I hurt the last two days after the yard work. So today I had to work, felt like a well worn throw rug but went for a 15 minute walk on my break. That revived me for the rest of the day. So tomorrow I should be more energetic and hopefully get to take another walk on my break. It is so nice out right now and I want to enjoy it before winter gets here. I know that the chill of fall will arrive too soon and then I'll be complaining about the cold and having to wear a coat, lol.

2 mile walk today. its humid out there! I was sweating too much to even try Rabbit Hollow. I am going to buy a Zumba for my Wii. that outta kill me :o

20 laps today, 21 more and i'll have 2011 for 2011!

sorry - I've been procrastinating on the exercises!!

but, I did do some gardening and picked pickles (okay, cucumbers) all week ... and today, I canned pickles for the FIRST time!!

it was so much excitement: 2 qts and 12 1/2 pints of dill slicers - that I had to take a power nap!! (which I rarely do!!)

I am pretty proud of myself - now I hope they turn out!! get to find out in 3 days!

Walked in a hurricaine. its offical im crazy! 2 miles. soaking wet, and I am chilled to the bone, but it was nice to survey the place before the storm knocks it down.

I'm so sorry folks, but for a change, it's a beautiful day in my neighborhood. Blue skies and 79 degrees with lower humidity.:)

For my exercise, I scrubbed the carpet and area where mouse had lived, cleaned up dodo, piddle and doggy :vomit:.

All done and done in.:)

Not crazy! ... You are hardcore! :hug:

I hope the damage isn't too severe in your area Dej, good job on the walk today, that's great determination!

Keep yourself safe, we'll be thinking of you. :grouphug:

Sally, nice job on getting er' done. It was chores day today here as well. :rolleyes:... nothing quite as brutal as cleaning up puppy messes though!

I did some walking around today to the grocery and carrying the stuff home, but for the most part laid low. Had a really crappy night of sleep and terrible nightmares, woke with my left side head throbbing (imagine due to incoming tropical storm/post tropical storm) and the pain was stronger than I've had recently. Along with that... my burning mouth crud is a wildfire today! Just not a pleasant 'feeling' day, health-wise.

My knee still hurts like crazy, but I went shopping to the Nebraska Furniture Mart yesterday to see if they had any electronic lift chairs for my mom. (she's worn out 3 of them so far) and found one that I thought would be good for her. So, I had to take her back today to show it to her.

Nebraska Furniture Mart is a HUGE (freaking ginormous!) furniture store that sells all sorts of furniture, electronics and other stuff. It's a heck of an undertaking to go there, (they have a "campus" of four huge buildings...not counting their warehouses) which is why I scouted it out yesterday, so that I would know what we were looking for. When I took my mom in there, I had to get a wheelchair for her from Security, because there's no way she'd have made the walk. So, I got her the lift chair she wanted (she got a military discount...she loves stores that do that) and I took a second look at a chair that had a floor sample sale sign on it. (floor model chair). Ended up getting myself a $1000 chair for $200. Mom's chair was a $800 chair, she got it for a little less than $750 (my chair is just a recliner, nothing electronic about it)

I love buying stuff on clearance. Hate paying full price. Glad my chair was on sale, and my mom had her military i.d. with her for her chair discount.

So, I count shopping as exercise. Got my mom a bag of See's Candies while we were there. (she was threatening me with death if I didnt buy her chocolate) So, I got extra walking out of the trip because we were by the front door when mom decided she wanted candy. See's Candies is on the other end of the building we were in.

Too many people there. It was an obstacle course...started wondering if it was a full moon today, because I saw two brothers beating the snot out of each other in the middle of the display floor. (thankfully neither of them drew blood, but they were big teenage guys)

Finally got out of the building, and I had to schlep myself over to the car on the other end of the parking lot. Get the car and drive back for my mom. No wonder my knee hurts tonight. At least my mom got her chocolate fix and a new comfy chair (the leather is chocolate colored. That'll come in handy when she spills chocolate or coffee on it). Just have to wait for the chairs to be delivered next week.

I'm tired tonight. Furniture shopping is hard. Now I know why my dad doesnt like to do it and has started to send me and my mom out to do all the furniture shopping anymore. It's exhausting!
