Nice warm day outside so I got a few walks in. Lots of daffodil bulbs working hard already. I’m sure all that hard work will be in vain at the next freeze but they make me look forward to spring.

Went to a new place for my daily treat. I forgot the name already but the coffee was good.

I need to remember this place. It’s a gluten free bakery and the cookie was good, not great. I’d love to find a gluten free place in town to recommend. I’ll keep going back and try a few different things.

Started and finished a book, Project Hail Mary. It’s fun to read and very sciencey. Same author as The Martian.

I’ve decided to go ahead and like my new neighbor. We haven’t met or anything, but he has two great attributes; he’s gone before I wake up in the morning, and is quiet starting at or after 8 pm. I think he’s a general kind of working for a living guy, which I respect a lot.

Had lunch with dad today. Had a nice time going through an old box of crap and talking.

Not too much to report. A street gentleman very kindly offered to get me stoned lol. I declined.

And it made my tummy hurt just like every year.

In other news I went down a YouTube rabbit hole, watching videos about Islam, ex Muslims, Mecca, Petra, and so much more. I’m glad I’m no longer religious in any way, if I ever really was. It makes the ridiculousness of all organized religions easier to see. I’m curious about other cultures, but religions only in an academic way.

I feel equally skeptical about Christianity, Judaism, and the Norse gods. It’s all so unbelievably made-up sounding.

Anyway the keto thing is going okay. I’m still obviously eating garbage food, but I compromised with one garbage meal per day. Well see what happens after a few weeks of this. It’s an improvement, anyway.

Mom’s doing a lot better. Back to her old self almost, according to Lisa at the memory care home. I’d have to say her vaccinations worked.

Man, my shoulder is killing me. I should really start doing what my physical therapist told me to do.

Read two books today and watched a few movies. Not very good ones but there you are. My walk was cold but I had many layers so that helped. Lots of folks out downtown for a Sunday.

Had Joe and crew over for supermarket pizza. It was fun. Joe started teaching Charisma to armpit fart; I sure love that kid. She’s not very good but I could see that she was really trying lol.

Mom’s doing good. Sleeping a lot but that’s normal for being sick.

Not sure if I ever posted this one. It’s from a couple weeks ago. She always gets mint chocolate chip for some reason.
