on the Bible study I’m writing. My goal was to write one section, about 600 words. I was able to do that. Had time left, so began work on the next section. It was a good time of writing.
• No book sales when I checked early.
• Reviewed the stock market and made one trade.
• Upstairs for breakfast of sausage-onions-peppers-eggs-cheese on pita bread, then outside to do some light yardwork.
• Checked on two home improvement items. Our propane company did change out the hardware on the propane takes as I asked. Someone called me about it a couple of weeks ago but the reception was so bad that I couldn’t understand him. And, I called the plumbing supply store about the replacement toilet seats I wanted to buy. They had never called me. I learned they couldn’t find one of the right size, material, and color that I need. So I researched and found one on Amazon and ordered it. Let’s hope the color matches.
• Worked on scanning documents to save electronically and then discard the papers. I got rid of three stray genealogy papers and a number of writing site papers. I only need two more days at that pace to get rid of one more notebook.
• Read in the sunroom. Cloud cover made it easy to do today. May have napped a little out there.
• Lunch of leftover pizza, crackers, and blackberries.
• Made a blackberry cobbler to give away.
• Back to The Dungeon for a few more computer tasks, including managing correspondence.
• Looked through some books to choose a couple to take to the hospital with me.
• Rested upstairs in my reading/TV watching chair. Worked on crossword puzzles but fell asleep.
• Read three letters in the Carlyle Letters Online.
• Had supper of leftover taco salad, still quite good on the fourth day. Dessert for me was, you guessed it, blackberries with a little sugar sprinkled on them.
• Wrote a letter to my second grandson, which I’ll mail tomorrow.
• Remembered I needed to write a blog post for tomorrow, and so started writing this.

Well, that seems to describe a full day. Maybe I’ll actually find time to write this in my journal.
