2025 Daily - 08/18/2025

 Here I am today ... writing... And note: yesterday's writing was just published today but WAS written yesterday.

Today, this morning - 9:05am or so... I am home after being in Clayton w/Ellen. Very nice dinner and a partial view of an interesting looking movie - The Order ... and hugs and sleep and close niceness. I am fortunate! I will miss her this weekend.. She will be with grandchildren and that is wonderful. I will find something to do, etc... And then maybe figure a little trip or something for Labor Day Weekend. 

Soon I will play my daily playing of piano after a trip to Costco, then visit Jim and then workout and tonight I will go to Anticipatory Bereavement and check in and probably check out, too. OH .. and cleanup around my house? My office and maybe 2nd Guest room where a computer files transfer device resides and I need to try and then get rid of the computers.

AS always - till I start actively answering the question - what shall I do? Dogs, kids, something?

AND talk soon/first with Rabbi - what to do after Shloshim... and assuming shloshim is appropriate/correct for my sister. I will do the 30 days and have a celebretory oneg on Sept. 4th at the Thursday minyan.

NOTE: I've been taking my blood pressure a bit recently as I have a device now at home. Today it was just 123/77 - GREEN ... and previously it has been higher but I don't think TOO high. Generally the bottom number has been below 95 ... I will take it again in a moment to confirm.126/74 after a double squeeze 150/76. note: I took 20mg cialis about 20 hours ago. BP at 1pm:

AHHHHhhhhh.... it is now 6pm... I'm at anticipitory bereavement .... perhaps the last time... I'm reporting in as noted above... It was a good experience ... I am grateful to have been part of that group and expect to go next week and talk a bit about my thoughts on legalities of assisted suicide...

invent, re-invent, pivot.... or/and - re-engaging...!!! For CARE-GIVERS - who identify as such ... for long periods ... does pursuing care-giving as a service???
