Check-in: indoor walking. It was raining today, and my walking book club meeting was happening. I really didn't want to walk in the rain -- pants get wet even when you have an umbrella. So, I led the group, none of whom ever heard of Leslie Sansone, in some walkaerobics. They got bored with this in under 10 minutes and then we went into the sanctuary and pretended the pews were a labyrinth. The music director, when walking started to bother her replaced hip, played walking music for us on the piano.

It's been a bit hard getting a routine going especially living in one room with someone whose sleep schedule differs a lot from mine. It doesn't hit you fully until you just have one room. I've been a bit on and off with the shoulder stretching and for some reason doing an exercise program for 30 minutes or even 20 minutes in the am seems daunting. But DH and I do walk every evening. Today I did do my shoulder stuff and 15 minutes of barre 3. It's Corpus Christi so everything is closed so I am working at home. The project is going well. Yesterday I also got to the main museum, which was nice; they rehung the paintings, which was interesting to see. The museum isn't very crowded and it is great to see some incredible masterpieces without anyone in your way. Hear that, Mona Lisa!

Cynthia, DD's employer sounds incredibly mean. Hoping she triumphs. Enjoy camp!

Diana, glad you are having such nice weather this summer and hope it keeps up. Sorry about the smoke. I hear NYC is horrible.

Linda, do not let MM get you jumping around. Glad MM is so recovered.

Cheryl, how was the trip to Amsterdam? I saw Peter Gabriel was in Munich end of May (before I got here).

Hi all, I got home after midnight last night, thanks to a delayed flight and a long wait for the metro. We were exhausted, but we had a great time in Amsterdam! The concert was wonderful - the sound was excellent, as were the visuals. The person we were with used to run LiveNation Europe, which is the company that puts on all the big tours over here (he's worked with everyone from Lady Gaga to Madonna to the Police, etc.). He says this is one of the two best venues in Europe to see a show. Peter Gabriel's voice was strong and his band was so good.

We also spent a couple of days walking around Amsterdam. The weather was unusually good the entire time. The city was beautiful and colorful. We walked many miles each day.

This morning I did an upper body strength workout from Heather. My arm is still twinging from the nerve damage, but I was able to hold ten pound weights (carefully). So it's healing!

Cynthia, it's a good thing your DD has a brilliant lawyer on her side, lol. Fingers crossed that she wins this case.

Lynn, sounds like you are having a wonderful time. I hear you on the challenges of working out and maintaining other schedule differences in a small space.

Diana, I want to send DD to an international school's summer camp for a week here. But I also need to try to take her back to the U.S. this summer to see family. So that's a bit of planning! Are you planning any special trips this summer?

Linda, glad you are starting to feel better! You have a good team on your side between your SO and MM.

Diana3271 · 06-08-23, 07:48 PM

Hi Everyone!

Cheryl Sounds like a wonderful trip. How long will you be in the US?

Check-In: Outdoor walk

Have a Blessed evening!
