So apparently the secret to blasting past my daily 5,500 step goal is to walk while being in the phone. Past 3 days include calls to my mom, sister, and boyfriend. Also, since I remembered to use the @RUNSTR app there was an additional reward. Yakety Yak, get sats back! 🧡 #31days #runstr #walking #fitnessover50 #stackingsats #familytime

Don’t believe every AI search result you read. I’d seen other examples of G’s AI promoting fiction as fact, but this is my first, personal encounter. I asked if Rian Johnson, the director of The Wake Up Dead Man movie, was in the movie, as I thought he may have had a cameo as one of the non-speaking characters in the diner. This is what G’s AI told me. I’ve highlighted the relevant error. Father Jud, one of the leads in the movie, is played by Josh O’Connor … a fact that a ton of other websites have correct, yet somehow this truth eluded G’s AI Overview. #aislop

How’s your Monday going? I’m a 3 right now. #memestr #duck #birdstr #monday

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
