I took a very good creative writing class in the morning and early afternoon. I went grocery shopping. I discarded some spoiled foods from the fridge, once again vowing to avoid food spoilage by cooking foods shortly after I buy them . Seriously, it may sound funny but is a real problem for me. But I AM doing better than before with that.

I am learning to make minestrone the Blue Zones way (Blue Zones are areas in the world where a lot of people live to and beyond 100 years of age). So I am now soaking dry garbanzos, dry white beans and dry kidney beans and tomorrow evening I will cook the soup.

I have used ChatGPT to learn how to clean sunglasses and am going to apply my knowledge today as my polarized sunglasses are so dirty that I can no longer wear them while driving.

I plan to clean the surfaces, sink and stove tonight because my friend will come tomorrow morning and we will go to an exhibition tomorrow and I want the kitchen and dining area to look good when she comes.

I have categorized my credit card transactions (I do it almost every day). I have formulated the question I have regarding why my Honda dealership tells me that I will soon need new tires whereas there are only 34K on the car, and posted it in my Facebook group. I have also posted asking for some stuff that I need in the local Buy Nothing FB group. In particular, I need a sturdy spray bottle for water to clean baked on bird droppings from my car (water is needed in addition to a car detail spray which I have already bought). Again, I asked ChatGPT how to remove bird poop from the car. I get a kick from talking to ChatGPT .

But I have not done my PT exercises. I have not been frittering away my time in front of the computer screen but have been procrastinating with the exercises. I think part of it is that it will take a lot of time to do all the exercises and they are hard. So I have an idea: I will make a YouTube list of energetic upbeat music and blast that music to jumpstart the exercise routine.
