@abrightrn Nice loss this week! I'm ok so far…haven't lost power, but the gusts are starting to come through…my shower rod/curtain fell during one of the gusts…weird coincidence maybe…neighbor's storage shed door frame is coming away from the top of the door…also probably due to the gusts…mother nature doesn't play, as you know! It's gonna be blowing like mad until later this evening and that's probably all we'll get from it. It rained non-stop all night, sometimes heavy, but I'm not in a flood zone and am well away from any tidal flooding concerns. I'm a half hour from the beach.
Thanks for checking on me…my cold is disappearing, just a little of the cough left. I'm on vacation this coming week, so looking forward to the downtime, piddling around the house, doing some organizing and doing a little cooking. Should be a nice week. I am supposed to get my car back mid-week…that will be nice…don't like feeling trapped at home, even if more likely than not, I'd stay home anyway (LOL!)
Hope you have a nice week…guess I should get to reading on the new Oct book! Have you started it yet? Thoughts?

@Pupowl How are you feeling today? Hope you're getting strength back and that your headache has dimished…and hope you're feeling strong enough to take your walk today. I know you love your nature time! Been enjoying your mushroom and forest photos SO much…it's one of my relaxers when I get home in the evenings! Thanks for sharing your gift!

Saturday indoor walk2 -
Hello Shape Shifters. Another boring rest day here. I did feel slightly better than yesterday, though my head still feels very stuffy and I am very tired. I hope to go back to the gym again on Tuesday. I missed 3 days last week which isn't great. I want to make sure I am really better before starting 75 hard again so the plan for now is to jump back in on Saturday. Though I will pick up most of the tasks already starting Tuesday. Probably no walk tomorrow yet since I have to go to the vet in the morning so there isn't a lot of time to get one in before. Good night 💜
@jessicakrall8 Thanks for asking! I am starting to feel a little better thankfully. Should walk again Tuesday so will see if I can hunt some more mushrooms then. Loved seeing Betty enjoy her new tree! I hope you will have a great vacation week.

Glad you’re feeling better and surviving the terrible weather!
I like the book and zooming through it. Very easy read and I’m looking forward to our discussion. Think it will spark some very interesting and current conversations! Of course since I’m retired I have plenty of time to read! LOL
Great touching base and you enjoy your well deserved week off! 💖💖

Stubbed my little toe on my right foot- it's black/blue/purple and really hurts so I didn't go for a walk yesterday
I'm going to try today since I'm off because of Columbus Day as I work for a bank, but we'll see - I have my shoes on right now and not very comfortable 😡

I've always found it ironic that the small parts of us that get hurt ALWAYS HURT THE MOST…like a paper cut, stubbed toe, mashed finger, etc…hope you feel better soon…definitely easier to wear sandals with a foot injury…can't tell you how many times I've hurt my little toes…ouch!
Hang in there, gal!

Hello Shape Shifters. Not much to talk about here. Still taking it very easy. I went to the vet with Tinus for his painkiller shot in the morning. He hid in a small cave of his cat tree and really didn't want to come out! I had to slowly pull him out front legs first, as if I was delivering a horse or something. He was also very grumpy at the vet and was not happy with the shot. He got an extra treat as usual when we got home so I am pretty sure he forgot about it all in no time. It's only around 8 minutes walking to the vet and I was absolutely wiped out after. Shows I am not really better and don't have my energy back yet. I went to the store late in the afternoon to pick up some cough syrup which sadly didn't help very much. I hope I feel good enough to walk tomorrow morning, but I will decide when I get up. Good night 💙

Good morning team! Hope those of you who are experiencing fall foliage are enjoying it! Fall in Miami means beautiful crisp mornings and sunny days in the low 80s. I miss the fall colors, but I’m loving this weather!
So my dental appliance to help me sleep finally came in. Because I have a horrible gag reflex, I’m starting with just the upper mouth guard for one week, then switching to just the lower for the second week, before we try the whole thing. Lots of gagging last night, but I made it through the night. So that’s a win! Tonight I’ll try rinsing with salt water before I try (that’s what they do for me when I have X-rays)🤷♀️Wishing you a wonderful day!!

Good morning y'all:
It's overcast, foggy and rainy here in Virginia…I could use a dose of Florida Fall, I think… @nancyinmiami Hook me up!!! Hope your dental appliance helps…
Lazy vacation day for me…Betty is just excited we're both up awake and she's racing around the house gathering up her toys from room to room. She's so crazy! Love her to pieces!

Still sick today, just walking around the house had me out of breath. I did manage to do laundry, washed my bedsheets too and cleaned the bedroom and bathroom. I wanted to do a bit more, but I had zero energy. I guess it is something. I really need to get out of the house tomorrow and at least get my 12k steps! Good night 💜

Yes, I live in Florida. Yes, it is currently 82 degrees. Yes, I am wrapped in a blanket. I will not be taking questions at this time😂😂😂. Not sure how it happened, but somehow I became a true Floridian. May need to break out the coat for tonight!

@LaurieWrobo - I hope your toe feels well enough to enjoy your bowling league tonight and heals quickly! ❤️🩹
I’m glad you’re feeling more relaxed and have a chance to rest @jessicakrall8. I hope your car is fixed soon! The image of Betty excitedly sharing all her toys made me smile — Have fun! 🤩
It’s so nice that you have been able to embrace your retirement and new home/ surroundings @nancyinmiami. That’s a great photo and funny reflection. Stay warm!
@Pupowl - I hope you feel better soon. I’ll have to restart 75 Hard, too. I couldn’t keep up the routine while traveling to Japan, but I’m glad I was able to complete a number of good days. Every good day is a chance to practice and improve — and better than a day with no tracking or exercise at all! We’ll try again!There’s been a lot of illness circulating as we transition from summer to fall. I hope all are Shape Shifter team members are able to shake off the last of their colds, allergies, and injuries. Take care!

Got my car back today and it drives like a dream! They waived my deductible as the accident was not my fault. So happy to save that money!!! Things are tight right now! Went and picked up my prescriptions for the rest of the year…it was just nice to drive around for a little bit, even in the rain!
@nancyinmiami I am cracking up at your picture…82 degrees and in a blankie…I'm shaking my head!! WE ARE SISTERS!! That would have been me…especially if there was a breeze. One of these days, I'm gonna get down there to visit…that view is amazing…
