cm2020 and Runnermum - thank you for the b'day wishes. What a joy to read twitter yesterday and my birthday candles blow-out wish came true! Biden/Harris win has moved the dial over to here to placing pressure on the PM to avoid a no deal Brexit. Love it!
I'm going to walk in the countryside with dh as we have sunshine and it's mild, very mild for this time of year.

LB- I am so thankful that your birthday wish came true; I am hopeful for the first time in a long time. Also, your bathroom looks beautiful!
Wonderland- there’s nothing boxy about you or your photos. Beautiful!
Edj- I got osteoporosis from the aromatase inhibitors. The positive news is that my bone density is slightly improving now that I am done taking those meds. Hoping you see positive progress as well.
In true 2020 fashion, we just felt tremors from an earthquake in eastern mass. Crazy!

I got my 14 miles in yesterday morning. Great running weather...mid 30s and a slight breeze.Today is windy and warm, but will do a short 2-3 miles and yoga. Have a tight right hip.

Did Zoom Yoga & an hour on the treadmill. The temperatures were fine but the wind was gusting to 50 mph. I think, in my quest to take advantage of the unusually nice weather, I overdid the exercise last week. I am TIRED and achy both!!

The below is a photo taken by local photographer Fiona Beadle yesterday on her walk. We have had a grey foggy morning start. I'm working on Pilates & yin yoga lesson plan for tomorrows zoom classes. I'll run through them both today and walk in the afternoon. Have a good start to the week everyone and Ginger hope you are feeling better today and stay safe!

Good Monday morning. I've already been up for over an hour and awake since 4am (this seems to be the norm lately). After not being able to fall back to sleep and restless in bed for an hour, I get up at 5. Check personal emails, work emails and come here. On nice weather days, I run before work, but it's cold this morning so think I'll pass. I'll shower, eat breakfast and then walk at 7:30 for 25 minutes. I'll also use my CUBI during the 2 - 2 hour zoom meetings that I have this morning. On New rules went into effect last night. It's 28 at 6:15 with a high of only mid 30s. Mountains are getting snow, but Denver will only get a skif. We had 70s most of last week. The other morning it was 55 at this time.
Health order for the next 30 days. Stay at home 10pm to 5 am. Restaurants can only offer take out or delivery after 10. Bars close at 10. No more than 5 people get together from 2 families can get together. Let's see how many people follow it. The celebrations Saturday night sure are a concern for spread as so many people is such close proximity and many no masks. My synagogue is sending out a letter with stricter guidelines regarding Covid. Denver hospitals are more crowded now than in the spring. Our weekly positivity rate is over 11% and yesterday daily rate was over 12%!!!! Very unsettling.
Have a great Monday. Time to get ready for work. Less than 2 hours before my first meeting!

My birthday was yesterday and was extra wonderful due to Joe Biden being elected president Saturday!!! It was a wonderful weekend full of celebration and unbelievable relief.
Now back to the routine. I have power walked with weights this morning and feel fantastic!

I was so exhausted that I went to bed at 8:30 last night! I still feel draggy this morning and am lying low. I think I'll do some yoga later and go to Zumba. The bottom has dropped out of our weather. It was 66 degrees yesterday and 27 this morning. Brrrr.....there's a wind too so it feels like 10 degrees.....
Karen, I wish our state officials would have some rules. We hardly have any hospital beds in the whole state and 18% of the tests are coming back positive. Too many people are ignoring the whole thing which puts us all in danger. Frustrating and dangerous.

Happy Birthday cm2020! Karen, we are under Covid lockdown restrictions that similar - yet our's a bit more strict. We have already been told Christmas will be different and have not laid out what 'different' is or means. Well shall see in the fullness of time.
Off to zoom two live stream classes from the gym.

This week is National School Psychology Week. I got the nicest email from my department manager. We've worked together most of 11 years. First she was the SW in my building. She is young and she is amazing. And she is my direct boss. I also got a nice email from one of my fellow SP team mates. It is nice to get them to boost my self-esteem and make me think I can do this for a few more years!. There are days I do doubt myself but overall I know I am. quite good at what I do. I'm not the oldest SP or SW in our department of around 300, there are a handful of others who are past my age. But on my team of about 15, I am definitely the oldest by 4 years and some of my teammates are younger than my two oldest kids. They are young but they are good and put up with me
. I always need help with technology.Got to bundle up for a walk - it's cold and damp again tonight.

Happy Birthday, cm2020!
Karen, thank you for what you do for kids.
I cleaned house this morning. In the afternoon, we bundled up and took two naughty dogs for a long walk. I think the cooler weather and all the smells from the decaying leaves (and who knows what else) makes them extra crazy in the fall! I had a Zoom meeting tonight for an advisory board I'm on & was quite excited about the fact that I had an excuse to wear makeup, earrings and a nice top. I even polished my fingernails! Silly but nice to do something normal.

cm: Happy Belated Birthday! Love your birthday present.
Karen: I enjoy reading about your job and feel your passion for it. The children in Denver are so lucky to have a dedicated person who will be there for them.
LB: That photograph is beautiful.
Ruth: Sounds like you had a good night's sleep. I have a zoom meeting tomorrow night - probably won't put on makeup but think I'll wear some dangling earrings.
I've been walking/running, raking leaves, and mowing. So ready to put the mower up for the winter!

Hello friends, I am finally back online! This is my first stop on the BCO discussion boards. Looking forward to catching up with everyone.
Retired from my job last month and loving it. I get to sleep in, take afternoon naps, and walk whenever I wish. SO enjoyed the great fall weather we had up until, well, yesterday. I've been doing home projects like cleaning out closets and kitchen cabinets, making applesauce and soup stock for the freezer, and getting the yard tidy for the winter.
My hubby retired in the spring. Now that the garden is done, he has taken up pie baking as a hobby YUM! We are at home a lot due to COVID but thankfully our local library is open and we both like to read.
Had final onco visit in Feb and was released from his care. Didn't renew gym membership because I'm over 60 and didn't feel good about being around a bunch of sweaty unmasked youngsters breathing hard. (I live in a college town with a high infection rate and stupid people who still like to gather in herds and party). Why spend the money and take chances? Maybe next year...

I quit wearing make up several year ago unless I'm dressed up for a dressy occasion. I do dress daily with earrings cuz I want to feel good. Mostly I wear jean skirts and tops.
Using my Cubii but hard to type while pedaling. Its in the low 20s so will wait a bit for a walk. Will shower and eat breakfast first. Busy day today. Tomorrow and Friday afternoon is my state associations virtual convention.

Badger! How nice to see you again. You have been on my mind since our Daytona pics recently came up on facebook memories. I hear you about the gym, but like you said - next year. Congrats on your retirement - you are going to love it!
So we had our first pickleball lessons yesterday - I really like the instructor, but he is a low talker so hard to hear unless he's up close - kind of hard to do with masks and social distancing. But I think it will be good for me. DH is also taking them, and he's going to set up something on the garage doors so we can practice.

BADGER!
So good to hear from you again! And you retired - How wonderful! Congratulations on your release. Lots to celebrate! 0 -
Have been enjoying all the posts...Happy Birthday LB and welcome back Badger!!!
Have been pretty steady in my 6 yoga/pilates classes a week, my only day off is Saturday. SE Virginia has recovered from our one day of cold last week, Monday ten days ago, the last 10 days have been back in the 70's. While I love the warmer weather, at some point I would like some cold to kill off the mold/bugs/etc. It is so warm and damp that the forecast each morning says "Fog" instead of sunny or cloudy. But great for afternoon walks or sitting on the porch in the early evening.
Today is my sister's birthday. Happy Birthday and Happy Veteran's Day, thank you to all who serve and have served.
School is in session today, so I took an extended lunch break and we had quiche and cake and presents. I haven't given my mother a hug in months, but she let us get near to take a picture...crazy picture, but glad to have it.
Without a hair appt since March, my mother's white irish hair has reclaimed its hold! TT

Hi Badger! Great to hear from you. Congratulations on your retirement! Your husband's hobby of pie making sounds wonderful; but dangerous .... I could never stop at one piece if I had yummy homemade pies in the house.
TT, so glad you got to spend some time with your mom.
The temperature was 15 this morning, half the Wednesday Walking Women braved the great outdoors & the rest of us walked (in masks) in the Bubble at our fitness center. I did an hour long DVD of spot toning with Denise Austin this afternoon. Tonight my Book Club is meeting via Zoom. We were able to do in person, socially distanced, outdoor meetings through October but that will be off the table probably for the next 6 months. Boo Hoo! Thank goodness we do have ways to still be together.
Happy Veteran's Day to all Veterans and in all who are part of military families. If your loved one is serving, you are serving too.

Walked in the neighborhood park this afternoon. There's a circular path that's about 1/2 mile. I try to do three laps in 30 minutes with slower-paced walking there and back for warm-up and cool-down. The ND cold is coming brrr but it was still in the 40's and the sun was nice.
Ruth, this week's pie is banana cream. mmm

Hi Badger, welcome back and enjoy retirement. Karen, love your attitude. My dh is one of the oldest in his office and the young bucks always ask for his advice. He loves it! TT love the photo and your mom's mask is cool and all of you look great!
I'm out of here for a walk and afterwards then wrapping Christmas gifts to be send to the US, hopefully in the post tomorrow.

Good morning,
I saw the podiatrist to go over my MRI results of my foot. Turns out that I absolutely no question about it have a non-union fracture. My podiatrist is great, answered all my questions including the one where I said that I've had two kinds of cancers, and while I know bone mets in a metatarsal is very rare, the chance of that is still a number greater than zero. She paused and said you know I think it would make the most sense for you to see Dr. forgot his name, and forgot his specialty but he deals with all kinds of bone issues including cancer. She's going to get that referral going and she told me to be extremely clear on my history so he has a full picture.
That makes sense to me because otherwise on the face of it, this looks like it was a stress fracture and I have bad bones. Only my bones weren't that bad when I had my DEXA scan nearly two years ago. The actual values indicated osteopenia but nowhere near osteoporosis. I got that dx from my endocrinologist after my pelvis fractured.
As I told my podiatrist, --that-- fracture absolutely was from over training. I've mentioned before that I ran 6 races in about two months' time: three half marathons, a 5K, a 12K and a 10K. That last 10K I know it was broken, man that one hurt. So yes, that was a stress fracture.
But with my foot this year, that wasn't the case. I was training slowly, sanely, under the care of a running coach and a physical therapist. I had no warning, nothing, the bone just broke.
That's the history she wants me to make sure to share. I still hope/think this is just a non-union fracture and if I have to have surgery to repair it, then yikes but OK I will. But if it's not, then I need whatever it is to be addressed too.
I am beyond discouraged.

Power walked with weights this morning.

edj3, I'm so sorry to read of this and interested in hearing the referral - consult results and I know you are too. A true lesson in patience and acceptance no doubt about it.

I am so sorry edj. I am glad you are getting a referral and hopefully will get some clear answers.
I woke up this morning feeling like a had been run over by a truck & also have a little fever. So I basically slept all day and will get a Covid test tomorrow. I have been very careful, but it's all over the place here so think I need to either rule it in or out. Blah!

((edj3)) sorry to hear about your foot. Hopefully, Doctor forget-his-name the bone specialist can help. My left foot hasn't been the same since I overdid at a Relay for Life several years ago. Have had x-rays and doc says no fracture but dang sometimes it hurts.
((Ruth)) hugs 2u2. Blah, indeed!
Did my afternoon walk in the park. It was 50 degrees but overcast. The cold front rolls over us tonight so expecting it to be below freezing tomorrow. Time to pull out the silk long johns.
