Well I will start by doing something that one of my former students does and say (sarcasm). He uses a considerable amount of sarcasm in his posts and sometimes feels the need to label it less others mistake his motives.

I just signed up for another research project which uses my data from the Fitbit to determine some of my vitals and especially my activity level. I have tried to train my dog to wear it on his tail, but he refuses. Since he is a black lab and wags that tail almost continuously, I would always get my steps in and probably qualify for a marathon. I do not get 10,000 steps in most days, but almost always get over 6,000 in. My pulmonologist is happy with this, so I am also.

I will have to do a better job imputting data on what I eat, how much I drink and my weight each day. I slack on that job on some days. By the time the project is finished in 4 months I should have developed a good habit of logging my data. The way I look at it, I am almost 77 years old and if anyone can benefit from my data then have at it.

I have been working with another former student on a webinar that I hope comes to fruition. As my little video clip from AstraZeneca indicates, I need to feel useful. I guess it is rather sad for your emotional well being to be tied with achievement, but I have always been achievement oriented. This caused me a bit of grief when I was first starting to deal with the fact that I had to slow down a little bit if I wanted to continue to live.

I was hoping to be able to make some recommendations about my second love which is crochet and sewing, but none of the clubs seem to want to communicate with me, so I cannot recommend them to you. I will “keep on keepin on” trying with trying to find some clubs that you might want to join.
