When I lived in CA I did live in the forest, but when I moved to MT in 2004 I chose to live in the valley. I wanted it flat and not many trees other than those planted around homes. Thus I can look to the mountains and enjoy the trees, even drive up there if I wanted, but not live with the constant fire danger every season every year.  Plus driving on flat land is much easier in the snow than winding mountain roads!!

4,542 steps yesterday.

I didn't do much besides gathering the garbage yesterday. For some reason I was extremely tired and achey all day so mostly took it really easy.

Fire looks about the same as yesterday. They are holding the line but not much progress on putting it out.

A grocery, PO, and gas run added up the steps to what I did at home yesterday. Today I don't know how it will end up given the driving to two different dr appts and the waiting times involved.

5,988 steps yesterday.

The shopping in Target added a lot of steps, it has been a long time since I went in and just walked the aisles and did a little shopping. Usually it is run in to the grocery section and out again.That took up the time between dr appts.

Hand dr said all looks good and I don't need to see him unless something comes up. Just do my exercises until I have full movement.

At my Medicare Wellness apt they now have a NP that handles all those appointments. We talked a long time. She finally got me to put my Advanced Directive in my file and witnessed. I had been putting it off so that was a good thing. It was the longest Medicare Wellness visit I have ever had!

By the time I got home I was exhausted. No more 2 dr appts in one day!!

5,019 steps yesterday.

I was feeling tired from everything the day before so was just taking it easy. Yeah, that happens!

I received my new air fryer while I was out Tuesday at my appointments. I was too tired Tuesday to set it up so I did it yesterday. I have a big family sized Ninja air fryer that my DD bought me (hers is a family of 5), but it is too big for just me and I hardly use it. I got a simple 2qt Instant Vortex and it is perfect for me. It is multi task in that it air fries, bakes, roasts and reheats. So I spent most of the morning clearing off my kitchen counter, reorganizing things and of course testing my new toy!! So basically a lot of puttering around in the kitchen. That was my big activity for the day. I did consciously work on getting some more steps in during the afternoon and evening but I really didn't want to push through the weariness too much.

The weather has changed the last few days, we had rain and wind (snow in the high elevations in the north) Tuesday, temps in 60's then wind yesterday, and this morning it was 37° when I went out to feed the cats. The damp and cold have helped some with the fire but the wind not so much. It is still 0% contained but they have it controlled around the homes so are allowing residents in between 8am and 11am this morning. The only thing I can be glad about this fire is the wind is at least blowing the smoke away from my area...

3,120 steps yesterday.

Very tired feeling all day and my cat took advantage of an available lap for long naps! Guess we both were needing a day of rest! I spent some of that down time searching for some You Tube senior exercise programs to try out. I used to use some cds with exercises but not sure I have anything that will play them now. Have to dig around in my storage cubby...

Hopefully I'll get back on track with the walking at least today.

The fire is still 0% contained and evacuations still under order. Air quality today is Unhealthy...maybe that is what is getting me down, breathing all that smoky air?

A quick grocery run and trip to PO to pick up my mail, the rest of the day was odd chores around the house and doing some cleaning in the cat's house in the garage.

Today I don't have anything planned, but chores have a way of popping up when least expected! One thing will be searching for recipes for my air fryer. I sure am glad I finally broke down and got this smaller one!

So smoky outside, so I stayed in as much as possible. Today looks to be about the same. All I want to do outside is hose off my car which is covered with grass trimmings. The discharge chute on my neighbors mower is broken so it sprays the clippings all over.

Taking the garbage up to the road and going out to tend to the cats is all the outside activities for me today. The smoke is really getting to me, even keeping the house all closed up it manages to seep in the few times I open a door to go out. At this point I would hope for several days of a heavy rain to put the fires out!!

Too smoky to do much outside so most of my steps were in the house. Looks like may be the same today. The thunderstorms didn't appear here yesterday, but they are in the forecast again for today. Starting tomorrow the weather is supposed to be warmer and dryer, not sure if that is good or bad at this point....

Wandering around in the Goodwill added quite a few steps. The rest were mostly in the house and doing some tidying in the cat's house. Still too smoky, Unhealthy Air warning today too, to do much outside.
