YCGL - March 5, 2025 - A Day Off (and On) my Feet

 Last night, I slept on my back on a rolled up beach towel.  It felt good to stretch my back out that way.  I'm not sure it did any good in terms of posture and walking, but it was better than not having it.  

I slept late today.  I didn't have to get up for anything except breakfast, and I could sleep through that.  I got up about 10:00 or so.  Steve and the rest of the crew had been up much earlier, but no one said anything.  Mainly, I had to go to the bathroom.  (I hope this doesn't inspire another Google warning.  I don't know why that came up and I've asked them to take it down.)  I did my morning weight, which has been holding pretty steady, my glucose level (well within range), my blood pressure and took my pills.  It all indicates that I should live in Cozumel rather than Laramie.  

And I wasn't particularly hungry, so I went back to bed.   I read and dozed until about 1:30 when I decided I wasn't all that hungry yet.  I did take some Tylenol and a homeopathic muscle relaxer (Formula 303).  (Hmm  m, maybe another Google trigger.)  I started working on my blog and playing with some pictures.  I did that most of the afternoon.  

 The housekeeper came in this afternoon while I was working.  She was incredible.  She whipped those sheets off my bed and threw another set on, picked up the mattress to set the sheets.  She took about six different steps to change and fluff the pillow.  She wet mopped the entire room, including under my feet, in about 5 minutes, and then did the outside patio under Steve's feet.  Her name is Candelaria (Candy) and I'm going to nominate her for Employee of the Decade!  

This was the longest I could get her to stop so I could take her picture.  She is maybe in her late 40's and looks like she could whip a team of wild horses into submission. 

When it got to be dinner time, I walked with the group out to the lobby and had really trouble standing up.  I had Steve go back to the room and get some more Tylenol and 303.  We caught a taxi and when we got to the restaurant 20 minutes later, I felt better.  

It's 12:45am right now (March 6th), so if I go into bed soon, I'll have a good sleep for tomorrow's breakfast and dives.  I've got two cameras charged and practiced, so hopefully more pictures tomorrow.  

Good night and Good Luck....
