    Welcome folks - you definitely have a supportive group here - I am hoping to start up some challenges soon and enjoy interacting most with those who grew up loving 80’s and 90’s music (Especially 80’s) - feel free to add me!

    I’m seeing all these young athletic people on here, killing it at the gym, burning innumerable calories for hours at a time... I’m over here logging a 30 minute walk or workout on the Wii Fit whenever I can squeeze in a few minutes of personal time for myself, lol... 🤦🏼‍♀️

    Everyone had to start somewhere. And often times profile pictures are their inspiration as opposed to them

    That’s so true. I get so excited for something that burns calories and gets work done at the same time.

    Thanks! I'll have to repeat it in two weeks if I want to keep visiting but at least it's a start and I know the process now

    How was the test?

    Not bad really. Here where I live everyone can get a test so the while process was less than 45 minutes. The test itself stung a little and my now has been a bit tender and runny since. Then again it's allergy season too so it's sensitive. As I listened to others getting tested I was like fee 10 seconds is short I can do that easily...well 10 seconds with a giant swab up your nose swirling around feels like hours but it was fine really. Better than a throat swab

    My husband had it done twice. (Work related exposure) He said it's not pleasant, but over quickly.

    Enjoy the visit with your mom.

    My mom has had 4. They tested every senior who lives in a congregate environment and then she had an overnight at a hospital where she was tested 3 times! It's just weird but ya it doesn't take long.

    I have had no exposure and no symptoms. I think if they could they'd go door to door testing here

    Happy Thursday everyone.

    P.s. Had 3 tests to date. Bit uncomfortable. But unpleasant. No real drama

    Thanks after some confusion I have booked the patio for our visit. We still have to be distant and wear masks but it's something

    I'm with you. 30 to 45 minutes is fine. Better than nothing at all.
