I'm baaack!! In the wee hours of Dec16, I fell twice in the house. I tried to crawl to my bed hoping I could sleep through it and be OK the next day. Wrong! I couldn't get up off the floor. (I wa

Hey you guys! After years of struggle and feeling useless/hopeless and rejected by the agency I’d worked at for over a decade, I finally got a good job. And not just a job, but one in my field (m

Ok after reading about your -10 degrees I am bundling up and taking my pup out in our sunny and 33 degrees for a walk.  Thanks for being such an inspiration and getting me moving everyday!  

I do most of my walking inside my house and as much as my injured knee permits. It has warmed up to a balmy 5° at 11:45AM. Still too cold for me to go grocery shopping. Tomorrow is supposed to get to 20° that is doable, if my knee is OK.

Several seasons ago, Janelle made a comment to Kody that she couldn't wait for the day when she was looking up at her sons. Kody told her that she may never be able to look up at Gabriel. I was reminded of that conversation when I saw the photo of Janelle with all four of her sons and Savannah, which was taken on Christmas day. Her sons were towering over her. I would bet, that much to Kody's dismay, they are towering over him too.

4,929 steps yesterday. Not going out until Monday. Am feeling better today but don't want to push too hard. It is 8° outside right now may get to 30°. Tomorrow's forecast is 36° so almost bearable. :)

@Gramto6, You are an inspiration.

For the past 6 months I have ridden my bike for 5-6 miles a day.  I lost a few pounds in the beginning, but the biggest benefit is that it helps my mental health.

Prepandemic I used to go into an office building and interact with a lot of people everyday. Now I only get zoom calls for work and I don't get to socialize as I am high risk and I don't feel comfortable even though I was boostered in October.

I think the daily exercise matters a lot and I check here every day to see how many steps you have taken.

Thanks for the inspiration!

Ugh.  I hate this cold arctic chill.  It's 15° here 🙁

It's time to peddle my stationary bike.  I miss walking outside, but I can't handle this super cold weather.  

Good to hear you're feeling better.  Here's to warmer weather!

Me too! A couple years ago the larger store in town did a complete remodel. Every time I went things were in a different place. That's when I started shopping more regularly at the smaller store, now they are doing it too!!

I think there is a method to the madness.  When you know what you want, you go directly to those aisles.  When they switch things up, there would be more tendency to impulse buy items that you may not have seen otherwise.

I was out shoveling snow yesterday, just so we could get our truck out of the driveway.  A kind new neighbor had a gizmo on his lawn tractor that cleared snow, and he graciously offered to help me with that chore.  We're expecting to have more snow next week.  I felt like I got a good workout, though.

I'm not a winter person, that's for sure.  I can see why old people like me move south.

My next door neighbor did come over and plow my drive which was very nice. I don't have to go anywhere until Monday and we have no more snow in the forecast for the next 9 days so most of the snow will be gone. My dirt road will be a mud suck though. I was doing the front deck when I twisted my knee again.

Oh my goodness! I’d like to come and wrap you in bubble wrap. 😔

🤣 I wasn’t thinking clumsy, more like protection!

That is sweet of you! Somewhere in the depths of the things I have are some ace bandages, I just wish I could find them. When I go out to shop next week I will go to the pharmacy and buy one if I can't find the ones I have...somewhere...
