happy little goals

Freaking cat. 

Joseph the Meower. 

Got water-gunned  at 2 am. 

Housemates alarm went off at 4 am. 

He kept hitting snooze. 

And finally gave up. 

We’re all old farts.  

Going to bed at 8 and 9 pm. 

Well- I am. I value sleep. 

So many steps at the VA. 

I have to park 1/2 mile away. 

It’s a huge facility. 

If I were smart (or smarter) 

I would have applied there

When I was 30, and retired. 

From it and the Army Reserves. 

But I’m actually not that smart. 

Still digging my salads. 

Loved this Pepper Poppers

Tomato, basil, EVOO

Balsamic Vinegar and 

Homemade Mozzarella Cheese. 

Watching Moby Dick. 

I love films. 

I’m late to the world of TV and film. 

See? 

My first goal was to get through

My knee injury 

And not be afraid of dogs. 

I refuse to be afraid of anything. 

My housemate said I didn’t get the Pap Smear

Because I am afraid of the results. 

That’s his way of thinking-

Not mine. 

Nothing is farther from the truth. 

That’s like saying your girlfriend left

 because she was afraid 

Of finding True Love- 

When the truth is, she didn’t even like you. 

I didn’t get the Pap Smear

because I think it’s unnecessary.

And regardless of what they find,

I can’t take years off work

For treatment. 

Welcome to America. 

Trekkie is 5. 

She hit 88,888. 

I once wanted to travel

To be a Climate Refugee. 

But now with all the wildfires 

Climate Change, and Covid-

It’s a good time to stay put. 

The Devil you know- ya know! 

So. Goals. 

Now that summer heat

 is scheduled to reduce itself, 

My goal is to once and for all 

Lose my last 20 pounds. 

Or 10 or 15 or whatever. 

I haven’t regained

Except for when I broke my leg. 

And I lost that- and maintained 

My diet is solid. 

I need 2 things. 

More fasting. 

And less Monster drink. 

I think know the artificial sweeteners 

Are causing an insulin response. 

How do I know? 

My Blood Glucose goes DOWN
