abdullahhaeem-
I am home safe. I did slide on the icy highway several times.
I am not too good at stopping for a break. But I know that even a walk around the car is helpful.
We have almost zero weather here. I did shovel some snow and ice and used my 4 wheeler to move snow. I am also burning wood now to help warm the house, and cut down on gas bill.
It was nice to see the grandkids again. But I realize that I am tired and do not enjoy sitting to lay board games.
What season of the year are you in? How big of family?

My A.S. is active these days and I have kind of given up on ever feeling better. I know I need self control in my eating.

Have a good day.

your friend,
Lon

Dear Lon

It's good to know that your journey went well and that you were productive. I have always wanted to sit beside a fire, sip coffee and read a book.

How were the grandkids? Are any of your children or grandchildren HLAB27 positive?

I recently sat for a board game which lasted for an hour. After the game, my knees gave in, for the first time. I could barely walk, let alone stand.

You're lucky that you're spending time with your family. I'm sorry to hear that you do not enjoy board games. What makes you happy?

It's cold here in Pakistan but the temperature hasn't yet dropped to zero as it used to about a decade ago. The city is becoming polluted and unbearable.

Do not lose hope. That's the worst thing you can do to yourself!

abdullahnaeem-How are you?
We have so much snow and it is often down to zero.
I did ice fish- my friend caught 8 nice crappie Such a nice cold day.
Tell me what you are up to?
I have been going to the rec. center and it is helping.

I do need to stretch move. It is so painful.

I'm in pain these days. It has gotten cold over here. The temperature dips below zero at times in the night. It has been raining constantly. I can't complain because pre-rain was very dry, dusty and unhealthily cold.

I'm currently in my office, working on a project. I teach at university level.

I hope you had fun fishing. Keep yourself warm! I hope you're doing your exercises daily.

abdullahnaeeeem-
I am having trouble getting active again.
But generally I am making an effort to do something every day.
Does scooping snow count?

It takes hours for me to get a work out because I move slower.

Stay strong!

In our bad days, even getting out of bed counts. You're making a big effort.

You stay strong, too! Thanks for the wishes!

How are you today.

I must make myself stop more when traveling....
What are you doing these days ...for recreation?

I'm standing in line for a lasting judgement.

abdullah- I m wondering how you are doing.
I am not sure what you mean by standing in line.

I admire men like you, with your natural skills and talents.

It is nearly Spring, but we had 4 inches of wet snow yesterday and today.

Do you go to an office or work from home?

Dear Lon

I am a bit blue these days. Pardon yesterday's line. There is just so much going on. This is coupled with the fact that I am constantly in manageable pain. I think it's there to remind me that I need to hurry up.

What I think I meant was I'm just letting things go over me, drown me out.

My son is three months old now. He is the only reason I still get out of bed. I teach mathematics at university level.
