I won this Correspondence Chess game today, catching the Black King with a nifty Queen-Bishop-Knight Combination Checkmate.

Replaced the front yard flag pole, new flag pole kit, new American flag. Looks way better.

Dozing my way through a very rainy Wednesday. Thunder and stormy weather woke me several times during last night. And the rain has continued through the morning, is expected to continue through the afternoon and evening and into the night, not stopping until after midnight. Good sleeping weather, this.

Back to the note cards.
For a large chunk of my adult life I was a heavy user of 3x5 note cards to organize my daily activities. I've gotten away from that in recent years. It is my intention to begin using them again. Starting today.

Note to self: just because you can wake up relatively pain-free and able to walk from room to room without the aid of a walking stick, that is NOT a reason to stop taking the pain meds! Better to consider reducing the dosage at each scheduled time the meds are to be taken and see how that works.

Another pretty good Sunday winds down. The hips were still wonky enough to keep me home, but less wonky than they've been for weeks.
I've been able to take all meds on schedule today, and have operated about as stress-free as possible.

Saturday went well, I'm happy to say. Didn't do anything special, but I was able to stay closer to my regular schedule of taking eye drops and meds throughout the day, chess work, etc. Now if I can get a good night's sleep, maybe my hips will be better tomorrow. That would be nice.

Friday night and I'm exhausted. The only productive thing I've done all day was my personal laundry. 2 big loads, one of colors, the other of whites, but that was enough to wear me out. Dang. That's pitiful!

Now this is MUCH more like it! After the past several days of bitterly cold weather, we're treated to a sunny, 70 degree afternoon.

With my birthday cake today at Olive Garden. Yes, that is a “7” candle and a “5” candle, 75 y/o today. And I have so much to be thankful for!
