    I went to the gym for 1st time in 1 month or so!

    15 minutes on bicycle and about 20 on weight training w arms and abs. arms need strengthening big time but I'm going super-slow (minimum weight lifted or moved and if 10 reps hurts, I cut it back to6 or 5 or 3 as needed) since last time it hurt my shoulder for several days. slow and steady

    cooking veggies for 1st time In many many many days.

    not a relaxing period

    Memories

    A little snippet from my first year in Australia (2009), living in the cabin at the back of a property, off the grid ...

    "walked into the dark toilet block, and shone my flashlight around ... up over toilet ... nothing there to drop on me; on the floor ... nothing crawling around; a quick scan of the walls ... nothing new or moving there; and a flash over the toiletpap......................... !!!!!!!!! A huge huntsman (we think) spider had the roll in its grasp!!"


    My comments on the post:
    This is a huntsman spider: https://farm3.static.flickr.com/2579/3660912595_9b10217c64.jpg
    Only the one holding the toilet paper roll was fatter. They are, apparently harmless.
    Most of the TP here in Australia is scented (ick, but what can you do?) ... we suspect this spider was attracted by the scent.


    And my mother:
    Maybe you can tame one and put it to work digging up your garden!!


    I don't remember what the solution to that particular difficulty was ... I probably got a new roll and left that one to the huntsman.

    Those were the days.

    Changed and did a Personal Training with Jackie DVD since it was new and I wanted to see about it. Then I did a little of Kathy Smith’s Life Weights 2 Lose Weight DVD. The plan for tomorrow is to take the water class.

    Barbie - I have both, too. Wish there were more nutrition books, tho. The one thing I don’t like about Hoopla is that you can only get 3 books per month. At least in Overdrive when you finish a book, you can send it back to the library and get another. The only limit is how many books you can take out at any one time. Fortunately, I have it linked where I can get books from NC and from our county in FL. It’s interesting, I have access to ALL books in NC but only the ones in my county in FL. Wish it was the entire state of FL

    Rho – was the questionable lesion on your scalp under your hair? If so, how did they take the biopsy? I’ve always wondered that

    Wii said that I lost .7 of that pound I put on from Rummikub. I’m getting there.

    DebbieVA – happy birthday to your gs

    SuziQ – I checked Amazon and they do have quite a few books. Now to figure out how to download them onto my tablet….. I’m so sorry about your hubby. Guess in one way it’s good that Vince will go to the MD for every little thing. Unfortunately, not me. I have to be REALLY sick. The hubby of a friend of mine was out in his garden. He felt funny so he called the paramedics. They couldn’t find anything wrong with him but they wanted to take him to the ER. He was changing out of his work clothes when he had a heart attack. The paramedics couldn’t revive him. They were right there! Like you said, when it’s your time, it’s your time.

    Welcome everyone new!

    Natc – lately I’ve been finding that when I’m hungry like late at night, having an apple fills me up.

    Beth – I hope your account is safe, too

    Green Room today. On the way back I think I’m going to stop at Food Lion to get chicken thighs which are on sale to grill for later next week. Many times the meats in stores are frozen so if I get it today, I can put it in the refrig and thaw it before it needs to marinate. Then, if Vince is working with his trains again, I will probably work on the popcorn. The positive is that it keeps me from eating. I do take some carrots and tomatoes out with me.

    I am having very sad feelings

    (((HUGS))) <3

    Beth - crossing fingers there's not something foul with your bank account.

    I don't check ours every day. But should. Our bank has kindly set up an auto withdrawal from savings if we have an overdraft in checking. I told them we NEVER have an overdraft (if we do, there's something terribly wrong) and I don't want a scalawag to be able to drain savings too. When I told the teller we don't want that overdraft protection, she looked puzzled. I need to get in there to talk to management. In the meantime I've cut savings way down. They let us open CD's with a $250 minimum so that's where it gets plunked when there's extra.

    Josephine the Ballerina got her diagnosis - neuroblastoma of the spine (malignant). Her prognosis will depend on the grade of the tumor, which they don't know yet. As of now, they are planning to stay here for treatment rather than go someplace like St Judes, Hopkins, or Boston. :'(

    Such devastating news. Praying for Josephine and her family and friends. Its so hard.
