(WEDNESDAY--August 30, 2023) Ya see, y'AAALL? This is what I NEEEED!

 ... 

Today my mom SEMI-surprised me by visiting with my sister & my best friend from childhood.

(I say "SEMI-surprised," because she only told me about these entirely UN-expected visitors yesterday.)

I chatted, played Scrabble & played Connect Four with my [VERY welcome] company.  I will NOT mention who won EVERY game we ALL played, because I am NOT a braggart.


... But, I strongly yearn to return to my [EXTREEEEEEMELY] sociable past.  Writing/Authorship is a very LONESOME profession.

(TUESDAY -- August 29, 2023) I have certain ... OBLIGATIONS.

 ... Actually, my my rather unique deeds are more commitments than "obligations."  Instead of my usual MORNING-writing, I conducted a LOOONG conversation with my [MAIN] nurse about taking the GOOD info outta BAD situations.

WORKOUT:
-- LEFT handed finger stretches with a rubber band

-- 20 bicep curls on left arm with 10 lb dumbbell
-- 30 regular bicep curls and 20 hammer curls on right arm with 15 lb dumbbell

-- 10 isomeric leg extensions with my trainer's resistance on the left leg

-- Walking on the parallel bars forward (2 laps), backwards (2 laps) and sideways (just 1 lap) 
   ... Trainer asked to film me for his business --> I approved with this 'Jerry Maguire' quote,
"Help ME help YOU."

-- HIP-ups: 160 total but 90 reps then rest and then 70 reps
I set my NEW RECORD-HIGH!  
(... But, it comes with an asterisk: I only performed that many, because I had an EXTRAordinarily LONG break in between sets, that I'll NEVER have again.))

-- Tricep extension 2 sets each arm 
   ... 1 set of 20 reps & 1 set of 15 reps on the left side--both with 10 lbs 
   ... 2 sets of 15 reps on the right--both sets were with 15 lbs

-- 30 ball hamstring curls with 2 legs but also single leg hamstring curls 20 reps with each leg

   ... 30 calf raises

-- ~16 minutes on BIKE

--> CONTRARY to my usual routine, instead of watching television, I just wrote & read sports articles.
   ... I wrote several poems--specifically, haiku.
   ... I wrote a few pages of assorted books.
