Happy Week-end. We didn't go to the farmer's market yesterday, as two of my main vendors weren't there. One was taking a well-deserved day off and the other just had a baby several days ago (OK, in the interest of accuracy, his wife had the baby ). And the handyman was here working until late afternoon, so I had to be "on call" since DH had to work. I now have steps to my front porch, but the railings and other wood repairs are still to be done. He's working alone, so it's going to take longer. As I told DH, as long as it gets done (properly), I'm not in a rush, especially when you consider how long it took us to get someone to commit to the job and actually show up!
I was really stiff this AM, so I'll work-out this afternoon. I'm thinking I could use something nurturing. Pat - I've been pretty low energy this week, too. Yesterday, I watched lots of animal videos on YT, since I had to be listening out for the handyman to knock at the door. I didn't want to listen to bad news and needed something to make me chuckle. Speaking of birds, I checked in on the West River nest this AM and saw mom feeding the two larger chicks and not the runt. I hope I just missed that part versus her not feeding the runt at all. I love the owls in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYOSKYWg-5E . It would be impossible for me to be in a bad mood after watching this. Margot - I watched a few minutes of the NSD clip - that looked like fun. And the first song made me think of The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0gGWiRkjYM . I like circuit training and compound moves. Over the years I'd frequently make up my own cardio/weight circuit work-outs so that I could customize them to the amount of time I had available to work out. I was chatting with a co-worker this week, and she has a plot in a community garden in her area. She paid $20 for a 30 x 30 ft plot that has a water faucet right next to her plot - I thought that was a steal. She has a ton of veggies planted! She also has a major landscape project going on - creating a woodland garden (she's doing the work herself). I'm hoping she'll send me pictures. Thanks for the link to the glasses. Sandra - I hope the plumbing issue at work was resolved - that could be most unhandy in a library! Pam - A 90 minute massage - that sounds absolutely decadent. Paine - Is replacing grass with artificial turf common in your area? It makes sense, considering the water situation. Grass is such a waste of resources and I'm trying to get rid of as much of mine as possible. I was also watching gardening and landscape videos on YT yesterday - including using cardboard covered by bark to control weeds in flower beds. I think it's wonderful that your grandson enjoys walking. I never realized that DS paid attention to the fact that I was a regular exerciser until I discovered that he did push-ups and such in his room every morning and he still walks regularly. Carolyn - Hope your back is back to 100% and that you got everything moved to Payson. Must run - need to knock out some things on the to do list. Will try to check back in with some meaningful physical activity later.
