February 18th – Day 48  of My 2026 Daily Activity Journal

Winter is back in Saskatchewan!   The snow looks light and fluffy but I broke the head of our broom in half this morning sweeping off our back landing. 🧹

Molly is enjoying the snow!  She loves going out,  but coming in is another story.  Her fur gets so packed with snow that we have to use her hair rake to brush it out before we can towel dry her.

It will take Dan and his snowblower to clean off our walks and paths.

The boys next door shoveled  off our city sidewalk.

Molly tried, but failed to convince Dan to take their morning walk.

I haven’t heard from my respirologist’s office to review the results of my recent sputum test, but I am feeling good and able to keep up with my daily routine.

Since this is a Wednesday, I have aerobics, weights, and treadmill to do.  I will see about shoveling off the front steps and landing after Dan is done the walks.   My lungs don’t love the wind at the best of times – and today we have wind.  🤷‍♀️

That’s it for today.  Take care and have a great day!🤗💞🌞

January 4th – Day 3 of My 2026 Daily Activity Journal

Today things are starting to come together!

For the past few days, I have been seriously focussed on healing – daily aerobics, healthy diet, serious hydration, fresh air, and SOLID sleep – 8 to 10 hours a night!

Today is Sunday.  Typically this is my ‘rest’ day.  At this point, I do not work out hard enough to need a day to rest,  but Health and Fitness is more than physical – SO  today, I will indulge in some self pampering – show  my hands some love with a hot waxing and a manicure, do some reading, maybe (finally) finish my Christmas Jigsaw puzzle.

Tomorrow, I will get back on track to increase my activity levels in 2026.   As well as doing my daily aerobics, getting back on the treadmill, and starting back to light weight workouts, I have set one goal for the first week of 2026…

This week, I am going to get out and about to visit one of our local malls.  There is nothing that I particularly need to buy – I just need space space to walk (preferably space that is not covered with ice and snow) and the opportunity to mingle with humanity outside of my immediate family.

It is not that I am totally antisocial.   Since Covid I have avoided unnecessary contact.  Since I developed this miserable chronic cough,  that I am working to overcome, I have been avoiding necessary contact as well.

I am well overdue for a haircut, an eye examination, a visit to my dentist, and probably more!

So… first steps first.. I need to get myself out there and prove to myself that I am ready to re-enter society. 

This seems to be a happening place!  I wonder what happened to all my fellow shoppers?

If this goes well, who knows where it  will lead?  Museums, art galleries, floral conservatory…my options are endless.
