Found a large vase while cleaning through kitchen cabinets. Decided it needed flowers. 💐

First week of January. Top numbers are steps; goal is 5,500. Low day was house-cleaning, so I’m fine with that. #walking #fitnessover50 #31days

Post-Christmas adoption. 🐶

Looks like proto-Joi is here. #bladerunner2049 View quoted note →

Not sure how I got all that elevation walking across my living room, but I’ll take the distance. Last @RUNSTR entry for the day to get my total of 2.6 miles/4.2 km. #31days #walking #fitnessover50

Duck butt photo bomb …. and the turtle photo I wanted. 🐢 #outside #proofofwalk #photostr

My last 2 Conqueror medals for 2025 just showed up. Nice, heavy chunks of decorated metal. 🤩 Eye glasses included for scale. The 2025 celebrates 450 miles for the year. I initially had a 500 mile goal, but dropped it down due to issues with my right foot. Feeling good about 2026, so set a goal of 700 miles for the year (about 1.9 miles/day). The Tokyo medal was the first trip I’d done solely on the Conqueror app, as they used to allow access to the trip postcards and maps on their website. Was very disappointed- the map is difficult to use and since it’s on my phone, the screen grabs of the scenery are so small compared to what I could get on my desktop. The map was so annoying I gave up after the first three days. 😣 But I still love the medals, so am going for the Strange New Worlds Star Trek medal first and adding to my 2026 total every day. Their New Year sale goes until January 13th if you’re interested:

Cleaning house: didn’t get the distance, but the ache in my right foot tells me I got the workout. #31days

30 pages in and this is already everything I love about smart, honest characters in a genre setting. 🤩 If you haven’t read The Old Man’s War by John Scalzi and you like sci-fi, I highly recommend it. 🚀 #bookstr #scifi #sciencefiction #reading

Did not accidentally close the @RUNSTR app today while getting my 2.6 miles worth of steps and was rewarded with sats. 🎉 #31days #walkstr #fitnessover50

Frozen pizza without seed oils! Amazing crust, good amount of cheese. This is the third version of a seed-oil frozen pizza I’ve tried and it’s definitely the best. 🥇 There was another Newman’s Own right beside this one that did have seed oils, so I almost didn’t pull this one out to check the ingredients. #dinner #pizza #seedoil

I don’t wear a watch any more because it irritates my wrists (and I’d get paint all over it), but I do have a daily carry knife I can open one-handed (Spiderco Delica) and a pen (Fisher Space Pen). #watchknifepen #edc

Using my January mixed media calendar art, created for @npub1f5kc...vk2u art challenge, as my new Lock Screen. Using a Copic marker sketch I did of a vase years ago as my Wallpaper. Reminders to take it easy and that I can just sit down and sketch something with any kind of supplies and it has a chance of looking good. #artstr #mixedmedia #rustypuppyart

New year, new calendar! 🗓️ Many thanks to @Kontext for organizing and producing this with #artstr from across the #nostr - pick up a digital or print version via @SATOSH.EE March has a cool mixed media art piece 😎🏰 #2026 #art #photography #plebs #calendar #grownostr #v4v

New daily steps goal for this month is 5,500 steps = 2.2 miles = 3.6 km. Overachieved a bit today because walking while talking to my mom. 💙 And accidentally closed the @RUNSTR app, twice, so it only recorded 0.4 km. 🤦 This lovely green candle is a screenshot from the Pedometer++ app which I’ve been using since 2019 to record over 13 million steps. Do a little each day; it adds up. #walking #fitnessover50 #31days

Truth.

Trying something new, along the lines of the Pottery Paradox from the book, Art & Fear. A 500 sheet ream of copy paper will be my sketchpad for the year. Not intentionally trying to use all of them. It’s just practice, and somehow easier to tackle than a bound sketchbook. #artstr #artprocess #drawing #sketching #practice #bookstr

2026 Bullish on daily efforts for better health (🚶& 🚲) and making more art (✍️ & 🎨). View quoted note →

Time for the sparkling apple juice! Happy New Year!!!! 🥳🥂
