Today turned out to be in the 60's with the sun shining most of the day. I did 2 loads of laundry and had it hanging on the line - about 3:30 pm I looked out and the sky was dark with clouds. I got the clothes off the line and folded, but it never did rain and now the sun is shining again.
I debated going to the gym this morning at 9 am, and ended up going. An instructor leads this class and we keep changing from one machine to another, then switching to cardio for a while, then working with free weights. I managed to do ok although I'm sure everyone knew I was a newbie. They all seem friendly and laid back, mostly in the retiree age range although a few were younger. After the class the instructor does about 10 minutes of work with abs that anyone can stay for, and of course I did.
I thought I'd be really wiped out this morning after yesterday's workouts, but I felt fine and am glad I went to the gym. Back at home this afternoon I could feel the aches in my abs, but I guess "no pain, no gain" is the thing. I'm surprised at how quickly I snap back!
The wind blew so hard yesterday evening and into the night. The trees across the road in the little park area lost a lot of leaves, and most of them blew into my yard and driveway plus those of my neighbors on either side. I swept up a huge pile of leaves from my driveway and into the street in front of my house. I still had tons of them to sweep up and collect, but I had no intention of bagging all the leaves from the Park's trees. The maintenance men were here later in the day and collected the leaves from the street. I am in the direct path of the prevailing winds, and everything is blown this way. It's disheartening to see the dust collect on my house, porch & railings, car, patio furniture, etc. I just try to turn a blind eye to it all.
Hey, I have better and more fun things to think about than the dust on the outside of my house! And I'm on a roll with better and more fun, so I gotta enjoy it while it lasts.
- I'll Try Again
I just finished hanging the 3rd load of wash on the lines (across the street), and all of the sudden it has become overcast. We're not supposed to get rain until tomorrow. The plane ride back from NY is what I'm blaming it on, but ever since...
- Stay Home For A Change
I decided that today I would stay home and get some work done that I've been putting off doing. Three loads of laundry was at the top of my list. I pulled a clean bath towel from the linen cupboard this morning and it was line-dried, stiff...
- Another Do-nothing Day
It was cold when I woke up this morning - 39 degrees - time to get out my Lasko heater. Once I am moving around I won't need the heater as we are looking at a high of 74 today. Other than a quick trip to the grocery and to the doctor, I haven't...
- Good To Be Back
We went to the gym this evening and it felt pretty good for the most part. I know I lost some weight around the time of my last surgery but have recovered about 5# of it back, and looking to gain another 10#. It will take me a while I think...
