Well the cleaning got completed at least

Yesterday was a busy day but I did not complete the Blake Newsletter - my mind just didn't want to settle to it but will do it today. I did work on matches and I am complete now once again although I only found a couple for me that got missed by using the wrong sort. Just two siblings left and will work on them today. I am seeing that my own work is taking over from my dedication to my newsletters. I did wonder how long they would last and likely they will last for a while longer but the search and retrieval of information that bore interest to all of the members of the groups is weakening. Is it because I am heading for 80 or at this moment in time doing the phasing/re-phasing is top of my mind?  It is a heavy duty task collecting up these matches for five siblings and one that you could contemplate using AI but it needs that human touch looking at with the knowledge that is in my brain of the various families. It can not just be readily assigned and examined in a fruitful way. I do see the limitations in AI but I also see the assets and they are huge I do have to say that. Office work, regular, would be accomplished in a very routinized fashion that would strip out any human interaction that just complicates it sometimes.

My cardio yesterday was way over target; cleaning is hard work! The recommendation was to take it a bit easy today but I rather think I will do my yoga soon as I have not yet had my breakfast and then a bit of work and then rowing. I am up to 600 rowing motions back and forth so 1200 in total which amazes me but I just decided to see what I could do in 15 minutes although this takes me closer to 16 minutes but it is a nice round number and that works for me. It is just a simple rowing machine good for an old person. One quickly loses one's muscularity in just a couple of days you see a decline. Then later I will run my 30 minutes and walk for 10 to 15. In the afternoon I will do calisthenics. That pretty much completes my day but will likely put me over in cardio once again. Sometimes I am in suggested range. I think it goes by age and I have always been an active person especially I enjoyed my 1.2 km walk home from the bus - although I bought a more expensive bus pass that would drop me practically at my door I only did that so that I could take any bus at Hurdman on my way home and always walked to and from the highway. Coming over the bridge in the various seasons was delightful actually. I still enjoy the views that one gets just looking into the sky - it is marvelous. 

However, I must get some work done and especially it is breakfast time! Prayers for those still trapped in Myanmar and for the souls of those who died. The numbers have increased steadily over the days.
