Hi,
Sorry for disappearing yesterday. Thursday night I had about 45 minutes sleep, and then woke up worrying because we had not heard from our son. He had been staying over his girlfriend's house 35 minutes away for a few nights. They had gone into Philly for a concert Thursday night (we were not thrilled, they could have gotten a refund) because it was the last show before they were shutting down. He was supposed to let us know when they got back to her house, and of course he forgot. I could not get back to sleep until almost 3 am and woke up at 6 am .That meant no workout on Friday.
This morning I could not settle into anything. I started a Soul Sweat with Chantal class, and did about 25 minutes of it. I stopped because I really disliked the music. Instead of her usual world music, she was using light jazz, which I did not find motivating at all. I switched to another class and did 25 minutes. I tried to do yoga, but my brain won't shut off. I will try to do it later.
I am frustrated because my knees have been kind of cranky. I think the longer dance cardio is bugging them. I did boxing earlier in the week, but that hurt my neck/shoulders. My recumbent bike hurts my knees. Sigh...I may switch to NIA or Barefoot dancer which is gentler than Soul Sweat and see if that helps.
Maybe I'll try kickboxing with more kicks than upper body work.
I think I need to keep the news off today. It is really getting to me. Our son works in retail, so I"m worried about him. He is wearing gloves and being careful, but it still worries me. His college is closed for spring break and switched to remote classes, so at least he won't be going there for awhile..
Pat, I do not blame you one bit for being anxious. I would totally be freaked out by any eye procedure and it's so much worse that you could hear what was going on! I hope you continue to improve-sending you hugs .
Pam, we now have 50 cases in NJ. One of them is from Princeton, which isn't far from me. The person apparently after not feeling well went to a dance party on Staten Island and to a function at a Princeton Hospital. Who knows how many people she could have exposed. Sigh.....Where is common sense?
Kate, your grandchildren give you so much joy! I miss that age-they are so sweet. Enjoy!!
Cyana, I hope you get plenty of time to relax.
I stocked up on groceries, but I am wondering about future supplies. We buy a lot of things in bulk anyway, so we should be okay for awhile. I did a bunch of batch cooking-I made steel cut oatmeal in the Instant pot, cooked apples and cinnamon in the crock pot, roasted a chicken(which I made into chicken noodle soup), made three kinds of roasted vegetables and of course baked chocolate chip cookies
. I also made our son's favorite pasta dish-tortellini with pesto, chicken and sundried tomatoes. I shouldn't have to cook anything until Tuesday !
Have a great day. I am going to sink myself into mindless comedy reruns and absorbing books this weekend.....friends did invite us over, but they want to eat out, (they don't cook much) so we declined. We are not comfortable with eating out right now.
