Litopia

Well, on the up side, walking is great thinking / festering time.

I have a friend who writes while walking--she walks up to 8 hours a day and uses voice to text software, cranking out a book every couple of months. So more walking doesn't necessarily mean less writing.

I swear when you are over 55 the Mission Impossible theme should play on waking to get you ready to face the day.
To think when I was young I thought grownups had it all fixed and boring. You'll come up with some way to make this work for you. You're one of the fighters.

Sorry to hear that, Rachel. Walking's good and the whole Med thing you'll be doing anyway, and do most eating earlier in the day, less in the evening is less work for the heart. Mine is damaged from the rheumatoid thing. I use hawthorn supplements, and keep own brand soluble aspirin handy, v inexpensive, use in small doses. Ibuprofen can be nasty.

Sobering. Take care of yourself. Maybe use the walk like Jonny and listen to an audiobook? If Robinne's great idea doesn't pan out.

I used voice-to-text thing in google docs after hand surgery, transcribing my notebooks from a trip to Borneo. The locals called me an orang puteh, meaning 'white person'. Google docs wrote it as 'round potato' . I haven't managed to compose directly onto voice to text - my imagination seems to dry up, but I suppose I'll get used to it.
