Good day. I started with swimming at the Kiwanis heated pool - an amazing facility. Then I went and spent some time with my mother. Picked up groceries on the way home, and am now setting my sights on June's short story contest. I think I have an idea!

Today's highs:
Maintained a low-carb diet for the second day. I have a sweet tooth so just writing this is a drain on my willpower
Started water aerobics and walked nearly 5,000 steps
Wrote a blog post
Lows
I spent several hours trying to set up my new Lenovo tablet. I want to add Norton anti-virus from an existing account, but despite having a link directly from Norton, the piggin' thing keeps diverting to Google Play, and I can't log in.
Zucchini. I have 29 baby zucchini and every one is turning yellow and withering on the plant.

Thanks. Time + Cat Cuddles + Food = getting better. I think I had too much sugar yesterday.

It's surprising how food can impact our health. Have you read

I've really tried to get onto healthy food. Lots of veggies and lean meat.
Yeah, it is surprising how much food can effect you. I am currently Gluten-Free by choice and it's helped a lot. I have also been eating more protein. I also have been trying to eat less corn as it makes me anxious. Anyway, I haven't been perfect lately, but I think life just threw me a curveball today. But eating less sugar is a goal of mine.
I have a real sassy cat that's kinda bratty, but if she senses anxiety or sadness in me, she snuggles up sweetly. Life is better with cats, dogs, pets in general.
Today for me is decent. Hurt my ankle and had to trek a long ways back home on it, but, while icing it I laid back and brought out a story of mine that never feels quite done. Didn't work it all out, but, I feel I made some progress. Quite happy about it.
Pip, so good to see you here.
Isn't that the wonderful thing about cats? Mine was very attentive when he sensed I was anxious.
I am sorry you hurt your ankle. I hope it feels better soon and I am happy to hear you got some writing done.

It's amazing how they sense our moods. I wish men were that intuitive LoL
Still can't figure out how to bypass Google Play to load Norton anti-virus. I now regret buying the tablet in the UK as I have no service staff backup. Who knew setting up a tablet would be so difficult.
I did some more work on my Buddha painting. More exercises in the pool, and swam 10 lengths—my first swim of the year. Diet still on track. Getting sugar withdrawal moods.

I got a couple more arms done on the new (hopefully) raccoon-proof birdfeeder. However, my offset nipples want to cross-thread when I put them in the flanges.
And I know there's a slew of bad jokes in there.

For some unknown reason, my cat has curled up and fallen asleep on my steel-toed work shoes. I can't imagine the odor is that enjoyable.

I'm saying "today," meaning Thursday the 29th because I haven't been to bed yet, even if it is 4:00 AM.
Feeling kind of empty, and guilty too, as it was the last school day of the year and I didn't get any sub teaching gigs at all this week. Nothing more till September . . .
Was supposed to do a half-day afternoon this morning, but the school secretary called me at 9:00 AM and told me the teacher had rescinded the absence. I could have gone in two days this week for a middle school teacher, but it isn't my preference. Damn, should have taken them anyway, if only for the paycheck.
Worked off my discontent planting vegetables in my garden. Don't know what kind of yield I'll get, my back yard is so shaded. And it's been cold and cloudy here in western Pennsylvania most of the spring.
Never mind. The garden's in, it was good, hard work, and it's better than I did last year.

I like the beginnings of the week, make me feel like almost everything is possible. It's sunny today but not too hot, and I still have few pages to write, online meeting to attend and emails to wait for. I live relatively far away from the city centre and have been missing a lot of cultural events and shows recently, and should probably change that in the near future. If I have time (and focus) I'll read the stories submitted for the competition in this forum, think I prefer reading story collections rather than novels, or novels that are written as short story collections and have pauses between the chapters.
