Back to gym, better than last year. <br /><br />3: Have you learned anything new this year? All the time but nothing specific leaps to mind. <br /><br />4: Are you staying in touch with family and friends as you had hoped this year? yes <br /><br />5: How are you doing on blogging, writing, reading or commenting?

I don't think I planned on a number, but I've read nine this year.<br /><br />2: How are you doing on staying active this year? Walking every day; hiking when we can get into the hills; just being outdoors, away from people, and moving.<br /><br />3: Have you learned anything new this year? That some members of my family are COVID-denying loons. I always knew the loon part, but the COVID-denying was new.<br /><br />4: Are you staying in touch with family and friends as you had hoped this year? Friends, yes, my Dad, always, nieces and cousins, yes, My bother--the aforementioned COVID-DENYING loon--not so much. <br /><br />5: How are you doing on blogging, writing, reading or commenting? I do good with the blogging, I think. I was late making the reading and commenting rounds because I was horrifically under the weather with some residual shingles nerve pain so I stayed in a dark room and slept quite a lot.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15302478126147924237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16253353.post-44597095445537506112021-10-03T20:52:12.642-04:002021-10-03T20:52:12.642-04:001.

I cannot get interested in any subject long enough to open a book.<br /><br />2. Staying active? I am finally getting in the habit of meeting my bicycle goal each morning. I feel good about this accomplishment.<br /><br />3. Learned anything new? That widowhood sucks! Fortunately my friends in the blogosphere have been very helpful seeing me through this.<br /><br />4. Staying in touch with family and friends? Circumstances have forced me to reach out more often than in past years. It feels good.<br /><br />5. blogging? Somehow I have been able to keep up my schedule after a short hiatus. Also expanding my blog activity to include bringing back Warrior Queen's dance party.

On the upside, though, I've read 117 Steve-and-Bucky fanfics to date! Impressive, I know.<br /><br />2. Staying active? No comment. I'm pathetic. On a positive note, though, I'm back doing tai chi a couple of times per week.<br /><br />3. Learned anything new? Not that I can think of.<br /><br />4. Staying in touch with family and friends? About the same as always.<br /><br />5. Blogging, etc? Still going gangbusters!

Nothing like your impressive total.<br /><br />2: How are you doing on staying active this year? I need to work on this one. I think I did better last year.<br /><br />3: Have you learned anything new this year? Learning is constant. Life would be pretty dull without it.<br /><br />4: Are you staying in touch with family and friends as you had hoped this year? Yes, but there a few distant friends I need to reach out to.<br /><br />5: How are you doing on blogging, writing, reading or commenting? I haven't missed a day since I started blogging in 2008. It's a daily treat for me.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07645915869786296771noreply@blogger.com
