Bored Biking Buddy

I'm back on the exercise bike, and every evening

I pick up a spectator.  Vladi can watch me for well

over an hour, making occasional sad mewing noises.

Vladi is our only boy that seems to get "bored" in the

times between eating, sleeping, and chasing his brothers.

Now he's watching the hissing cockroaches instead,

my endless peddling was a bit too dull.

Spark Update

My "sparks" of frequent bouts of exercise and painting

fell apart a bit over the past few weeks,

but I've made important modifications...

Sitting still on the exercise bike eating ice cream

cake with Vladi resting on my lap.

This is much better, I should have thought of it way sooner :).

Sparks

Before I had migraines, I really enjoyed doing exercise "sparks,"

multiple intervals throughout the day, starting as low as 10 minutes

each, and reaching about 30 minutes each, three times a day.

That led to being able to do fun videos (like the Firm, Tracie Long,

Mindy Mylrea) and triathlons.  Well the headaches are gone, and to keep

them away, I'm trying the "sparks" to elevate low blood pressure.

Additional sparks on some days are a mix of low-grade

stimulants: coffee, tea, ginger, and ginseng.

And plenty of meal sparks for energy (with occasional salt).

In the spirit of things, I'm adding journal sparks too.

A day just can't be too sparkly :).
