A Pondering Mind

I titled this post My Life, as I am trying my hand at penning an essay. It’s something I’ve been wanting to do for quite some time. I know it’s not an easy thing to do, well, anyways here it goes.

I have been keeping myself busy, meaning running errands, doing chores, as in doing the laundry, tidying up the bathroom, vacuuming, and all that other wonderful and or mundane stuff we do day to day. Also I have been doing a lot of reading, as I have been buying books, like there is no tomorrow. I am currently perusing five books, Swing Time by Zadie Smith, Naked Lunch by William S. Burroughs, which I am close to finishing. The other books are Oxford Book of Short Stories, Oxford Book of Essays and True Tales of American Life edited by one of my favorite writers Paul Auster. I basically start reading after I have done my morning glucose reading, taking my meds, then have a banana, then do whatever I have to do before I settle down with doing some stretching and then doing some spinning using a floor cycling machine. As I am doing this, I get some of my reading in, and wait for the first pot of coffee to finish brewing. So, with the reading I also get my exercise in and it helps keep my sugar in check, which goes with the walks that I take a couple or three sometimes four times a day. I find it helps with the keeping the weight in check, along with the blood pressure, which I take medication for. In summation, my health is really good, and do see the doctor twice a year. and get my eyes checked once a year. Its been all good since I was hospitalized back in May 2018.
