Everest Day 1 - I really ought to try some challenges I haven't done before. But it can be annoying when I choose a challenge and just see 30 red crosses at the bottom of the page!

After standing over a sinkful of hot water, doing the dishes, I was so in the mood for a smoothie today! Banana, blueberry and mango, with chocolate protein powder. Yum. I do frequently find it difficult to hit my protein goal but I'm trying harder right now.

Got to bed a little later than planned last night because Creed didn't want to go out and do his business because there was a small bit of distant thunder, so I stepped outside and began watching the lightning display. It was wonderful, and shot around all of the sky I could see from my backyard - so around 180 degrees. Most of it seemed to be over the hill on my right, but then flashes to my left started lighting up my yard so much that there were sharp shadows. The thunder was very distant and often inaudible but the lightning came closer and then the thunder came but not crashingly. Eventually I peeled myself away and went to bed.

Everest - found I had to drop this one. My right wrist is bothering me when I put weight on it. Discovered that with the planks but I've been planking on my knuckles when I have to use hands but can't see myself mountain climbing on my knuckles.
Wrist pain - well, obvious from above, right?
Treadmill walk - 45 min, 4.5km
PD - 40 minutes

Another disturbed night. Most of my nights are disturbed, and my sleep is generally described as "restless" - though I get quite excited when, for a change, it says something like "continuous" and I get positively giddy with delight if I'm told "plenty of deep"! Fortunately, though, despite being disturbed, I didn't stay awake for long and I always count that as a plus. And I thought about the pills I have and wondered again if those side effects were really so bad...? Hell yeah!

A brief thunder storm this afternoon with violent rain. It was wonderful!

Apparently this season I didn't grow any actual tomatoes; I grew yellow petite pears, black cherries, and mini sugar plums! When not preserving, I prefer to grow small tomatoes because they are so easy to pig out on. :seeds:

And how can cats look so darned comfortable?!
