Bank Error In Your Favor

This is the second day in a row I started writing before breakfast. Maybe I can get back in the habit. Since I started walking regularly people keep saying things like “I bet you are feeling better now.” The answer is no, I feel worse. One benefit of being sessile for a year is that […]

My Gut: literal and figurative

Guess who is having another intestinal obstruction episode? Come on guess. Nobody? It’s me. I woke up feeling fine. I was hungry and ready to eat. I got up, stopped at the bathroom, and boom, it hit me. It’s relatively mild but it’s still there. As this is two weeks in a row I think […]

Remember Tulsa

How have I not written for three days? Sure, I haven’t done much but that’s no excuse. I honestly don’t know why I didn’t write yesterday. I just checked to see if I wrote something and forgot to post it, no, didn’t happen. The first two skipped days were because I was sick. I simply […]

Viscera vs Brain

Today’s plans are shot; I’m sick. I suspect it started as a reaction to something I ate that then triggered swelling in my intestines leading to an obstruction. I won’t give you the gory details, just that I’ve spent most of today sleeping and haven’t eaten anything. As you might guess that meant no Donut […]

A Nebulous Post

Yesterday’s dilemma was whether or not to go on the Donut Walk™. I’ve gone twice since I threw my back out. One time it was not worth the pain. I had trouble making it home. The other time wasn’t as bad, but part of that was chance. There was a hard surface I could put […]

Back to the Future

Sorry I didn’t write yesterday. I can’t believe how long I waited to start today. Everything in my life seems to be on hold but Gord’s Gold. That’s the one thing that I can always work on. Today I got a box of CDs and a digital download. That a lot of listening homework. What […]

Donuts and Breathing: The keys to Health

I did not go on a Donut Walk™ yesterday. That’s sad as on Mondays Krispy Kreme also gives you a free coffee. The reason is I had to go food shopping and Aldi is in the opposite direction. It was drizzling so I did not get much waking in either. That’s as far as I […]

Fast Recovery

Yesterday did not go well; I slept through much of it. That hasn’t happened since I started taking my Donut Walks™. I should have forced myself to go on the walk early but didn’t because I was expecting a delivery from Amazon. The irony is that it was my new French press; indirectly coffee was […]

Back to Not Walking

I’m not taking a Donut Walk™ today. I woke up with my back hurting and decided that’s my body’s way of saying, “take a day off.” I thought my arthritis was in remission but perhaps it’s just that I went a year putting hardly any stress on it. I have not been wearing my backpack […]

Best Day of the Year

Today is April 1 so here’s a warning; I’m going to fool you. I’m happy to announce that I’m totally over my Crohn’s attack. Today I ate breakfast, eggs Horvendile served on flatbread, and took my Donut Walk™. I’m back to feeling like a human being. I walked 3.58 miles. I stopped on the way […]
