Been really nice the last couple days.  The nights have a definite chill.  

Last night when I was taking my before-going-to-bed walk, I had to wear a heavy sweater.  And the wind was b l o w i n g !  We get some pretty hearty winds here.

The rising moon was HUGE.  And orange.  Thin clouds slightly obscured the face of the moon.  It was altogether beautiful.

The walk to shul and home again was difficult.  I don't have a whole lot of energy.  I think hospital stays have something to do with that.  Have an appointment with my doctor on Monday.  Will talk about medications, exercise, COPD and irregular heartbeats.  I think I can handle it all except the exercise bit.

Oh, yes, and diet.  The hospital doctor and the nurse both suggested that I review my eating habits and institute some changes.  Oy!  I guess ice cream and oatmeal cookies and Butterfinger candy bars are going to be strictly rationed. 

I have to admit that the hospital's low fat/low salt diet was quite tasty.  I could live with that.  Strange thing, though: my potassium level was low.  And I have a banana every day.  The high glucose can be explained by Butterfinger candy bars.

Oh, well.  I need to lose weight, anyway!
