This February we had a special day, 2-22-22, which certainly generated a lot of puns and pricing specials in my in-box. Before this month is totally over, I wanted to highlight some of the posts I have especially enjoyed recently; I think I will present them in pairs.

Fitness Log #175 And Friday Firsts
I have been keeping track of my exercise every Friday for over 3 years, and plan to continue doing so.
I started the Friday Firsts sections as a way of keeping track of some of my “firsts” as I dealt with the COVID-19 pandemic. Things seem to be settling down, but I will keep it for now–more as a way to be aware and thankful of what is happening in my life.

While on vacation with my husband, taking our usual daily walk, I asked him to think about something that has been on my mind for a while.
We are still young (-ish) and healthy, but we are getting reminders of our mortality regularly: his mother’s passing, his father’s decline, my mother’s surgery.
In the past few months, my parents have lost several friends and acquaintances that I had known for decades, and one of my local friends lost her mom.
Some of my patients are showing signs of decline as well. They aren’t quite family, but I still find it quite stressful.
I’m starting to feel a little pressure to make sure that I actually make it to some of the places that I always figured I would get to…someday.

My father in law is definitely getting older.
He was never particularly organized, but in the past few years, he has gotten much worse.
In particular, paying his bills has become more of an issue. He has the money (he made sure we knew), he just doesn’t take care of his obligations.

Every year, for almost 20 years, I have completed the same financial tasks: reviewing the spending for the year that has just ended, updating my (our) new worth, and reviewing my (our) spending goals for the coming year.
I reviewed the net worth and spending goals 2 weeks ago in my yearly financial check-up. Today I go through our yearly spending.
Inquiring minds may wonder: why in the world have been you going through your yearly spending for 2 decades? What you can you possibly get out of this exercise by this point?
