I searched the image library for a living room, and got this. Seems to fit our group!

I failed to think ahead, and come up with a great theme, and some videos about any such theme, to post here. So, another “Uncle Mark, and his slice of life”, is what I will present.

I just got done with my long walk, six times around the apartment complex. I don’t do that every day, but I was in the mood for it this time. I started at 8:30 PM, and kept walking until 9:30 PM. That should be three miles. When I walk far away from my home, I only walk less than a mile out, then back. So, when I walk these laps, it is more of a workout for me. I pushed myself to do it, because I need exercise, to avoid depression.

On my walk, I saw a firefly. When I was a kid, we called them lightning bugs. That is the first one I have seen this year.

I also saw, in the west, a crescent moon, and the planet Venus, shining bright.

Before I went out the door, I was eating a kind of salsa, made with free English cucumbers, free tomatoes, free orange bell peppers, and free Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning powder, all mixed up in my blender. Very tasty! I ate some of the smoked rib meat my neighbor gave me, to go with the salsa. It felt good, to process some of that free food, so I could eat it, rather than letting it rot in my fridge. And that salsa is all water and fiber and beneficial nutrients, according to all the experts on nutrition. Thumbs up!

I will now give us all a music break, with a song from my Sunday Music of 1985 diary:

Here is the caption I posted for this song:

She is supposedly singing about some man, who is a smooth operator? Oh, no. With the way she sings that song, she is the smooth operator.

Let me know in the comments if you agree with me on that.

Earlier in the day, at 2:30 PM, my nurse came by, to check my vital signs, temp, blood pressure, pulse, and oxygen level. All good. It feels so good, to have my Medicare and Medicaid pay for such dedicated nurses. She comes by every two months. If I ever need help with my chores, I can get her agency to pay my sister-in-law, as my home health aide, to help out. I am always behind on dishes, so, it almost seems like a grey area right now. Maybe two or three years from now, I might ask for help. But as of right now, how can I walk three miles, and then say I need help?

One more song from my music diary:

And once again, the caption:

That is what we all say to each other. We all want all the others to “be good to me.”

So, take care of yourselves, and each other.

Hugs!
