Topic: RE: Sunday Sweat
I am glad to see you are back feeling better! Great job! Sometimes you just gotta take care of you and make sure you get to feeling better.
I am soooo jealous of your weather. Ohio weather just sucks. Period.
We usually have about 2 weeks of spring and 2 weeks of fall, and the rest is mostly winter with a little summer thrown in. I would love to live somewhere warmer where I could be outside all the time...
Keep it up girlfriend and stay well!
Hugs,
Val
