I woke up at 8, played games for a long time, and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast. After that it was surfing until it warmed up enough to take the dog to Circle C. While I was surfing I continued to copy the books we'd bought yesterday from CD to mp3 files.
Because she hadn't had any run yesterday Abby started out running long and hard again. There was no reason to go to the creek, it's dry. Instead we did a longer walk around all of the soccer fields. We took the back path so Abby cold run through the woods. She did.
When we were done we went to the Italian place for lunch. Of course there was a stop at Tomlinson's first. After that I stopped for coffee, 62 degrees justified it. Then it was home.
I surfed for a while. While I was surfing I continued to copy the books. Eventually I copied 24 discs. When the copying was done I switched to videos. The MT10 came a little after 6. I unboxed it and sent a picture of it to Hooch. I'm not sure if I will run it or wait until the new parts are in.
Ellen fixed a great dinner - steak, baked potatoes, and garlic bread (from the Italian place). It was really good.
After dinner it was videos and a little shopping on AliExpress.
I'm 71 today. I'm feeling old. I ache a lot and tire easily. That's probably because I'm so fat. The more worrisome thing is that I'm getting forgetful. I have to write down lists. Sometimes I forget words and can't recall them for hours. I can't do simple arithmetic in my head any more. I think the worst thing is that I'm feeling my mortality. I'm not afraid of death, there's no point in that. I am afraid of getting too old to take care of myself and Ellen. I'm really afraid of out living Ellen.
Birthdays are supposed to be a time of celebration. I'm afraid I'm too old to celebrate them any more.
