Not too much, but I am slightly sunburned; To be expected after being a nocturnal creature for 3 years.<\/p>\n<p>It felt good. My body was making it&rsquo;s own Vitamin D and my skin warned me when it got to be time to go back into the shade. &nbsp;Perhaps not as quickly as it should have but I think my body was enjoying the solar bombardment. I&rsquo;ll have to be careful the next few days just to make sure I don&#8217;t overdo it accidentally.<\/p>\n<p>I swam the length of the pool several times and realized how out of shape I am just because the endurance in the water wasn&rsquo;t what it should have been.<\/p>\n<p>Water and I are, and always have been friends. I&rsquo;m no Aquaman, but I&rsquo;m comfortable in the water and also found that due to the amount of fat I&rsquo;m carrying around that I&rsquo;m way more buoyant than I should be. I had to spend more effort staying under water than I used to.<\/p>\n<p>Ahhh, the &ldquo;fun&rdquo; of aging! Damn it.<\/p>\n<p>Fall is upon us, 9\/23\/2019 is the official day, Plants here in the mountains are already showing signs of the coming seasonal change.<\/p>\n<p>I&rsquo;m still trying &nbsp;to figure out where \/ what I want to do for my &ldquo;Walkabout&rdquo; to clear my head. It looks like I&rsquo;m finally finished with the former company. Just a few more things to do around the house, and I can be gone for a few days.<\/p>\n<p>I don&rsquo;t want to spend a fortune but I do need to get away. New vistas, new people, new adventures, that sort of thing. Nothing too strenuous, but something fun just for me.<\/p>\n<p>That Adventure should start on the 11th of this month. In the mean time, there are chores here and one of those chores is the routine of looking for a job and all the crap that entails.<\/p>\n<p>Hope that your short week is calm and mellow which is how I&rsquo;m feeling right now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wasn&rsquo;t a bad holiday.
