Apr. 10th, 2023 08:20 pmAccomplished more today than expected.
1. Took a long walk to Prospect Park Lake...about 3 miles round trip.
Pictures are as follows...
( lake )
( flowering trees )
( Coliseum and Trees )
( pictures on the way home from the park )
The park was surprisingly clean (or the cleanest I've seen it - there's still little bits of litter here and there, which is to be expected). They've really worked to clean it up. Clearing out the homeless encampments, and people cooking and barbecuing in the wrong places. They also seem to have cleaned up the lake. I was impressed.
But, they have sign out front - stating no biking anywhere but on the established bike paths, no dogs off leashes except in established areas, no scooters, ATVS, or motorized bikes, and no barbecuing except in established areas.
So many people violate these rules. Today, I saw various dog walkers violate them here and there. Although not really any bicyclists (I also wasn't on some of the paths they are know to violate it on.) But they really are renewing and reforesting the park. The Coliseum was the cleanest that I'd seen.
2. Also completed my three watercolors. I'm still struggling a little with proportion and perspective in places. But since they are mainly from memory, and meant to be artistic impressions verging on caricature of what I've seen it may not matter? I'm not sure about including them here though.
3. Managed to clear out one shelf of my closet. It took two hours. But hey, one shelf. It was the shelf that contained a lot of masks and hand sanitizers, including shampoos, cleaning agents, and various other supplies. But I made a dent at least.
4. Working on the diabetic/gluten-free/low chlosterol diet. Have determined that combo Paeolo/Mediterrean is the one I'm stuck with.

Anyhow have made progress and kept blood sugars down today. Also burned 300 calories on walk - so there's that.
5. Slept in - and actually got eight hours of sleep. Horrible dreams though. It's supposed to be really warm the next few days, only to become cold and rainy on the weekend. UGh. Stupid weather. It's supposed to be cold and rainy during the week.
