Completed 6 miles walk at 8:00 AM and stretched at the basketball court until 8:20 AM. The morning walk started out dark and cool, low 60’s it was comfortable. Time for 6 miles was 1 hour 15 minutes and 43 seconds, averaged 12 minutes 7 seconds per mile or 2 minutes 2 seconds per lap. Pretty good walking pace for 6 miles. As usual I worked up a good sweat. the sunrise was spectacular amid the haze. Things really warmed up after the sunrise. Rabbits were out grazing on the field and scamper away as I walked past them, then they return to graze after I walked past them. The stretch at the basketball court was nice in the morning sunshine. Got a doze of healthy vitamin D, from nature. Went back to the unit to dry up and changed to Dry T-shirt. Cleaned the computer room, dusted and swept it. Rewarded myself with some donuts and warm water. Showered at 9:20 AM. Went to sewing room to repair some pants. Lunch was served at 10:10 AM. Luncheon menu: Fried fish sandwich, green beans and bread. I supplement the lunch with an apple. Talked to Doris at 10:20 AM: Doris is well and sounded cheerful. Kein, Diana, Mava and Doris had a hurried lunch yesterday because Kein was held up by Dianne Feinstein’s funeral. They compressed the cuttings but still have 3-4 bags left for next week. She liked my Art History 1 Class report. It refreshed her memory about art and she enjoyed discussing art with me, since I know a little about Art. I told her there are lots of things that goes into Art and to learn to paint would take a long time. I told her my schedule at the camp: morning walk, shower, luncheon, read and write or watch educational videos, dinner, ACE and EBRR classes, daily dairy , book and class reports, cleaned up and time for bed. I have been using my time wisely to learn new skills, language and educate myself, keeping healthy, staying busy and out of trouble. Time flies when I kept busy and work on my goal – to get home early. I told her to get some sleep, or nap in the afternoon so it will help her.
