I actually had a better than expected day yesterday. I replaced my training videos and all but one has been reviewed and approved for posting.
My van was finally finished at the repair shop and I'm so glad to have my basic, comfortable friend back. My next two month's pay has been spent on those repairs 
, but it's still better than buying a new vehicle. And, I had time to get some walking in too.
Added 2.25 miles for a January total of 29.5 miles. Hey, I'm ahead of the curve for the first time in many months.
@kar328 Yeah, Ohio weather is just as nutty. Snow last week, then 70s 2 days ago, now freezing rain tonight.0 -

adding 3.5 miles. Got a catcall when I was out walking, from some service van. Since I did heavy squats yesterday, I'm taking that as a compliment that my butt looks good. (insert perky butt emoji here)

Spent the afternoon and evening at the ER with my Dad yesterday. He thought he had another kidney stone but it turned out to be a fractured rib from a fall about two weeks ago. Not sure why it started bothering him more all of a sudden, but it did. All in all that was far less concerning and easier to treat than any of the other possible things it could've been. And this was all after getting my fiance' situated and home after two cars crashed into her on the way home from a doctor appointment yesterday morning. She doesn't think she's hurt, but she is sore and stiff today. Going to the doctor at noon. Almost certainly her car is totaled though. I dare not ask the question out loud "What more can go wrong?" so I won't, but I'm sure thinking it.
Hoping you have a better days.. to follow!!!0 -

Once again, thank you all for listening and caring. And @Karen, I think you're onto something with the bubble wrap!!!!
I'm not a superstitious person at all, but I was seriously considering not getting out of bed today (Friday the 13th). I managed to get through the day yesterday without any adverse events so I'm hoping to extend that streak to 2 full days. @Dean, I remember that song from Hee Haw and that is pretty much how I feel. lol As with good luck, a bad luck streak can't continue forever.....riiiiiight???? Let's hope not anyway. I'm hanging in there, but I'm about ready for some boring days ahead...please. And I'm trying to follow your advice too, @CLEPANT. I know you're going through a LOT as well....many health sorts of issues with your father. My thoughts and prayers are with you as well.
Oh and on the bright side, my fiancee' is doing a little better today now that the muscle relaxers and ibuprofen are at work.....and she had a meeting and was on-the-spot offered a part-time contracting position that will work with her current job and we are thrilled about it. She's going to rock it and show them how truly amazing she is.

I'm glad your dad's injury wasn't more serious, my father's last fall led to a lacerated kidney that bled for over a week before my mom found out and took him to the hospital. And it's good to hear your fiancé wasn't hurt more seriously. Cars are replaceable, people, not so much. Just don't forget to take care of yourself while everything is so chaotic. I wouldn't want to see you sick on top of the rest. Hugs and prayers for you and your fiancé and your dad.
Agreed Dave. Please take a break and take care of your Dad, and yourself too. We are here for you, hope you know that.0 -
My Friday the 13th went just dandy, thank goodness I was not on a bike. I went to check my mail, all of the snow, slush and wet crap has all frozen now. So I put on my 'snow boots' went out and promptly slipped and fell on my backside in the mucky slush. I paid over 100 bucks for snow specific boots, and what did I get, a sore butt. After that little escapade I have just stayed in the house.

@anaconda469: Ouch! You keep getting beat up. I think you need to bubble wrap yourself.
@Dave: Hooray for your fiancée! So glad she is feeling better. Drugs are amazing...lol. Thanks for prayers....we all can use them.
@My fellow teacher...you probably will get this. All I can say is "full moon". Thank goodness it is Friday.

@Dave - I know this series of crappy things is a lot to deal with but never forget there's a lot more on the bright side than we tend to realize. First, you have a fiance (how did I miss you guys had taken this step!!!). Second, you have time to cherish your dad and say good bye without leaving anything unsaid. Third, you have all of us (ok, maybe that's not all good, sometimes we're a pain). And you have the progress you've made taking care of your health. So hang in there, knowing that you have many blessings and things will look up again.
@Anaconda - before I moved away from the cold for good, I was such a klutz on ice that I had to wear those ice gripper things on my shoes. It was the only thing that let me go outside some days. Hope you aren't too sore.
@ Sussexbythesea - LOL you woke up with a 70 year old! That cracked me up. '
My husband has come down with the flu so I've been in charge of everything around the house, including caring for him. Let's just say he's very needy. Several days of dog walking duty put me at 43/75.1 -

Jan. 14: Beat the sleet and freezing rain and got my run in. New inserts have given me some hope that I can run again. Greatly reduced pain even though I am going slower than a turtle. But it is a start.

@Janet: Hope you hubby feels better soon. Ramp up you own precautions.0 -

Well I am looking at mt climbing boots and crampons. It wasn't so much my butt hurt when I fell on it, the frozen slush got my butt wet and cold. So crampons are sounding like a great idea.

Still not feeling the best but the sun was shining, the wind was NOT blowing and even though it was only 14 degrees I took my 2 fur babies for a 2.5 mile walk. My dogs were so happy to go for a walk.. I then rode 7.5 on the ex bike.

The freezing rain went north of us so yesterday wasn't dangerous, just cold and wet. Be careful if you weren't so lucky. I'm still moving right along here, but it's time for me to figure out how to keep moving as my work schedule increases.
Added 3.75 miles for a January total of 33.25 miles.
