When no one is watching (but maybe just reading)

-
I'm paraphrasing but the saying goes, "A truer measure of a man's character is how he acts when no one is watching." In my case 'when no one is watching' is to mean what do I do with my time during the day when the only person I'm beholden to is myself. What do I do when I'm totally self guided?

Secondly, in my circumstance I define 'acts' to mean not some moral code, but the physical tasks I choose to occupy my time. And possibly the inherent value they must have or not have based on my willingness to spend my time at them.

A majority of my days are "Rowdy" days and this is how I am choosing to spend this rowdy day:

-make bed
-put away clothes
-empty dishwasher
-take a shower
-eat breakfast of wheat toast, banana, fat free yogurt, water.
-50 jumping jacks, 20 push ups, 10 pull ups, 30 crunches
-shooting practice focusing on target transitions
-lunch date. Greek food.
-bike 10 miles around Lake Mirimar
-send off travel info to resort in Chile
-do three races in Moto Forza 4, I haven't played in a month!
-visit friends in Chula Vista/Eastlake
-dinner?

What do you think??????

    Not too bad. However, if the true measure of a man is what he does when no one is looking then its possible that I am a materialistic hermit. However, people look at me at the mall and the people who work in retail do talk to me, and I am polite to them... That must count for something yah?

    If I had a truly free day, not a day off to go to school, I would fill that day with cleaning, swimming, and yoga. Not so bad me thinks.

    i ended up feeling terribly sick to my stomach today. So I dropped the bike ride and the video games. I did add in getting my GoPro back from a riding friend.

    Danielle, cleaning and swimming and yoga is a great day! i'm about to do a 'all you can eat' deal with a new studio by my house for $20 for a week just to check them out.

The housekeeper said today I look like a gangster or mafioso. Do you agree? So I posted on FB a picture of my agility ladder and talked about how I use it for training for shooting. Most people kind of questioned it or dismissed it outright. Then I see a famous person posts a video of him today on FB using one and everyone thinks it's a great new idea. This actually makes me kinda angry. I don't like being dismissed or marginalized because my thoughts and ideas come from me, and not from someone "famous". Cause you know what, he isn't any better or smarter than I am. In any way. And just like MM93 grew up to take down VR46 I'm gonna do the same to all those who are at the top right now. Everyone is gonna know it and see it. Then there will be no doubting.

80% of individuals with MCI convert to AD within 3 to 7 years. Having both APOE4 allelles increases your risk 12 fold. Diagnosed with MCI this year. Amyloid PET scan in August. 3 to 7 years to Alzheimer's disease? That is frightening.
