Saturday,
2 December 2017. I finished a day-and-a-half legal deposition this
morning and then managed to get in a very slow walk this afternoon.
The walk left me completely exhausted and I slept for an hour and a
half afterward. This was the first walk I have managed for several
days. Thursday was taken up by a visit to the dentist and an
attorney's meeting, and Friday and Saturday were consumed by the
deposition. I did finally resume walking on Sunday.
It
is now Monday, 18 December and we are preparing for the kids arrival
for a Christmas visit later this week. I had a few bad days recently
but am now back to my regular one-mile walk most days. The weather
has been cooperating and it has been sunny most of the time. We
haven't actually had any rain for several months now, but sometimes
it is cloudy and rather dreary. I do like the sun.
For
my regular mile-long walks, I choose between two separate routes.
One is a straightforward route to the end of a street, returning the
same way. The other utilizes several different streets in a sort of
loop and is a bit more interesting. Each route has a resting spot at
about the mid-point of the walk, a very welcome fixture. The
out-and-back walk resting spot is a conveniently-parked trailer
(right)
that I have seen moved only once in all the months I have walked this
way; it is usually bathed by the sun when I arrive and is thus a nice
place to stop on a winter day. 
The loop walk resting spot is an
upended rock (left) in the
edge of Bill the Boatman's yard. (the owner's name is Bill and I
call him the Boatman because he has several boats parked on his
property and does repairs for others).
