22.3.2024 Friday - the end of an era

When I arrive this morning, there are 2 documents from Jenny on the kitchen table. They're from Jenny, one is for me to fill in for our website and the other is more interesting - it's a questionnaire about my new website.

17.3.2024 Sunday - she coming undone

I'm itching to travel again, I ask Sam if she wants to visit her parents. They are older than mom, who is coming undone. Her memory fails her more and more these days; she fails to describe taste (ginger, coffee or tea) , recognise simple objects (apples, papaya) and her sequence of doing simple tasks like dressing herself is off.

There will come a time when I'll have to speak to my siblings about putting her in a home. I forget how long we have been babysitting her on our weekend afternoons.

16.3.2024 Saturday - run into town.

There is still plenty on my mind, mostly work, some about own health, and some about trivial things like the state of our garden. I have been feeling out of sorts lately. I have been falling asleep in the afternoons eventing I get my 7 hours of sleep at night. Maybe it's the daily hour of squash 5 times a week. Maybe it's my body telling me that variety is important. 

This morning, I run into town: the same route as before. It felt good, the cadence is still there but I must train the running endurance. I'm running in spells this morning, 600 to 800 metres stretches. 

I decide that Saturdays, Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays are running days. Again.
