and I'm feeling much better. That's the message.

At least my wife and I still have power.

It was the first time my wife and I went grocery shopping together since the pandemic started.  Yes, we actually went into the store!

When I developed diabetes, the literature I read advised diabetics not to skip meals. I didn't have to read that twice!

At his retirement party last month, one of my colleagues asked me if I was going anywhere during break. I told him "nowhere real." When he asked me to explain, I explained "I'm planning on playing a Star Wars video game (Star Wars: The Old Republic) and visiting the worlds of Star Wars."  That's exactly what I did. My break is now over and I'm returning to reality tomorrow.

...I'm observing the five-year anniversary of being discharged from the hospital to treat diabetes and other illnesses by buying and trying out a new lancing device.  The pharmacy no longer supports the old one, which is worn out anyway.

Time to get dressed, pack my lunch and tomorrow's dinner, and drive in to clean my office and print my syllabi in preparation for teaching.

Then I have to prepare my syllabi for next semester and clean my office. Busy, busy, busy.

I've completed my first week of in-person teaching this year. I'm doing better than I was at the end of the first week of in-person teaching last fall.  Then, a student asked me if I was O.K. I told her I was just out of shape after sitting on my butt at my desktop for a year and a half.
