Penguin, I've been battling the boredom from doing the same type workouts, too, even though I haven't been doing them very long.
When I walk on the treadmill, it's usually only 2% incline, and 3.3 MPH, so I can read. That prevents the boredom, but it doesn't really pump up my heart rate.
SB, have fun with your daughter at dinner. I got an Oral B a few years ago, because my dental hygienist suggested one. I don't know if it does clean better, but it's got a two minute timer, so I know I brush long enough.
All I've done today is treadmill reading - I've been reading some books by Victor Methos that are free with Prime Reading, and while they can get gory in spots, they do make the time fly by! I read something different at night before I go to sleep.
I did try another Heart Healthy Leslie after dinner last night, but it was from a really brisk segment, and while it was fun, I modified down, because I'd showered before dinner.
The weather today is warmer, but still not hot, so I pulled some weeds and got my garden bed ready for a fall crop of beans and chard. That's all the seeds I have so that's what I'll plant. I have a few tomato plants that have lived thru the heat, and they're blooming, so I hope to get tomatoes again before it gets too cold. I ate the 1st grapefruit off my tree yesterday, but they need more time. It was close, but not quite ripe.

If the only prayer you say in your life is Thank You, that would suffice.
Meister Eckhart
It is our resistance to things as they are that causes most unhappiness.
When you rise in the morning, give thanks for the light, for your life, for your
strength. Give thanks for your food and for the joy of living. If you see no
reason to give thanks, the fault lies in yourself. Tecumseh
