    @littleblackskirt when my mum had difficulty in standing for long, we bought her a walk stool. They are compact, easy to carry, comfortable and stable - often used by photographers. The drawback is that they are not cheap! http://www.walkstool.com/. We got mums from this shop - they have them in a variety of heights. https://www.speedgraphic.co.uk/trolleys_mats_seats/walkstool_comfort_55/16708_p.html

    I hope your back feels better today. 🐝

    We have a weather alert today for light snow/rain with slushy accumulation possible. It was starting just as I parked my car at work. Tis the season. Glad I got out early to walk dog. We met two friendly joggers (never saw them before) also wearing headlamps & one had on LED vest. Dog was a little freaked out. Now I know what I look like with my same gear on LOL. The morning before, right at sunrise, we saw two deer running from a brushy area to nearby woods. I always love seeing wildlife on our walks.

    So I'm finally in my new house! Moved in this afternoon.
    It's a smaller house but big enough for us all. Not a lot of storage and we need new cupboards and stuff so not sure where I'm putting everything yet lol! Our lounge is full of bin bags, maybe like 30 haha.
    All our large items are coming tomorrow, we've treated ourselves to a new mattress (and not a cheap one this time) but God knows when that arrives!

    I can't believe it's been 8 and a half weeks since I had to leave my old house. How I survived I don't know but it's gonna require a lot of effort to get back to normal.

    Thursday I have the school meeting, which I'm looking forward too and so are the kids! I can't believe how long they've been out of school, I hope they've not missed too much or can catch up.

    As of Monday I want to start posting goals again.
    My first goal is a "body health" month. Which means sorting my mental health and physical health. My anxiety has made me pick at my skin so I need to stop that and get it all nice again, get rid of my spots, shave my damn legs and pluck my eyebrows. And take my medication EVERY DAY.
    So basically getting myself back on track ready for the new year.

    So, if I forget by Monday, someone PLEASE remind me I'm meant to be setting goals 😂

    1) Walked dog 4.07 mi before work :smiley: happy dog & happy me
    2) Move hourly / stairs breaks (3 floors) :D 13/14 (forgot over lunch break) & 16.8k
    3) Prelog / net cals zero / 14c water :| green 32 & 15c then woke hungry & snacked on crackers
    4) Work in office: AJNH / clear more email backlog = 1.5/2

    JFT W 11/25 ~ rest day
    1) Move hourly / stairs breaks (3 floors)
    2) Prelog / leftovers for supper / net cals zero / 14c water
    3) Work in office: AJNH / clear more email backlog

    Snow that fell yesterday was melted by rain later & above freezing temps. Very damp out & decided today will be my rest day. Good to be rested for the Turkey Trot tomorrow: only 2 miles timed & I know I'll go further than that with dog. The next day the 50 Mile Frenzy starts, and I want to build mileage early, since who knows when snow will finally make treadmill non-optional.

    Office is deserted today, more than usual in this pandemic & work from home days. Lots of folks took day off. I'll enjoy the quiet, water my plants, clear more emails, and maybe get some work done. LOL
