Musings of the day:
A bit of a shorter walk today. I was really hot and I just felt like a bag of potatoes; it was a slog! I got it done though which is the important part. I biked to the grocery store right after. I had carrots, toilet paper, bananas and burrito's on my list and that is exactly what I came home with. Victory!
When I was out in the front garden with Tinus, my neighbour from across the street come home. She had her arms full with a bag, a package and a baby. As she was walking to her front door she moved out of my sight because of some bushes. Shortly after I heard a loud bang and then the baby started crying very loudly. That kicked up my heartrate for sure; I thought she had dropped the child at first! I looked over and saw them both on the ground with her struggling to sit up. I tied Tinus' leash to my metal bench and ran over. Another girl was home and she also noticed something was wrong and came outside. Thankfully the baby was fine and just crying from shock. There was an uneven part in the stone walkway, she stepped on the edge, rolled her ankle and landed on her shoulder really hard plus she was dizzy. She could still move her arm and rotate it, so I don't think it was anything serious. I stayed for a while, but since she also had a friend with her and I couldn't do anything, it felt a little awkward after a while. So I asked if she needed anything, she said no and I went back to my garden and Tinus, who thankfully was still patiently sitting where he was when I ran off. They went inside a few minutes later so hopefully everything was good.
The rest of the day was a lot less eventful thankfully! I got the long carpet for Tinus delivered. I am so happy I bought this one and returned the other one, though I don't understand how it was so cheap. It is 3.5 meters long so he can now run all over the hallway without slipping. I love it! It started raining at the end of the morning and it kept going most of the day, so it was pretty quiet with lots of tea and some laptime for Tinus.
My hunger today wasn't bad at all which was nice. I was feeling a little lazy from all the sitting inside because of the rain so I figured I would try this short 10 minute walking with weights workout. I used my small 2.2 lbs weights and boy was I wrong thinking it would be easy. My arms turned into wet noodles and I had to ditch the weights entirely for some movements. It was fun and it did feel very fast though, so I might do this more often when I feel bored/lazy. Have a good day everyone

@TashieB24 I got you added for the step challenge. Please also give us your steps for 30/06 and 01/07 if you have them since that is when we started for July, thanks! Sounds like you have a lovely place to walk.

@Pupowl - It’s a good thing you were there to help your neighbor and I’m glad she didn’t seem to get injured too seriously by her fall. It sounds as though it was reassuring to the baby and helpful to your neighbor to have you there! 😅

Go steppers! It looks like many Shape Shifters are committed to walking and tracking steps this month.
