Me and my teenage son take walks in the evening. I make sure to apply sunscreen in the morning, reapply in the evening, and apply mosquito repellent.

My pain has reduced, and I make sure to regularly stretch. I experienced muscle spasms a few times last week. I also drink a lot of water. I struggle with avoiding sweets, but I’m not giving up. Last summer, I took a trip, and my healthy eating habits took a nose dive. I am determined to turn things around.

Yesterday, I noticed signs of depression. A big telltale sign for me is procrastination: not making my bed, dishes piling up in the sink, dirty clothes on the floor instead of the hamper, etc. I called my daughter and chatted with her while I cleaned. It was nice to see an empty sink, and declutterred countertops. I picked up my dirty clothes and made my bed.
