2018 Winter January 23 Tuesday

35 degrees this morning, (feels like 26), walk 34:45 minutes 

Cool walk this morning, but no wind.  If the wind had been blowing like yesterday it would have been unbearable!

First day in over a week that I have followed by regular morning exercise routine (walk, sit-ups and weight lifting (dumbbells and barbell bench press).  I am going to add “interval” training, which I feel will be really valuable as well as some other light machine or weight training.  

I realize I need to somehow fit this into my schedule and I just need to start!  Our HOA has a small workout equipment area only a block from our house, so rather than try to travel to a gym, I plan on starting to use that.  The equipment is  pretty limited, but at least it will be a start.  

Listening to the biography on Grant.  I don’t know how some people can write in such an interesting manner, but (Ron Chernow) really makes it fascinating.  I have read several biographies on Grant, but still find this fascinating.  I am going to find other books he has written.  

No “pace” time until I get my Apple watch back.  Somehow the Apple Watch became somewhat of an essential part of my life, both for exercise, communication, appointments etc. as well as just the addiction (in a positive way) of instant communication with the weather and my location, 

Waiting to see what is going to happen with the Apple Watch. Probably positive but I’ll wait to see.

Medical test this morning, something I hate but obviously is necessary.  Nothing serious (no invasive testing etc.).  

Another dream that was really intense.

Dreamed I was parked on an area overlooking either an ocean, a large boy or water or a valley (I never did look, it was just a presence).

At first, I was parked and a car parked beside.  Several children got out and were taken somewhere.  

Then (I not sure how the transition happened) there was a car parked right next to a concrete wall.  A person was on the ground, partially under the car wearing shoes that looked like what is commonly considered women’s tennis shoes.

There was a large bunch of blankets or other material covering the person.  

At first I kind of looked in amazement. They for some reason I thought it might be Aliene and I grabbed and started taking off the blankets.

It wasn’t Aliene, but a women who acted as if she wasn’t totally conscious.   

I took out my cell phone to call, but found a part of my cell phone was gone, and it twirled around and around so I had a hard time getting it to to stop ao  I could call 9-1-1.  

I started thinking I had to take it to the Apple store so I could get it fixed.  It was twirling around so I knew I had to keep it together.

I thought of the woman again and asked her if she wanted me to call 9-1-1.  She muttered a little, but didn’t really respond.

Two children came back and I realized they were her children.  I said “I’m calling 9-1-1” and woke up in a cold sweat (figuratively)  It stuck with me for a long time.  I wasn’t going to write it down because it was so unpleasant but decided too after it stuck with me so long.

That’s it for now, Tuesday, January 23, 2018.
