Today was a planned pass day.
I took part in a fund raising car rally for meals on wheels. Had a great time. Lots of fun and food but not much exercise.
It was for a good cause and a needed break for me. Back at it tomorrow

Love that camping with the family idea Ranger Rick... bet that will be a memory that you might choose to make a tradition again someday.
For my accountability:
BARELY YES, YES, YES... Want to know how my evening was made interesting and blessed? Read on...if not... that's ok...keep on moving on. ;D
As Paul Harvey used to say... "...the rest of the story..." goes like this. Cooking dinner...and the room seems a little warm...then hot...and I'm thinking...hmmm...is it just me? Oh no...am I running a fever? (possible exposure to "the virus" on Wednesday and Friday at a doc appt). Well - it was my AC capacitor. It literally exploded...so the AC was out...temp was quickly to over 85 in the house... So - moved my boarding dog clients, my dog and my sons out of the house to a neighbor's house. Called an AC guy I've used before - but he was a no. The other guys I looked at were happy to come out for a small emergency fee...not small... Called a young man that I know from homeschool education groups that we are in...who is now an AC repair technician...but lives kind of far away...to see if he had a capacitor that I could buy from him tonight. Well, this young man not only came way out of his normal driving range after his regular day of work...he showed up with a smile on his masked face, replaced the part, refused to let me pay him at all...I tried cash, check, venmo, zelle, gift cards...and he flat refused....very politely. He said it's my pleasure to help you... I humbly, but reluctantly accepted his gift. I bragged to his Mom and asked her to let me know what stores he likes so I could send him a gift card. She told me to accept the blessing...and not to try to compensate her son because he had seen her go through a tough time...and the owner of the company her son works for... gave her free AC repair. She stated that her son was wanting to bless someone else...the way she had been blessed. HOW NICE IS THAT? DON'T YOU LOVE SEEING A YOUNG MAN CARE FOR OTHERS... AND NOT DOING IT FOR ATTENTION...?9 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? yes, 30 minutes gardening (pulling weeds by the curb, and cutting and bagging brush), and many hours of disinfecting the public areas of my workplace with slow walking
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? yes
Thanks to everybody who offered such kind and helpful support on the What's On Your Mind forum -- I'll try to answer tomorrow. I appreciate all of you.4 -

Pass day 3. Oh well, it is birthday month!
Today was just too cold (and we don't have central heating in South Africa) so I stayed in bed with series and ate whatever I wanted.
Sunday is jiu jitsu again and then I'm off the whole week so I will be catching up of various admin and some articles I want to write plus some birthday shopping and activities. Birthday bonus is paid on Wednesday so I can get a few things before I go back to work on my birthday Monday 20 July (by choice, because work is fun and I get to play with all the animals).
Monday is my 1 year kidney donation check up and I got my test results back. Very happy with the numbers that are well within ideal ranges and the same as my 6 month results so it shows that my kidney function is stabilised.
@ajdveganajdvegan That looks amazing. Ocean kayaking is on my to do list and the photo motivated me to check out the option to go this week and I discovered they have a special this month so I get a discount. And Friday looks like amazing weather - perfect birthday present to myself! If it goes well, I am very tempted to buy myself one!9 -
