    Just figured average steps for February. 6800 per day. Not as bad as I thought. :D

    :)Kylia, I love your washer and dryer. I am happy that ours continue to work well but I am envious at the sight of your beautiful new ones.

    :) We have no intention of doing anything different after we get our second jab. We will continue to get curbside delivery of groceries and limit our going anywhere else. I got a jury summons for May and accepted their offer to postpone it for six months due to Covid related concerns. Now my summons is for November and that is likely to be the first time I go indoors anywhere with more than five people in the building.

    :) I just figured out why I'm not setting goals or resolutions for the month. So many things have become habits and I just continue them (drinking water, walking 10,000 steps, logging food and exercise, etc). It's the same reason that none of us lists brush teeth, bathe, wear clean clothes, etc. They are habits that we do without thinking.

    :) Jake wants to send birthday cards to some friends so he plans to be at Walgreens the minute they open and buy cards and his favorite candy. The store is practically empty at that time.

    Campground opening went well. No problems. About half full so not bad at all.

    More walking now which I really need! Lost 4 pounds in February. Here’s hoping another 4 goes!

    My word for the year is Perseverance . This refers to my finances and health changes.

    Hoping to get interview this week so I can start. The teacher I know tells me they are really short on subs/teachers. HR in every company/organization I’ve had business with are slow so no news there.

    Julie-actually I just used some lavender last night. Woke up with no sore throat! Also, my one cat had been sneezing horrible all last week. I think the extra humidity in the house has helped her. Of course, once summer hits here I will be running ac to cut back on some of the lovely outdoor humidity!
    Pip-enjoy watching transformation of your new home.
    Barbara-don’t know what it is with the clothes. Got distracted with a phone call with a friend last night and they are still here looking at me today!
    Tracey-it is amazing how young children are figuring out technology. She is cute!
    Kylia-nice washer and drier. I am not surprised people enter your house by other than the front door!
    Okie-glad you do have some options for yourself. Texas got hit amazingly hard. I feel bad for all, but especially those with no options or means.

    First day of March off to a good start. A bit cold and windy here but the sun is shining. Work is moving along, one item at a time. Looking forward to gym this afternoon.

    Waiting to hear from doctor regarding tests last week. Part of me hates the fact that they release results and you are left wondering what it means. Nothing to do except put one foot in front of the other and do the next right thing. Back to work!

    Take care all,

    Kylia love the wool balls in the dryers. I have some silicon ones I use to keep things from twisting in the dryer.

    Walking is out today. We got wet snow that some of it melted and not our temps are now in the twenties. Then we got another fine layer of snow overnight. You cannot see the ice under the snow. Drew will get her outing in the fenced yard today. I got exercise by shovelling again and going up and down the stairs. I also play the treat game and chase the squirrel toy with Drew to get her running and more exercise for her.

    Tomorrow afternoon we will be in the forties again so should be able to walk then.

    Ginny what IS it with those dried clothes that refuse to fold themselves? SMH. :laugh:

    Machka thanks for checking in.
    Michele sorry the launch got scrubbed.
    Rebecca those purple, Twinkie racing bunnies are cute and DO make my teeth hurt ;) Sending them to Athena?

    I’m thinking that even when we are both vaccinated, I’ll continue to minimize indoor group activities. Makes me sad, but if we got sick it would make me even sadder.

    Planning to indulgent today, will start March re-set tomorrow.

    February Summary and March Plan
    Everything needs improvement. :P

    Did change morning weigh-in to wii quick test daily full test weekly so could do some balance/cardio games. Seemed to impove my mood. Feb results:

    March resolve- improve February’s most important: Joe, steps, dogs, strength, dancing. Alternate 12-15 mins T’ai Chi and BB&B with wii balance games.

    Barbie: Thank you so much for the March thread. I appreciate you and our wonderful group of Women 50+. You all make my life better. :heart:

    Rita: Perseverance is an excellent word choice, and something we all need to create good lives for ourselves. :smiley:

    Margaret and Kylia: I also put something in the dryer to help with tumbling our wash. I use tennis balls. These have never been used on anything but tumbling laundry in the dryer. :bigsmile:


    We are looking forward to our first CoVid vaccinations. DH has his first appointment later today. My first appointment will be tomorrow morning. I am looking forward to both of our vaccinations, because we can begin to return to things we love and have been unable to do.

    HAPPY MARCH!!!

    I helped my dad set up a separate email account for my mom so she can have her own Walgreens account so she can sign up for the vaccinations. Still no appointments available, but the accounts are in place. Sigh! These things are so complicated. They have cell phones but they don't keep them charged and they interchange the numbers all the time. So it's not clear which number is on which account. Such a mess.

    Meanwhile I had a late lunch so I shouldn't be hungry. I'm really just bored. More boiled chicken for dinner.

    DH drove the car up to Devil's Dy ke today and went for a walk up there. He was a little annoyed that he felt a bit tired afterwards! He found the hill a bit steep. ;)
    It was a gorgeous day, but I was desperate for another episode of Spiral, so I did my rowing and cycling instead. One more episode until this series ends and I'm caught up with where we came in. :'(

    Lovely wholegrain spelt pasta meal today. Prawns, broccoli, tomatoes, green beans, and pesto. Parmesan. I definitely needed that bonus exercise.

    Love Heather UK xxxxxx

    Did a Jari Love DVD. I think tomorrow I’ll do some sort of cardio.

    Dee – thanks so much for the explanation

    Rebecca – what adorable “drivers”

    Exercised, Steve left, got dinner ready to microwave then went to see about a new tea kettle. I know that I definitely don’t want a stainless steel one, I want something that you can see thru like glass so I know readily how much water there is. Didn’t get one but it’s not something that’s urgent. Mahjongg tonight. I'll just leave to see the launch

    Barbara – the launch is scheduled for tonight at 8:15pm. Vince was talking to Jess and explained how Elon Musk is sending satellites into space so that internet can be had in rural places. Colby admitted that this will hurt his business. Well, it’s up to him to prepare for what will most likely happen.

    Okie TX – ((HUG)) Glad you can get the water

    Kylia – I have a sign that I put by my backdoor that says ‘backdoor guests are best” because most people come to my back door

    Michele
