Well, thank you for putting things in perspective. You are right-I do try and that's all I can do. I do feel like my mom just wants me to keep my distance and just help her when she asks. So that's what I'm going to do. Plus knowing it's not just my family makes me feel better, but I wish it...

Good morning! Are you feeling better? DS2 has Covid now. It's everywhere. We are seeing a lot at the office. Fortunately I tested negative last week and was able to work on Friday. I'm feeling better. This past Monday I started back at PT for my back and leg. He said I was locked, but not...

I'm so sorry to hear about your MIL. At least they know what it is and can treat it. I wish the same could be said for your abdominal pain. Doing what you feel like is where I'm at too. Some days weights, some days a 20 minute walk, some days pool. Speaking of covid...I've been home sick...

Yikes, job hunting is a nightmare. No wonder you're not sleeping well. Good plan to get your resume updated. I hope it all works out. To me, two weight and two walks is a normal week of workouts! I did one chest and then one upper body last week (the one part day didn't even make it a...

I'm so glad you got away and had some quality down time at the condo. Did you sleep any better there? I've been taking a 20 minute walk just about every day. I consider it my body's bone walk and so far so good. Did more biking for cardio this week since the weather was nice. This weekend...

Hi! I hope you are enjoying your time off! Are you guys going to your condo for part of it? I'm trying to talk Dan into going to Buffalo this coming Saturday to the second biggest art museum in New York state. They have some of the Impressionists works in their collection. I'm pushing for...

Hey! How are you? How is school going for the girls? How is work? I am doing fine. I've started doing the ICE weight work-one body part a day. Monday was chest, Wednesday was back. Shoulders-planned for Friday and Bi's and Tri's on Saturday (such small muscles I'm going to do abbreviated...

We have not found a car and now the good car is back in the shop. I'm feeling a little trapped in my town! Hopefully this week we get it back again and it runs. Juniors in high school! Wow! Before you know it they'll be off to college. I've been helping my mom a bit with my dad. His...

The winery was a good time. Dan apologized for making such a fuss about going. We had a fun table, good food, and lucked out on the weather. It was pouring when we left home, but by the time we got to the venue it was sunny. We are still waiting to get our car back from getting...

Hi! I've had a pretty good week. I went for the nerve test on Monday. Nothing remarkable in the results-all nerves are good. So I probably don't need nerve surgery anyway. Next step will be to talk to the podiatrist about my symptoms and see what he advises. In my own experimentation I...

I've settled into a pattern of one bike ride and three pool workouts a week. Monday (tomorrow!) I finally get to have the nerve conduction study completed. After that I'll meet with my podiatrist to see what he recommends. My foot is warm and achy now. I'm still doing my stretches and my back...

Not much going on here. Saturday I did the pool and tried a short walk without success. I went to see my PCP last week and have an order for PT for my back and leg. She feels like all the muscles are tightened around the SI joint again and it's affecting the whole gait and leg. So I'm going...

Not much new here. I'm still stretching and doing low impact. I did try to take a 30 minute flat walk yesterday and may need to go for more PT. Still debating. I feel like I'm slowly getting better. Been spending my days on my back porch with the birds and books. Yesterday DH and I went to...

How was your week? I tried walking to work on Wednesday and won't be trying that again soon. I'm back into resting the foot mode and trying to let it heal. I have the EMG scheduled for 7/29 to see if nerves are involved. So pool and bike it is. Otherwise, just working and watching soccer...

I have been up to trying to stay cool! The only times are when I'm at work or in the pool. We have some kind of heat dome over us and it's not fun! Last week I did pool on Monday, Thursday, and Saturday. Tuesday and Friday I rode the bike at the gym after work. Other than that-no formal...

Sounds like you had a great Father's day! I got to see my dad and DS2 called his dad, but otherwise it was pretty low key. We've been watching lots of soccer. I got 4 workouts in last week-2 bike rides, 1 pool, and 1 upper body. I'm really trying to rest my foot and have stopped the...

Wow-I'm hoping I can hang on working until 62! I wonder how much AI will impact jobs. Did she still record or were they switching to a different type of recording. I get voicemails now that AI types out so I can read or listen to them. Feels like we're on the precipice of a big computer/data...

What a lovely story! That makes me so happy that the girls have a sister and it sounds like everyone had a happy ending. How was it seeing all the old friends? Must have been quite a reunion! Last week was just 3 workouts-2 pool and a bike ride. I just wasn't feeling weight lifting. I'm...

Well, I'm trying to get 2 good foot days in a row right now. I had to stand to pedal on Wednesday's bike ride and had a set back. My foot seems to get a lot of inflammation with any impact. So yesterday I did a Cathe live for upper body-toasted trisets. Felt great and am pleasantly sore...

I got to spend time with my niece and her husband this past weekend. We had the burial service for my sister in law Saturday. It was sad, but also celebratory since we shared so many memories. The chicken cat turned out great. I ended up cooking it on Friday and then just reheating it on...
