Tuesday check-in

Judy, I was finding that exercise was not happening for me either.  I had planned to start yesterday also and it did not happen.  So I have made a standing appointment with my Gazelle every week day morning at 6 am for at least 30 minutes.  I did start today.  Make that appointment with yourself, the rest of the day will not be as stressful after the workout.

You are worth the extra time.                

Thank you so much for your kind words and support...  I'm not a morning person, so 6 am wouldn't work for me... but i'm heading to my treadmill as soon as i finish my lunch!!  I'm going to take your advice and put it on my calendar!!!

I headed out to see the Dr again about my hand. It's healing, but not quite as well as he'd like, so I'll be going back in two weeks. Let's hope for better news then or I may be looking at a surgical repair... UGH!!!

Among other things yesterday, I got out the cleaning brushes, bucket, towels, etc... and worked on cleaning the doors,  door frames, and baseboards. I think I only got about half of them done before my hand and arm were really aching. Oh... I was also cleaning a bunch of the furniture, etc... I must be pining for spring. LOL. At any rate, I had to stop and will have to wait a while before I resume the cleaning stuff. 

Today, after I ran a couple of errands, Ben helped me take down the holiday stuff in the family room and take down the decorations from the tree in the family room. I still have to take the tree itself apart and wrap it up to pack it away. Then we'll need to tackle the bigger tree in the living room and finally the outside stuff. I don't know that I'll get to it all today. We'll see. 

I need to get out some calendars I made for the holidays that just arrived yesterday. I hope to get them all wrapped, boxed and ready to go tomorrow. 

I made a pot of turkey and wild rice soup and it's simmering on the stove... Smells wonderful, even if I do say so myself ;-). 

Like everyone else, I'm freezing!!! It's the only time I miss my natural 'insulation' ... LOL! Seriously, I have the hardest time getting and staying warm. 

Hope everyone has a better day and finds a good way to get/stay warm... If you find a way to get/stay warm, let me know.
