Hi Gram,We had another fun-filled day today! I woke and did part of my morning routine, then we headed to breakfast and grabbed our laundry. I can really get used to the idea of dropping off my laundry and picking it up the next day, washed and folded. We dropped the laundry back at the…

Hi Gram,I didn’t sleep very well last night. I ate a cracker in the evening and started feeling like I was going to throw up shortly after that, and woke a few times throughout the night wondering if I needed to run and find a receptacle. Noting came of it, but it wasn’t a restful…

Hi Gram!I had a good rest last night. I think I’m getting past the jet lag and starting to adjust to the time difference. I got up and did my stretches, then the three of us headed to meet Stacey to go on a hike that she’d discovered a week or two ago. We started…

Hi Gram,You may be wondering why I haven’t written in a while. It’s been a busy few weeks since I last wrote, but not terribly exciting. I got back to Illinois and spent a few days unwinding, doing laundry, sleeping, reading, and of course doing my daily routine of exercises and such. I went to…

Hi Gram,I woke this morning just before my alarm, got cleaned up and did my stretches and brain exercises. Since it was early in the morning and I’m proud to have caught up on my blog the day before, I decided to update the blog with one more day so I remained caught up before…
