Adjusting to my lifestyle

Now that my sister is gone, I can't leave mom alone as long as I could before when my sister helped out with the mom coverage ... so I had to map out a four-leaf clover of 1-mile walks around my mom's neighborhood, with her house in the middle ... so I take these quick 1-mile walks and hopefully get all four of them in during the day so I've walked 4 miles or 1 hour ... it seems to work and I'm not away from mom long enough for her to get in trouble or worry about where I am. I hope this lasts for a while, cuz these walks are once again my sanity now that my sister is gone. And, while my sister was here, I did much too much snacking so I need to get back to good eating and exercise!

So far the news on my sister and her new life and career in Southern Cal is good. Here, Spring is in full bloom and I'm working in the yard a lot and that helps my mood.

Life is a bit boring, but at least nothing bad is currently happening ... and I pass the time getting phone calls from political candidates.
