Did my weights and machines tonight (Monday).  Oh, man.  Took a lot out of me but got her done.  I walked into the room and sat on my chair.  Opened my eyes wide and stared at the weight bench for 20 seconds.  Whew.  Then, stared at the other weight set for 20 seconds.  The strain.  Then, another 20 seconds at the small set of weights.  I was feeling it, but did another set.  After a two minute break, turned and stared at the treadmill for 20 seconds.  Then, the rowing machine, and finally, the stationary bike.  I was whipped.  Towel was getting pretty wet.  20 second stares for another couple of days, then maybe increase to 30 seconds.  In a month or so, I will be able to touch everything.  This eye concentration can be heart wrenching.  I can feel the pain, feel the muscles feeling it.  Took a bath which helped the muscles some.  They were sore.  Gotta start so.  Hope to take my medicine the right way tonight, will see.  Got my main photo/video drive done.  The other drives aren't much.  Tomorrow.  Slept pretty well.  Took my pills and insulin better last night.  Gotta get into a better habit of doing it right.  Those sugar lows can be a BI.  Did my stretches and exercises this morning.  They aren't much but do get me moving some.  Eye muscles are strained some, but gotta start somewhere.  Tonight, 20 seconds of staring on the machines.  Heard you shouldn't do weights two days in a row.  Haha.  Yes, I have been told that I can be a horse's a** sometimes.  Haha.  Take a little nap, maybe.  Lifting the weights and doing the machines, with the morning stuff, seems to be helping already.  Definitely, not overdoing.  Gotta pace myself.  4 months until my next doctor's appointment: Oct. 22, Gary's birthday.  Week before an eye appointment.  My eye doctor is pretty popular.  Nothing earlier.  Maybe see what photos I can find.  Later.  Thought I had a photo and it turned out to be a video I did.  May have to edit it some.  Will see.  Why I love photos and videos.  I can see my memories and lessen the risk of losing them.  God has blessed me, in a sense, but understanding life doesn't make it any easier to accept sometimes.  Maybe do some computer stuff, too.  Later.   Instead of taking a nap, I worked on the video I found that I thought was a photo, haha.  After finishing it, I was walking near the desk and suddenly just below my left knee buckled for a lost of a better word.  The pain.  I could barely stand on it.  Short time later, it was thundering and the lights went out for a short time and then back on for a few times.  Finally, they stayed on but I had to keep the Mutt settled down, so I took a short nap.  It is drizzling now, but no thundering.  Suppose to rain until around 9:00, we will see.  Do have a nice evening.  Sleep well and dream the most pleasing dream.  Take care, be safe, God bless.  Sure the night will be the same old, same old.  YES, the Mutt is OK.  He drives me crazy but we all must carry our sins on our shoulders.  Why does mine have to be so heavy, haha.  Chance is a good mutt.
