On Saturday we did a bunch of walking at the LIV golf tournament. Played some pickleball on Sunday. I walked 18 on Monday and Wednesday. On Tuesday I ended up getting one of my vision headaches just before gym time, I think because of stressing about our cat, who we had to put to sleep on Wednesday evening. 😢 It’s been a rough few days.
