Friday was like this - get up at 6am for 8:05am BESC hike up lower FR181 (off West Jemez) and down Short-cut Trail, back to the twin water tanks (led by Bill Davis - Mary still not leading hikes but came to sign us in - she said they still don't have a diagnosis for whatever's ailing her), then, spouse met Joe and Ron at Viola's while I stayed home and ate lunch, departed for Santa Fe shopping trip at 12:30pm, back home by 3:30pm or so, put everything away, ate supper, picked up daughter to go up to upper FR 181 so she could jog (she liked the trail - I liked going to the trail in early evening - she jogged - I walked), back home past 7pm and then spouse wanted to walk to Gordon's Concert where we stayed very briefly, and I finished day with resistance exercises and stretches.
Saturday was sleep in until 9pm and then a late afternoon hike on the lower Water Canyon Trail outside of White Rock. I have to convince spouse that White Rock is too hot to walk in until October. I collected various flower samples to identify but didn't make much progress. Everyone thinks that I know flowers but I really don't so I'd like to refresh my knowledge.
Spouse was so tired after the over-heated walk in lower Water Canyon that he suggested going to Santa Fe on Sunday rather than hiking again. When I woke up and saw it was cloudy and had been raining overnight, I agreed that we'd do that. We stopped at the new, not yet open, REI and its next door neighbor, Borders. Then we went to Walmart where I picked up my one and only prescription that I take. Spouse dropped me off at Bed, Bath, and Beyond, next to Vitamin Cottage/Natural Grocers, while he went to Panda Express for lunch (my lunch was a pint of carrot juice and a protein Organic Food Bar). I unsuccessfully looked for a new pillow at BBB and then shopped for some Rocky Mountain National Park trip food at VC/NG. When we got home, I went out again to drop off at daughter's the Sunday newspaper and treats for grandson for his school lunches. Then I stopped at the library. Now I'm briefly on the computer before I eat supper - starving!
I'm reading a book called the Anti-Alzheimer's Prescription. It's very interesting and definitely makes me feel I should add daily brain neurobics (as the author of the book, Dr. Vincent Fortanasce calls them) to my daily routine before my brain cells rot away.
As I type this, it's pouring down rain again but no thunder and lightning. My walk tonight may be interesting.
