My morning routine is:
Around 5 a.m. getting up, switching on the central heater for the house to keep it at 72F, checking by blood pressure, drinking a cup of coffee with fiber supplements, checking the iPhone for family messages and the Internet for world news.
Around 6 a.m., taking my hypertension medication (I wrecked my blood pressure with dehydration, hiking at 100F heat on a nearby mountain,) letting the dogs out to do their business, and continuing with my Internet readings.
Around 7 a.m., when it is outside around 60F, going hiking with my dogs for an hour (the "wilderness" starts 5 minutes walking distance from our house.) My wife leaves for work around 7:45 a.m.
Around 8 a.m. having breakfast (oats with a little bit of sugar, cocoa powder, electrolytes, and non-fat milk, as well as non-fat Greek yogurt.) Then taking half of my three dozen nutritional supplements on rotating basis, swallowing them with Kefir. Finally taking a nap for an hour.
Rest of the day: doing repairs (like gluing a chair back together, repairing 2x2 screen supports in the atrium, etc.) getting rid of tumbleweed along our fence, trying to reduce my piles and piles of paper stuff, sorting clothing to bring to Goodwill, and heaven knows what else. In the evening another one-hour walk with the pups.
PS, we are expecting our first rain of the season the next few days, and then nature will start greening, and the four mountains ranges surrounding us will have snow.
