Sent newest draft onto copyeditor, taking it easy today.

Daily Diary, Day 1067: I just sent off the newest draft of Dandy and the Dognappers to my copyeditor, so I am right on schedule--well actually, ahead of schedule.

I have a phone call scheduled soon, so I wanted to get this post out first. I was quite pleased by the response to my post about cozy mysteries that I put up yesterday. Motivates me to do more of these kinds of posts.

Yesterday, for some unexplained reason, my blood sugar went screwy--went very high after lunch, very low before dinner--which made me very shaky, and this was despite not having deviated at all in what I ate, or when yesterday. However, I decided to do 40 minute walk this morning instead of 30 while it was still relatively cool, and I made sure I drank extra water afterwards (along with my usual cups of tea). This means I will only do a 20 minute walk in late afternoon, and only do that if my blood sugar is normal after lunch.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I feel as if my body, particularly once I hit my 70s, is constantly changing what it needs, and I find myself constantly tinkering with things like food, timing of pills, etc as if running a long term experiment on myself.

The one thing I have done differently today is turn the A/C on before lunch, instead of waiting until I started to feel hot.

Here are another set of blooms that combine yellow with tiny bit of reddish orange. I swear, until I started walking and looking for flowers to photograph I never noticed this color combination before!
