Everything is covered with a sheet of ice & we have a blizzard warning until noon. My morning class was canceled & we'll see about Barre Sculpt at 4:30. I am soon going downstairs to do an indoor walking DVD. Mother Nature seems to be in a particularly bad mood this year!

LOL, Ruth! That is so cute!

Lazy day with no exercise yesterday. Most of Monday classes I take were a scheduling conflict with mammo & Breast Surgeon visit. Happy to report that mammo was all clear and now a 5-year survivor. MO appointment is 2/23, and am anticipating going off AIs.
Back to exercise today. Yoga, Barre/Pilates mix, Bodyweight Boot Camp (HIIT) and Zumba Gold to round out this afternoon. Looking forward to putting on my dancing shoes for Zumba Gold!

My birthday is in a week, but I have a case of the blahs. Something about adding two storage cubes to the 6 that had gone together perfectly. A major exercise in frustration. Hours and hours, and I finally decided that my next stop is the hardware store to glue the plastic connectors on. This should solve the problem.
Oh my. So, no other exercise today other that a lot of stretching and cursing.
Yesterday, I got the office shelves set up, no small feat as they weigh close to 100 lb. It went just fine, though I substituted cut tacks for those miserable screws. Otherwise, I would still be hammering those 49 suckers. I need to investigate my desk and also get help to set up my new dining table. I know that I can't do that one by myself.
Still loving my new place which feels a lot more like a small house than an apartment.
Need to check on dinner as relatively late. Have a report addendum due in 2 days so need to be on my game tomorrow. An exercise in finding a few nuggets amongst data where there is very little news. But think I have found enough
Now to showcase these nuggets so that I am finished.....as well as getting paid. - Claire

Claire, since BC I don’t get excited about my birthday till the day. Yes, I’m thrilled to be growing older but the year I was Dx I was so looking forward to my birthday and I had chemo 4 days before. So just not wanting to be disappointed. I’m sure by your big day you’ll be celebrating.
16 years ago today I had my first round of biopsies. I knew when I left the answer as when I commented to doctor doing biopsy I didn’t know how I would tell my daughter who just went back to second semester university. The doctor responded you’ll have to tell her. The next day 02/03 I heard those dreaded words. In kind of a funk today.
❄️❄️❄️Snow day today❄️❄️❄️ District called it by 7:30 last night and we were one of the last ones. About 12” by my house. High only going to be 16F and 7 below tonight. DIA is the official weather station and they barely got 3” so that is what is being recorded snow amount.

Claire, moving (even when you are excited about it) is an unsettling time. Especially when you are trying to get things done & things don't go as planned. Happy Birthday anyway!
Karen, I don't KNOW the exact day of my diagnosis, surgeries etc. I have all my files so could look and find out in less then a minute, but it freaks me out too much and I just can't do it. Strange tricks our minds play.
Since it rained Monday night and then got dangerously cold, our roads and sidewalks are sheets of ice. Nothing is going to melt soon. There is going to be the coldest temperatures here tonight than there has in decades. Minus 30 air temperature & 50 below windchills.....absolutely wretched.
The Wednesday Women walked this morning & I am going to Dance2fit tonight.

Sweet 16! 02/03/06 I heard those dreaded words and my life changed forever. My DH found BCO soon after and it was my lifeline through chemo and radiation.
Sun zero temperatures this morning but the snow stopped last night.
Working from home today. 4 zoom meetings and in between paperwork and finish reading for my team’s book study.
Stay safe and stay warm. And inside!

12 degrees on Sunday, 65 today! ...back to mid 20's for lows this weekend...in a normal year I would call this cold and flu season at school -- remember that quaint time...
I've been sticking to my 6 days a week schedule at the gym, gratefully the snow/ice has not closed us down. I don't teach on Friday so today(Thursday) is my "Friday"...off to teach my first class but already ready for the weekend...after the 10 hr day ahead of me now.
Happy Thursday/Friday everyone. TT
Our "big" snow on Sunday...but when you look the other way...you see what it really was:

TT - Thursday is also my Friday. I work M-Th. I'm covering one school now 3 days and helping with assessments at another school so I'm out of the house all 4 days. It was nice to work at home today though.
It got up to 21 today after minus 11 last night. Tonight minus 6 for low but supposed to get to 40 by mid afternoon. Not sure of the long range forecast.
Going to bundle up to walk with DH - put my snow pants on with heavy parka. I walked at lunch and it was nice but by 4:30 it was getting cold again.
DD#2 called this afternoon and we chatted for over an hour - it was so nice. We usually don't get to talk so long. Lots of topics. She usually calls early Friday morning, which is afternoon for her, but she didn't know if she would have time tomorrow.
Stay warm and stay safe.

Karen, congratulations on #16. The further out the better!
Weather here is bitterly cold, with roads & sidewalks covered with sheets of ice. But it sounds like it is awful just about everywhere so I guess we are all in the same boat. I went to Pound this morning & Zumba tonight.

10,000 steps in this morning, bike ride latter, then maybe a swim. It is 80 degrees here in south west florida. Feeling good

80 degrees, lucky you! The news is on right now & a truck filled with beets tipped over on a road in Minnesota. The beets (which were large) froze to the road like rocks & have caused a number of accidents. Geez, explain to your insurance company that your car was damaged because you ran over a beet!
Shift & Lift this morning, I will probably do an indoor walking DVD this afternoon.

Beetageddon...sorry, I couldn't help it that is too much! Beets frozen to the roadway up north and frozen iguanas falling out of the tree in Florida. What a crazy mixed up weather world we are in right now!
Today it is 70 in SE Virginia, tomorrow 40.
Had a nice yin yoga class at lunchtime...but it was painful, guess I needed the deep stretching.

Happy 16 years, Karen! Here’s to many more.
This week Thursday was my Friday as we got an ice storm today which closed schools. I have been incredibly lazy catching up on watching some shows and reading and haven’t gotten many steps in at all. Today is DD #1’s 30th birthday but celebrating will have to wait till tomorrow when the storm passes. We are expecting temps around zero tomorrow night. Brrr. 80’s sound amazing

Hey, peeps! Welcome to you new folx.
I haven't been on for a month, so I tried to read back and catch up a bit, and Karen, I'm so sorry to hear about your friend and her son, and I am thinking of you on this Saturday morning, and am wondering whether -- in time -- you might find or create a new ritual for your Saturday mornings. May your friends' memory be a blessing.
As for me, well, it's been a busy month! I had gone back to working just before the holidays and then the company was shut down for three weeks due to Covid, and then we went back two weeks into January. Then my kid got Covid while staying with his father. Then in the span of a week, he got a concussion (a bigger kid was grandstanding in basketball practice, didn't look where he was going, and took my son out -- poor kiddo's head hit the floor), my husband went to the ER with his first kidney stone, and I had an anaphylactic reaction (to a paw-paw), and ended up in the ER during a blizzard for that along with acute coronary syndrome. And then I went back to work the next day and found out my temp job was ending but that I could start a new one with a different department in the same room, maybe even at my same desk! I start my new job on Tuesday!
Meanwhile, my Livestrong program ended and I thought I was gonna start using my bike and rowing machine in the attic to do aerobic workouts...but we got a text from a neighbor saying that her son (who used to be very close with my son in spite of being four years older) was not feeling safe in their house and could he please stay with us that night. I said of course and he stayed in a nook we have in the attic that's made up like a guest bedroom. After that first night I sat down with her to see what was up, and found she didn't have any plan at all to get his dad out of the house so that he would be safe there, and he's been staying with us ever since! But because I want him to have his own, private space, I'm avoiding using the attic.
So, I need to figure out how to get my aerobics in. That said, I'm still working out! In addition to the everyday yoga I've been doing (I did all 30 days of YWA's "Move" and decided to keep going and repeat the series), and the twice-weekly Pilates reformer classes, I've signed up for rhythmic gymnastics classes on Wednesday nights. I've had two and I suck, but they are so much fun! I did the first two remotely but I am going to try to go in person on Wednesday night. The first night we practiced with the rope and the ball, and the second we practiced rope and ribbon. My ribbon got all tangled around me, and around my ceiling fan, which is just the impetus I needed to finally get rid of that thing! I haven't asked my back to do anything like this in years, and it's definitely a core strength challenge. But I figured it would be better to start with something low-impact like this before I get all crazy and try dance classes or regular gymnastics again.
Anyway, I am thinking of you all and hope you have safe and positive weekends!

Oh my Saltmarsh, you really have had quite a month! I hope things are settling down. Thank you for helping out your neighbor's son.
PiYo this morning & busy the whole rest of the day.

Ginger-happy 30th to DD#1
Saltmarsh- what a scary month. Hope everyone is safe and healthy now.
Watching the Olympic opening ceremonies. I like watching the parade of countries. I don’t watch many of the events. My late mother lived the figure skating.
DH started yesterday with a sore throat and then headache and then overall feeling lousy. He's eating in the kitchen, me in dining room, he's in DD#2 room, using the hall bathroom and hanging out in his office/man cave. He will test at home tomorrow. If the antigen is negative, he will get PCR Monday morning. If he tests positive, I'll get PCR Monday morning. So far I'm feeling okay. The place he went this week was to the store on Monday. I was in school building Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday was snow day and Thursday I worked from home. How the heck did he get Covid (most likely) and me not (so far) unless I'm asymptomatic. I sure hope our son doesn't get sick.
Everyone stay safe and healthy.0 -
Yikes Karen, report back on the Covid situation. So frustrating!
Here's a picture of Bruno & I playing in the backyard with our neighbor & her dog. I also went to yoga.

It was sunny, calm & a balmy 39 degrees. I went to Pound this morning & hiking through the snow with dogs this afternoon.

Gorgeous day today - 50 and sunny. It should be nice most of the week. DH and I didn't walk tonight after dinner - I'm tired and he's just finally feeling better, but I did make my minimum daily steps goal. We did walk when I got home from work, which I try to do to decompress from the work day.
Ruth - love the photo of the pups and the two of you in red coats. DH is feeling better today. He went early this morning for his PCR and is waiting on results. He should have them tomorrow. If he is positive, I'll home test, but so far I"m not having any symptoms, thankfully! I'm tired, but that's because I don't sleep well.
I finally got my 10 year pin - only 2.5 years late!!! I've been with the district since 2009. Not sure if I'll get to 15 years....14 yes but 15 is iffy. DD#2 has 3 more years to go till she graduates, but I don't know if I can last 3 years. Mondays are getting harder, since winter break. There is time to tell. February 1st is the deadline each year to get a bonus if you tell the district you are retiring the end of the school year. But it's one year at a time. I don't feel old till I realize that I graduated with my BA and MS before many of my co-workers were born - never mind that my two older kids are older than the younger co-workers and this years intern cohort is only a year old than my youngest. I'm not getting older, it's just that the newbies are getting younger and younger!!
Sweet dreams. Stay safe and stay healthy.

No posts today. Sure hope everyone is well and just busy.
Husband’s PCR came back negative so no Covid😃. Not sure what virus but he is feeling better.
Continued nice weather. Enjoyed 25 minute walk at lunch. Then walked with DH when I got home and again after dinner.
Sweet dreams. Stay safe and stay healthy

Glad the Covid test came back negative, Karen!
I had a haircut this morning, met a friend for lunch, chopped ice off the driveway, and went to Barre Sculpt & Zumba. The temperature was still nice but the wind was howling.....the forecast is for 'unsettled weather'......yikes, here we go again!

unsettled weather doesn’t sound vet settling Ruth. Stay safe and stay warm. Our weather has been nice. It will changed before long. It’s winter in the Rockies!
Have a great We

Karen: thank goodness for your dh's negative test!
saltmarsh: you have really been through it. That's very kind of you to take in your neighbor's son.
Ruth: Best WWW picture yet!
Hi Everyone. My dd tested positive for Covid the Sunday before last. Couldn't believe it! She works at our local health department and is most definitely vaxed and boosted. Thank goodness she is! Had to isolate for a week. Had a low grade fever for a couple of days, some congestion, some cough, very tired, lost her taste and smell. Her main problem was the fatigue. All has improved and she's back to normal. I met her tonight for a 35 minute walk.
My unvaccinated 78 year old bil (he and my sister live in another town) didn't fare so well when he got covid about the same time dd did. He had to go to the hospital twice. He developed symptoms first and a day later my vaccinated sister developed symptoms. She was very sick for a few days but improved. The first time my bil was in the hospital (my sister had to call 911) he was given O2 and only stayed 12 hours or so. Home health set him up with an O2 tank. His breathing and overall health worsen within a few days after returning home and my sister had to call 911 again. This time he stayed in the hospital for a week. He's home now and improving. Unfortunately I don't think he'll get vaccinated. He has his "researched" reasons why he won't. I think he was very lucky this time. There is no reasoning with him.
This exact story is being told every day. Vaccinated people can get covid but will have milder symptoms and more than likely not be admitted to the hospital. NOT the same for unvaccinated people. I just don't know what part of this story my bil doesn't understand.
I've been walking/running regularly. Tomorrow and Saturday the high will be 67 degrees. It will feel springlike!

I am being driven crazy by the non-vaccinated as they are screwing it up for us all. GRRRR! My N.C. sister is one of them, so who knows when we will ever see her again. It makes me so sad.
I went to Pound this morning, Barre Sculpt & Dance2fit tonight. I tripled up because I don't think I will have time for formal exercise tomorrow & maybe not Saturday either. I'm now watching the Olympics and listening to the wind blow!

mask mandates in the schools end in 2 weeks. They are going to be strongly encouraged but we know that means zero!!' Not happy about it.
Off to the shower, then going to donate blood. Have a great Friday.
It’s now Friday evening- a brief update. Snow and cold by me. Supposed to get anywhere from 2" to 5". We need the moisture to have water this summer. Have a good weekend

Very, very cold here & icy too. After 5 tries, I finally found a jacket that fits Bruno (with his short hair, he gets cold pretty fast). He is quite humiliated to have to wear it, but I think he looks sporty! I cleaned the whole house & danced with Marshall Fitness on utube last night to finish off my steps. I'll maybe do an indoor walking DVD today.
