Today, I went for a hike. It was very similar to taking an xc ski, up KAGO hill, but there was no getting tangled up in the brush. Two to four inches of snow lay on the ground, underneath a solid base of one to five inches. Snowshoe tracks paralleled my course, on the way down. I walked fine without them.
I went so that I could have a break from the girls, who have been...challenging this week. I frequent KAGO hill, on foot, running and hiking, on mtn. bike and on xc ski, when conditions allow (not so much this year, which has been a disappointment). Today, it was hiking. Also, surreptitiously, I looked for birds, as it is bird count weekend. Most notably, I saw a cassin's finch. That took the longest to identify, partially, or mostly, because, it is not so big. I had to walk most of the way around the bush that it sat upon before I could reasonably identify it. Also, Canada geese, house finches (30+) common ravens, golden-crowned sparrows, Oregon juncos, and possibly an immature bald eagle, though it was too far away for me to be sure.
I'm not sure what I want to write about. I suppose it is about my health as that has been on my mind for the last 10+ months. I stopped taking the statin that I was prescribed. I do not like how it made me feel, psychologically and physically. I am still taking niacin and O3 pills to try to control the darn cholesterol. BP is as BP does. I feel guilty for drinking too much especially since I saw my doctor at the pizza parlor tonight. I am working on it! At the same time, I am tired of feeling guilty for what I put into my mouth. I am trying to exercise and eat better, but man! I have been in this habit for a long time. Realistically, don't you think, it will take awhile to change.
