First day of cleaning went very well but it is on these three days that I have to really work to get to my 12,000 steps per day (just over 13,000 yesterday) - I seldom go beyond that on a cleaning day. I primarily concentrate on my books when not working and getting them done. Whenever life becomes conflicting it does appear that I hide behind my books. The books will be published with a Creative Common License and free on my website. The Blake will be a shorter volume than the actual one that I will produce but I still feel strongly that I will not be adequately proving to my mind anything prior to 1521 and will not include that portion in the published online book but it will be in the book that I place in the Guild of one-name Studies Library where I am a member. I will get some of the material transcribed (it is all in Latin) but I do not have all of it and so I must leave it to a scholar in the future who finds the story of the Blake Family of Andover intriguing. Perhaps another descendant of that family will do that. I have a busy couple of months ahead of me of work although I do not plan to publish before January 2028. Once I complete Chromosome 1 then I will be changing how I am working and back into planned days for either Blake or Pincombe. It will be exciting and I will enjoy it.
I continued yesterday to contemplate the Cosmic World and Heaven. I do believe God is in the Heavens and the discussion was most interesting that I read yesterday. I do not believe I have ever heard it expressed in quite that way before. It was absolutely beautiful and thank you to him for sharing it with the world. I still remember the first time I saw a print of an atom; it was just a flat image on a paper but I loved the look of it. It so appealed to me and drew me into Chemistry at a young age (about twelve as I was headed off to High School). I read Chemistry for years before I studied it and still find it fascinating. The atom is the secret; it is the basis of all that we see around us including ourselves. DNA is built from atoms and in the creation of a life at every level DNA responds to the material it receives from each parent accepting the best presented and rejecting the inferior. That doesn't mean as we all know that everyone is born perfect. I myself had strabismus all my life until I was 78 years of age and then like a miracle I could see into the depths like I never did before. I could see without glasses and even more astounding I passed my driver's test without glasses. I notice that now nearly two years later I do not reach for my glasses first thing in the morning that did take a while. But it is all the mystery of the atom how our life flows and will we ever know when the atom first appeared in this universe. Genesis is a simple story of the beginning but I think that the atom is all part of that story. The secret of the Cosmos never to be revealed whilst one is living. But we can dream about it.
Another good day of morning exercise at 58 minutes, cardio load of 51 and 339 calories plus 2615 steps which is about right for that set of exercises. I injured my back in a fall in my mid-teen years and I got up and walked again so never really investigated it (I was one of seven children after all) but I still have to be careful with my back as it is easily put into difficulty without the proper exercise. I did finally in my 60s get some help with my back and some good exercise recommendations. That is one of the many reasons that I do do exercises every day to keep my back very strong.
Still none of my expected mail and mostly what I do receive is all brochures (and that could be virtual as well saving one's time looking for it online). Canada Post is particularly good at delivering bulk mail. Perhaps not a big deal getting my piece of awaited mail as I can just call the company; I already paid my premium (this is insurance for my burial so do like to keep it up to date). But I do like to have the paperwork. I dream of a virtual mail box and we are setup already with the filing system for it with the postal code (the two parts of that postal code were particularly ingenious). I actually did work for the Postal Service in one of the District Offices back when I was having a problem with miscarriage from being on my feet all my working day and needed to rest so I went to work at the Post Office and with my COBOL language did manage to secure an interesting position but I was taken ill after my daughter was born and had to leave my position. Having the postal code would make a very straightforward setup and we could move to it quickly. I have had so many different kinds of jobs in my life all emanating from the various trainings that I have had in school, in the workplace and just on my own usually online learning once that entered into our lives. I do not know if there would be initial savings as the added computer setup, the electricity, the use of AI (still in training stages and will be awhile before it would be ready without a lot of human input). But the advantage is so huge and I believe it would increase the income earned by the Post Office because it would be a do it all delivery service for government and mercantile as they choose providing everything particularly delivery of parcels which they are quite excellent at providing (parcels would grow of course because of items that the government delivers to us which were once letter mail - for actual hard copy delivered perhaps we would pay for that in the future); but for the consumer/tax payer/business being able to handle your mail anywhere in the world is a plus. We have a bit of that already as you can get the post office to scan your mail and send it to you. That is an interesting mid step but for privacy the virtual mailbox wins out absolutely.
At the District Office of the Post Office in the middle of the large room there on the second floor where I worked were maybe a dozen desks of men who had served in the Second World War and had been injured in various ways and they formed a work pool that we could get to do particular tasks and one in particular was very keen on computers and I got him to prepare the huge piles of computer pages by marking particular items for me. He became extremely good at it and fast. I admired those young men in the height of their youth (well I suppose in their 40s and 50s then) pushing themselves day after day to work and to learn. They could have just sat back and given up but they did not and I will forever remember them for their courage to keep going and continue doing what they could do to support themselves and their families.
Worked on Chromosome 1 yesterday and I am into the D's so not a great deal done yesterday. But some good sorting of the common area with lots of Relative lists attached to the files now. AI can do all that work for me eventually. But for the moment I must prepare my files removing any randomness so that the AI will do the best job that I can tell it to do with minimum junk coming out.
Tea all drank and solitaire puzzles to do. I have one neat trick that I use when my back is a problem and that is to kneel at the computer and type and play solitaire puzzles. It does seem to strengthen the back.
