I'm feeling pretty good today, and still experiencing the after-effects of working out at the gym last night. I'm still taking it relatively easy so as not to aggravate my ribs, but what I do sure has me feeling great. There is a machine Jeannie always uses that I had no idea what it was supposed to do, so I asked her last night what part of the body is it good for, and she replied "The Butt!" Well, I decided I'd try it, and don't ask me why a 75 yr old woman is concerned with having a fine butt, but we'll see how it works. I tried the machine and it actually feels pretty good, and will be part of my routine from now on. I even spent 5 or 6 minutes in the sauna, an accomplishment since I usually don't stay more than a couple of minutes. It probably wasn't as hot as it often is. I also walked this morning on the treadmill - just about a mile and a quarter at 3.5 mph, plus a 4 min. cool down. Not all that much, but I think I feel better when I do it at least 5 days/wk.
I got my rent bill this morning which includes utilities, and nearly fell over. And to think I'm not even warm, but I guess the gas heat once in a while, plus the electric space heater, keeps me alive. There isn't much I can do unless it's to replace all windows and doors to get some air-tightness. I'm leaving the gas heat setting on 55 from now on!
Still waiting on the locks being replaced on the laundry room equipment, while the laundry is stacking up. I haven't done towels for quite a while, and although I still have plenty of clean towels, they take a lot of room in a laundry basket. When I go to the office to pay my rent I'm hoping to get a little more info on the "laundry room caper".
Someone gave Ara an airline voucher for a free trip that has to be used by this weekend, so she is flying here on Friday and going home Sunday. It's a quick trip but it's nice to see her often.
It's pretty gloomy looking outside today although the rain doesn't start until tomorrow.
I wish I had more to say, but the story of my life is pretty much uneventful right now and nothing much is happening.
- Better Days
Better days are here so the east can begin digging out from the blizzard, and we have about 5 sunny days to look forward to. I need to get out one of these nice days and start pulling weeds, although more rain will just bring more of them on. I...

The quest goes on, and I appreciate the comments I've received on this subject. Thanks "gracehoper" for the comments about the Bradshaw shelter. I watch their website every day, and receive info almost daily of new dogs to the shelter. ...
- 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...
- 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...
