Starting Week 3 of Isolation

Another uneventful day. It rained quite heavily this morning but, after working out for an hour and finishing the newspaper, I had a burst of energy (must have been the endorphins) and got several household chores completed. 

   The rain started to peter off around noon so I took the opportunity to walk down to the drug store although it was still spitting. I checked my P.O. Box. This is the one I use for the monthly lunch cheques - nothing in it because the April lunch has been cancelled but, you never know. 

   Before leaving the drug store I checked my blood pressure - systolic, high normal (I did a second check and it was down a bit), not surprising considering how stressful things are presently; diastolic, in the normal range.

   The rest of the day went as usual. Lunch followed by a nap, read a bit, worked on my puzzle, read some more, had a look to see if anything else has appeared in the garden (nope) but the rhubarb is showing some signs of life.

   Fixed dinner then checked my e-mails - and that's it for my day!

Dinner of fried fish and brussel sprouts. This was too much food so I saved some for another day.

Didn't spend so much time on my puzzle today but it is getting easier.

    1. It's not all aerobic. I will write about it tomorrow. It gets me through the first hour of the day and then I know I can relax.

    1. Good to here things are OK with you and yours. The jigsaws have been a godsend. I have almost a dozen and just rotate through them. I get them at the thrift store so some have pieces missing!

  3. I wish we had sone jigsaw puzzles to keep husband occupied. He is becoming so bored, being a very active outdoors person usually. When I suggested ordering some online he said no as it makes his back sore spending too long at a table. Sigh.

    1. Yes, I have to take a break periodically from bending over but I find them quite compulsive.

  4. I am missing my daily strolls because of the rain. I envy your burst of energy after working out. I am really trying to keep to the 12 hour fasting nothing after 7pm, nothing before 7am.

  5. I usually manage 14 hours but have slipped recently, nibbling in the evening. Naughty me! Too wet again today for a walk.
