HI Everyone!

Linda Keep us updated about the surgery date.

No workout to report because I was working on getting the vacation stuff put away. Tomorrow I will work on the stack of mail that came in. Geesh, normally I don't get that much mail. I did get my steps in, though. I did a lot of walking in the house.

Have a Blessed evening!

Walked by the ocean in Pacific Grove. It's cooled off nearly to coastal normal, such a relief. Had my singing lesson today. Vocal exercise.

I seem to have taken root here in my little house - 17 years! I used to move every 2 or 3 years. I sure remember it was a lot of work. Cheryl, your new place sounds lovely.

Diana, glad you had a nice vacation. Vacations seem never to be long enough. I read a travel article recently that said 10 days is the minimum, for getting relaxed and then enjoying things. Who can afford 10 days?!

Linda, hoping your MRSA test results are good.

Learned of covid illness of 2 of my dancing friends, from a FB post today. She's having mild symptoms, but he's sick and hospitalized. Jean and Craig, if you can add them to your prayer list.

Diana3271 · 10-22-20, 07:48 AM

Good Morning, Everyone!

Cynthia I will pray for Jean and Craig. Any updates on Baby Luna?

Last night: Balance Exercises section from Jane Adams Stronger Standing Balance and Tamilee Webb's Total Body Stretch (standing)
This morning: Oxycise

Have a Blessed day, stay safe and healthy!

Yesterday I did Fitness Blender: Arms, Chest, Back, and Shoulders, and I walked outdoors. Today is our anniversary. We (all three of us) are going to walk at one of the big parks that I used to love to walk in when I lived here in the past. It's a beautiful fall day here!

Diana, I love balconies and sea views. It's always a dream to have rooms like those at hotels. We've had a couple. It does take a lot of time to decompress on a vacation. I'm glad you got to have the time you had!

Our deck is on the back of the house, almost two stories up (although there is no basement). Our backyard only extends a little behind the deck. Beyond the fence, there is a little creek. And there are trees. We have a nice mix of light and shade, with the trees providing privacy. Right now it's a golden morning and we are sitting out with our coffee, watching yellow leaves drift down like snow when the breeze blows.

Cynthia, it sounds like you're getting to take some lovely walks. Praying for Jean and Craig! Please keep us updated.

Linda, let us know about the surgery when you find out.

Lynn, that's good news about your mom's illness. Hopefully she will recover quickly!

Cheryl

Sounds wonderful!

Today I used the rowing machine for 20 minutes. I thought rowing would make the shoulder pain worse but it actually feels great. My wrists are straight when I row so they aren't an issue. Then I did yoga from YouTube. No word yet on MRSA or surgery.

Walked slightly more than 2 miles, uphill. This was from the Ford shop after I took it in for service.

Diana3271 · 10-22-20, 10:00 PM

HI Everyone!

Check-In: 45 minute outdoor walk

Have a Blessed evening!

Diana3271 · 10-23-20, 08:03 AM

Good Morning, Everyone! Happy Friday!

Last night: Basic Stretches
This morning: Oxycise

Have a Blessed day, stay safe and healthy!

Diana, Baby Luna had successful heart surgery (which I posted a while ago, you may have missed it) and after a few days of recovery and observation, finally got to go home.

Thanks for the prayers for Jean and Craig. They contradance, which is how I know them. They also square dance, which I had forgotten until I read a prayer request for them on my church prayer requests email. (The requestor asked for prayers for "our friends," meaning her & her husband's, and I'm like how do they know them? and then remembered the square dancing.) So I'm sure I'll get updates that way.

There is some crossover but usually contra and square are like the Jets and the Sharks. I went to a local square dance once and never again. It was an evening sponsored by the contradance community. First half of the evening, live band and contra. Very friendly, which is the contradance atmosphere; everyone mixed around with different partners. Second half, recorded music and squaredance. Wanna dance? NO, I have to dance with my regular partner. That's their exclusive culture and I don't pay an entrance fee to be rejected. My church friends who square dance often encourage me to go to the dances (in non-pandemic times) but admit that it's strictly couples. Oh but there occasionally is a singles dance and there are always plenty of women, you could dance with them. Not my idea of a fun evening.

Back later.
