2018 Life Logs, Day 17—Learning New Things and Planning Away
Date: Wednesday, January 17, 2018
Weather: Overnight Snow, Rainy Morning; High 37, Low 21 degrees F
Location: At Home in The Studio, Falmouth, MA

My day started with an email from my son encouraging me to dig those plastic baggies out of the trash because throwing them away is the worst possible scenario for the planet. My purpose in throwing them away was to save myself, but, of course, the planet is more important. So, I dug them out and stored them away far from my kitchen. Justin, thanks for the reminder.

I then went to the gym to find that I was the only person there for this morning’s Tabata class. I guess the overnight snow scared people away, although by the time I went to the gym the snow had turned to rain. Being the only participant, I relieved the instructor of her duties and headed home to exercise on my own. Then I spent the rest of the day listening and watching online health series and doing a little planning for the next couple of months. I continue to learn all sorts of new things on the health front, and there are so many things one could attend here in Falmouth and the immediate area that you have to look carefully at the offerings and make your picks. And I am still trying to figure out if and when I will travel to Puerto Rico to visit with Justin and family and meet up with Windbird. Windbird is still in the Bahamas and has to make her way south to the Turks and Caicos and then on to the Dominican Republic before heading across to Puerto Rico. That route is called the ‘Prickly Path’ and traversing it totally depends on the weather. It is now looking like early to mid-March, rather than late February, might be the right time for that trip. But it could end up being mid to late March. I need to check in with Justin and Jo on the change in timing and then just wait and see.
