I walked another 2 miles today and survived the 70° weather. When my brother came to pick me up today he had the air conditioner going so I turned my seat on warm and turned my side of the air conditioning temperature up to 80°. I’ll be marathon material in no time. I just wish I enjoyed walking. If walking wasn’t so painful I could go farther and wouldn’t mind walking. But ever since I stopped using the Fentanyl patch I hurt from my neck to my feet and walking intensifies it. When I swam 5 miles a day at the YMCA I drove across the street for an ice cream bar. Speaking of ice cream while I was walking the ice cream truck came by and believe you me it was all I could do to keep from getting a 50-50 bar. I love those things. But unfortunately I was strong and resisted the temptation. Well I have been thinking about that 50-50 bar ever since that ice cream truck drove by. I wanted it even more than usual because I haven’t had any candy cookies or any other sweets today believe it or not. And to make matters worse I even cooked today. Chicken in French onion soup with asparagus & sweet potatoes. I thought it was good. It wasn’t as creative as some of the concoctions hurricane Mary (@imallears) would make to satisfy her sophisticated palette but it will keep me alive.
Happy trails to y’all,
Jake

@jakedduck1 I love it! Why did you stop the fentanyl patch? Did the doctor replace it with something else? Becky

That meal sounds delicious! If you cook again, I’ll bring dessert! 🤗
After 2 weeks and a few days of no walking - due to sub zero temps and then ice surfaces as a result - it was 40 degrees today in southern WI! Icicles crashing off houses, snow melting. I walked 2.2 miles today, yay! Felt SO good to get out and move!
Then I spread some Ice Melt on my driveway in areas where it’s shaded by a huge old spruce tree. We had so much snow pack it’s going to take at least a few more days to melt. Supposed to stay above freezing this week!
