He Went To New Orleans

Today my husband left to go to New Orleans. He is sending the week with his family to celebrate Christmas. He says I can go each year but I decide not to. I spent the time by myself doing things I like to do while he’s gone. It is good to have some time away from time to time.

I spent the day cleaning up and watching Christmas movies. This evening I watched Holiday Inn. It’s one of my favorites. It seems that most of my favorite Christmas movies were made in the 1940s. They have just the right feel to enjoy the holiday.

Using the exercise app I did a workout of 1.08 miles. I didn’t walk on the treadmill though. I was doing things around the house and moving fast enough to get my heart rate up. I didn’t close the exercise ring but I did close the others. I think this week is going to be slow in the exercise area but I’ll get back to it next week in the new year.

Changed Appointment

Today I was supposed to have an appointment with a psychiatrist at Kaiser to talk about medication for mild depression and to help sleep and to help quit smoking (again).

The appointment was for 2:50 PM. I drove all the way to Falls Church on one of the busiest travel days of the year to go to the appointment. When I got there they told me my appointment was for NEXT Friday. I was SO mad. I knew the doctor told me on Wednesday that it was for THIS Friday. I think they changed the appointment without telling me. That’s fine. I’ll go NEXT Friday and hopefully get some meds.

Today I started a series of pictures for Christmas with the Christmas Monkey. The photos are to post on Instagram. Today the Christmas Monkey is playing in the Christmas tree.

I walked on the treadmill today but only walked 1.26 miles. That’s all I needed to close the exercise ring. I did end up closing all three rings on the Apple Watch.

Joy of Christmas

Today we went to the Joy of Christmas concert at the National Cathedral. We go every year. The music and singing are always spectacular. I like singing along to the Carols. We usually go to dinner right after but we had a wine tasting to get to this evening.

I walked a total of 3.44 miles today. No treadmill.

Happy Thanksgiving

My husband’s parents are in town for a while. Today we celebrated Thanksgiving. We had both chicken and turkey breast. It was delicious as usual. I hope you had a great Thanksgiving too!

I walked a total of 1.45 miles today. I should have walked more considering how much I ate today.
