    We had Collin this morning for some fun. Pat had to p/u Ronan early today because he wasn't feeling well. He said his tummy hurt. Pat took him home. The house is so quiet right now…

    Just finished making soup. It poured today! The wind is crazy! It makes the rain go sideways, so no walking for me! Going to read and finish my coffee. Maybe walking to the post office on Thursday…maybe.

    Good job, Kathy!!

    We had Collin this morning then I had my trainer for a 60 min workout at noon then we had Ronan for video games w/Grandpa and homework.

    Today was cool and beautiful! Slight breeze. I hope tomorrow is the same and I can walk to the post office after Collin is picked up. Got my fingers crossed.

    Kathy I love group workouts. Very motivating. You enjoy.

    Paula I had a wash last month also. Exercise was ok. But nutrition was off.

    Chris I hope Ronan feels better soon. I love watching the rain. So peaceful at times.

    Today was a rest day. But I did clean all the filters in the new tank. Finally getting the nutrients up. There is green growing in it finally. Hopefully this is the beginning of the end of those nasty dinoflagellates. I would rather deal with green algae. Tomorrow I am heading to the gym. 19 work days left. Getting excited. It snowed today some. We are expecting a cold snap this weekend. If we do my peach trees will lose their buds. Grrr!

    night all

    My SIL discovered a lung condition early this year, and it may or may not become serious. The prednisone treatment is making her swollen, so she had to remove her rings. She bought a fake wedding band just to have "something." It was sad.

    Then a couple weeks ago, they found shadows on my brother (her DH) lungs. They're going to biopsy it to see if serious. Their daughters are young teenagers. Can't imagine how scary that is.

    My MIL had big fingers and Derek gave me all her rings, but they only fit my thumbs. So I offered one that looks like a wedding ring to SIL …and it fit! Made her happy. Made me happy. Little happinesses in the middle of life's whallops.

    Paula I pray everything is ok. very scary for them all.

    Hopefully we hear from Karen soon.

    My zumba class last night had burpees! And they were fast. I think I did my best burpees ever. Walked with hubby and my dogs today. Watched my god son play basketball. He is 3! It was fun.

    Only did 45 mins on my recumbent Saturday. Sunday will be a rest day. Surprisingly Ron with dinner. Cooking my version of a healthy chicken veggie stir fry.

    Shelley, So proud of you and your burpees.

    Dear Shelley Burpee Super Goddess,

    I have only one response, "Ugh, burpees! No way no way no way no way no no no no no!!"

    Y'know that ad "Help! I've fallen and I can't get up!" I thought it was because the person was injured but learned from experience* that old legs simply aren't strong enough to lift folks from the ground. So now I've got an excuse! 😂

    But seriously, you're amazing. 😎

    *I had dropped into a squat on my deck and could not - for anything - get back up again, even pulling on the railings with my arms. I had to crabwalk to the top of the stairs and use them like a chair to stand up from. I've lost weight and can get up now (tested it) but it's still hard.
