Getting things done…

Water on the floor of the center courtyard in the riad in Marrakesh when it rained the previous night. For more, please see the post here.

With tasks we needed to complete that were on our minds, we wrapped up most of it this morning. All that’s left is for Tom to get 20 identical pages notarized at Richard’s office or our bank.

We checked the cost of having this done at the nearby UPS store, but it will cost upwards of $300. We’re hoping the bank will do it without cost, which it states it will do on its website. It will undoubtedly be worth the round-trip Uber ride for about $65.

Also, this morning, I sent all our tax statements and tax prep forms to our accountant here in Nevada. It will be a relief to have that out of the way.

As I always say, “You can run, but you can’t hide!” There’s always something that has to get done that requires lots of paperwork and, on occasion, outside help. This, we cannot avoid.

I continue to do the daily exercises from BetterMe which is going well. My muscles definitely are feeling it. As for the walking, I have been making a point of walking more in the house such as when I do laundry.

I take one item out of the washer at a time and walk it to the second bedroom where the drying rack is located. Doing so, I manage to get in an extra 1000 steps.

Soon. I will take the garbage to the trash area, a long walk down the corridor. Then I will walk the long route of the entire floor and back, another 1000 steps. A short time later, I will do several more corridor walks to ensure I get in another 5000 steps.

My goal is 7000 steps daily. Add in the yoga exercises and I am getting about 45 minutes of exercise each day which is plenty for now. It feels good to be able to do all of this without a fitness center. In the future I can do these exercises without concern as to the availability of local facilities.

Tonight, we will finish our recent big batch of homemade keto pizza. It’s been delicious! Tomorrow, we will start something new which I will make enough to last another three nights.

It may take longer to prepare the three night’s dinners all at once, but it’s so worth it when I only have to cook one night out of three and only make a fresh salad each day. By doing this twice a week and dining out once a week, we have the entire week covered.

That’s all for today, folks. Have a great Monday!

Be well.

Photo from ten years ago today, March 11, 2014:

This similar costume is found on many men in the Big Square. He is referred to as a “water boy” from the period when the nomads came across the desert needing water. These costumes indicated that he was the provider of water. Now, with less of a need for providing water, he poses for photos for a small sum while still carrying the cups and supplies for the water to add to his authenticity.
