After eight weeks, I managed to get myself back over the 30,000-step plateau.  The week got off to a good start, from a step perspective, as Aunt Anna’s wake on Sunday pushed me up over 5300 steps.  Monday was almost as good, as the funeral left me 12 steps shy of 5300.  Going back to work on Tuesday saw a decline that put me 7 steps away from 4200.  Wednesday was more of the same, coming 36 steps short of 4200.  Thursday saw a bigger decline, falling to 3500 steps.  An increase on Friday pushed me back up again, coming 6 steps away from 4600.  Saturday, the last day of my 40s, ended needing 18 steps to get to 4400.

Total steps: 31.464

Another disappointing week, but at least I continued to trend in the right direction.  The week got off to a slow start on Sunday, falling 7 steps shy of 2500.  Monday saw a slight improvement, going up to 3100 steps.  Tuesday was the best day of the week, thanks to an after-work trip to visit my dying aunt in the hospital which put me just 21 steps away from 5500.  Wednesday dropped back down again, putting me 30 steps short of 4000.  Another big drop on Thursday left me with 3100 steps.  Friday saw a big increase, jumping up to 4100 steps.  Another trip to the hospital on Saturday to see Aunt Anna left me 32 steps away from 4200.
