75 STRONG - Day 3

 I slept much better last night even though I stayed up an hour past my goal bedtime.

I did the physical therapy exercises twice today. I set an alarm for 3:30 PM and answered the call!

I drank all of the quart of water, plus tea. I made oatmeal for breakfast, with added nuts, sunflower seeds and blueberries. Maple syrup and a little cream made a delicious meal. Lunch was zucchini and onions and brown rice with 2 eggs scrambled in, plus some colby jack cheese and a roma tomato. For dinner I ate a piece of cod and a bowl of zucchini soup. Snacks included half an apple and a slice of cheese, and some of the Keto Clusters.  

I got an hour's worth of fresh air tending my plants and clipping some weeds and dead plants. I trimmed the kudzu vines that were reaching halfway across the gate. It was relatively cool today and I stayed in the shade as much as possible. I talked to Darla on the phone for half an hour while I worked - it's so convenient to be able to put it on speaker, lay the phone down, and have hands free to get stuff done while I'm yakking away.

I tried calling Rihna today but got a message that the phone wasn't available. I should have gone to her house, but I talked myself out of it. (Old habits of procrastination) I did a tiny bit of family history, tried to figure out how to get pictures off of texts and into Google photos. And now I'm having trouble getting them on to this blog! I posted one on yesterday's entry, but can't post one on today's.

Reading included 2 more chapters in Alma. One describing Amalickiah, who wanted power and control over everybody, and the next chapter describing Moroni, a man who was "firm in the faith of Christ, and he had sworn to defend his people, his rights, his country, and his religion."  The Isaiah chapter I read reiterated Israel's slacking, and the Lord's eventual gathering of them.   The library book I'm reading (rather, listening to) is The Adventures of Charlie, about the life of a black man who lived to be 109. Today's chapter was about Charlie and 2 friends driving across the US in a Model T right after they graduated high school. There were not even paved roads at the time! What a different time it was!

 I learned on Youtube that the temple endowment has been changed somewhat (shortened by 20 min). I'll be doing initiatories and sealings tomorrow. Will schedule an endowment for next time.
