Another 10k/day week. Weekly summary says I passed 60km this week. Not quite 75k steps for the whole week.

Blood sugars continue to be well-controlled -- I went both over and under targets this week, but in each case was able to get back to the target range by the next measurement. I'm measuring when I get up in the morning and just before dinner, every day.

I do much better on days when I can get a couple of thousand steps in before noon. I have to be careful not to overdo it, though, because doing 6k steps before noon makes me want to nap all afternoon.

Therapy on Tuesday went all right: this fellow is very much focused on getting my meds and my eating and exercise habits in place. At my follow-up in a month, I will see if he can put me in touch with a grief counsellor to deal with some of the underlying issues, which I've basically been swallowing for the past six years.

Moving still feels good. I'm still in a position where many of my support crew have at least as much going on as I do, so we all do what we can, and try to hold on together. I wish the world would let up on us for a while, but that looks pretty unlikely.

Folks at work continue to be pretty wonderful. I'm cleared for travel this autumn, but again, I need to not overdo it. But it looks like there will be one trans-Atlantic round-trip this year. Whether it will be in September or October is still up in the air.

Working remotely from a very hot part of California early this week; we'll see if I can keep up the walking without my beloved fog dragons. Seriously, it's positively luxurious walking in the fog during the day. Perfect temperature, and I don't even mind sweating.

Wish me luck, and good numbers. I'm very fond of all of you.
