my micro-blog
Early evening Monday and I'm satisfied with my level of productivity today, especially considering the amount of insomnia that hit me last night, that insomnia caused by a number of factors, the principal one being overeating too late in the day. That never works well for me.

It's been over 2 ½ decades since I've retired and I'm STILL having those damned UPS-themed nightmares! Not every night, but too damned often.
This Sunday's Mass will be in the evening, 6:00 PM at St. Anthony Mary Claret Catholic Church out on the far West side of town. I'll be doing KofC Honor Guard work there, Showtime is 5:30 PM. Sylvia and I have never been there before, hope we find it without too much trouble.
Every day my resolve to back off from my current load of KofC activities is strengthened. I simply no longer have the physical nor mental energy to do the work asked of me as it should be done. 2023 will be a good year for that to begin happening significantly.

Midday Saturday and I am SO STUFFED! Just finished a great home-cooked meal: cut green beans, whole kernel corn, and 3 big baked pork chops.
Good College Football on the radio all day long followed by Game 2 of the World Series this evening. Yep, my entertainment for this Saturday is all set.
One chore I hope to handle this afternoon is pulling some of my cool weather clothes out of storage and putting away my lighter, summer gear. After the meal I just ate settles, I'll get to that.

Midday Friday and all is well here. I'm coming to terms with the effects, both physical and mental, that aging has on me. And that helps me adjust my plans for 2023. I WILL be slowing down!

Could use a good nap. Had a short one an hour or so ago, and that helped. I surely could use another one but I doubt if I'll have time for it. Soon I'll start getting myself ready for Knights of Columbus Honor Guard work at the Cathedral this evening.

Waiting now for a return phone call from a brother Knight who I offered to give a ride to tonight's meeting. I sent him an email late morning, and got no reply to that. Then I called him on the phone an hour ago. He said he was busy and away from home, but he'd call me when he got back home. Hope he calls within the hour because I'll need to leave myself for the meeting.

So Monday saw me wrapping up necessary household chores, and this Tuesday found me making good progress re: preparing for tomorrow night's Assembly meeting. Had good text comms with 4 different KofC officers during this afternoon. Sylvia's new compression leggings seem to help with her leg and lower abdomen pain so I've ordered her two more pair.
Remaining prep work for tomorrow night's meeting should be easily handled during the day. Hoping now for a good night's sleep. Tomorrow will be a long, busy day. I hope to make it a good one.

The week ahead will be very busy, and keeping a good attitude will be key to making it through in good form. A Wednesday meeting, a Thursday District Fallout, and next Sunday's District Fallout will be the public activities. Today and Tuesday will be spent organizing and preparing for Wednesday's meeting, while Friday and Saturday will be important rest days, recovering from Wednesday and Thursday in preparation for next Sunday's Fallout.
Productive preparation today and tomorrow can best happen if I remain calm and focused, not allowing myself to become distracted by needless worry.

Midday Sunday and I'm happy with how my day's gone so far. Walked over to 10:00 Mass, and had pleasant though short chats with brother Knights when I picked up Sylvia's menudo at the KofC breakfast after Mass.
Rejoined Gab Social today and went Gab Pro. I'll ease my way into activity there and we'll see how that goes.
Watching the Cowboys vs. Lions game this early afternoon has been fun. Happy to see the Cowboys winning under Dak Prescott.

This Saturday's off to a pretty good start. Sylvia cooked me a BIG breafast, more than I could possibly eat. And I've got the radio call of today's IU Hoosiers vs Rutgers College Football playing through the TuneIn Radio Channel on my Roku TV now, and more good College Football ahead of me until tonight's Svengoolie.
