Well...went to yoga last night and returned to find my car had been broken into during the class...passenger side window smashed in, pocketbook that was stashed under seat gone...ugh, I am currently in the downward swirl of police reports, cancelling cards, etc. etc. Today is the start of my holiday recess, not what I had planned on doing...also makes me not so enthusiastic to return to yoga studio...but I will have to get over that! Not sure if it is the holidays or what but it will take until Thursday NEXT week for the glass shop to get the correct window for my car -- a very average prius!

Oh No! I am so sorry, TT. How maddening, frustrating, and discouraging!
Very cold here. Went to Zumba and grocery shopping....which is like taking your life into your own hands as the streets are like ice skating rinks.

TT: Oh no! I'm so sorry this happened to you! It happened to my sister also. She was in a parking lot at a park. And another friend in Florida just had the same thing happen to her. Again, I'm so sorry.
Walked/ran this afternoon.

Ruth: How much snow do you have and are you and family ok?

I think we got about 20 inches with 6 more expected Wednesday/Thursday (plus wind so that will be 'fun'). Yes, we are okay except for being very crabby!

Went out in the cold to Pound this morning, will go to Zumba. My Book Club meets tonight. More snow is predicted for tomorrow. Here is a Holiday Poem that I can relate to!

Oh Ruth, that is Soooo True!
Well I was brave and went back to the yoga studio yesterday...didn't like being the center of attention, but that will blow over.
Made a pot of turkey soup in part last night (the boiling of the bones) and then the second half this morning...currently simmering on stove. Turkey, barley, carrots and celery. This will be our dinner and lighter fare to balance some of the richer items the next few days...will also keep my mom in some healthy food when times get rushed. Had frozen the last of the Thanksgiving turkey just for this.
I'm off to TaiChi in an hour.
If the auto glass gods are kind, I may have my car back with a passenger side window in it today...which I am really hoping for as bad weather (rain not snow) is coming in the overnight for 36 hrs of rain with gale force wind. Sorry Ruth you have had the same with the additional insult of the cold so it was snow/blizzard for you. TT

Glad you went back to class,TT. Fingers crossed that your car gets done today. The Wednesday Women were able to get our walk and Ugly Sweater Christmas breakfast in before it started snowing again. I may or may not go to Pound this afternoon depending on what the weather is doing.

TT: Hope you get your window replaced in time for the rain and wind!
Ruth: Great picture. Those ugly sweaters, though.......jk
Rain starts here in the middle of the night. Then cold temperatures arrive on Friday. Did my Christmas grocery shopping today to try to stay away from everyone else.
Walked/ran early this afternoon.

Pound this morning. I am off to Dance2fit soon. We are supposed to dress in holiday attire and all our songs are 'Christmas' songs. It is very, very cold and in a blizzard warning (no new snow, but we have is blowing around like crazy). It's 'okay' driving around in town, but very dangerous in the open country.

Merry Christmas to all who are celebrating.
I did get my window replaced on Wednesday, yeah!
The cold came here yesterday...yesterday we had a high of 58 before the front came through bringing the overnight low to 9...we stay below freezing for several days. Dripped our faucets inside and out last night.
Had a evening yoga class last night, no more classes until after Christmas.
Take care everyone, stay safe, TT

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah and Happy Solstice!
A timely food safety message for all the holidays:
We've been having wacky weather as most of us have -- first something like 22" of the heaviest wettest concrete-like snow last weekend, with a 4 day power outage last weekend, followed by yesterday's torrential rains and high winds and then flash freeze. Fortunately this time our power did not go out for long.
Now going to hunker down and watch the Muppet Christmas movie. Stay safe everyone!

TT: Happy you got your window replaced just in time for the cold weather.
YesIAm: 4 Day Power Outage!?!?!?! Oh my goodness. And I was nervous with our 3 hour outage - it was freezing cold outside but nothing like you had. I can't imagine what all you had to do to get through it. Hope you have a generator!
On Christmas Eve I prepared and helped serve food at our church to anyone who would like to eat. Luckily the Fellowship Hall stayed open for people to stay warm during the day. Another church was staying open and providing cots for people to stay the night. All of our food was served bc a lady who routinely checks up on people living in tents came to the church and we packed takeout lunches for her to deliver to them. It was too cold to get out of sleeping bags and tents to come to the church. Very thankful for her!
We had a low key Christmas which was so nice. Ds, dd, and sil came over. We opened presents and then cooked brunch - eggs, hashbrown casserole, sausage gravy, pancakes. Later we had margaritas and turkey sandwiches with leftover turkey from another meal. I feel like I have done nothing but eat!
Walked in the house today.

Hope everyone has survived the Holidays! We had a very nice time despite the rotten weather. I did a little indoor walking & some toning between all the eating. After today, I am throwing any unhealthy food that is still leftover out (think potatoes, dressing gravy)!! I did get up and go to Pound this morning & will go to Zumba tonight. I need to chisel off the holiday pounds before mu body gets too used to them!

Love the picture, Ruth!
I haven't been doing much. Brought one of the cats to the vet for routine shots and check up today. The appointment was for yesterday but she took one look at the cat carrier and hid in a new place I don't know about. I couldn't find her so had to reschedule.
Did some housecleaning. Walked/ran yesterday and today.

Great picture Ruth!
We have finally crawled out of the frost, but with the holidays each day another one of my exercise classes is cancelled...blah. I am very happy for the instructors to take the time, but also very much want to keep my routine going. With school closed, I really look forward to being able to do more exercise rather than less, so now that we are back to the 50's I guess it is walking for me!

I slept in this morning but will go to Dance2fit and Yoga tonight.

Walked/ran today. It was 62 degrees and felt great. Only had to wear a long sleeve shirt.
Ruth: Have you started dress shopping yet?
0 -
I'm in the look at websites and order color swatches phase. Wonderland, remind me again where you got your dress.
I did a bunch of errands & had coffee with a friend this morning. A dog walk & maybe a toning DVD this afternoon.

I ordered my dress online from Kay Unger. The dresses are beautiful. Wish I had another occasion to wear a fancy dress bc I definitely would order another one.
Only formal exercise today was walking in the house. Then met dd and sil for dinner and undid any good!

oh what a year it has been! A short hospitalization, a surgery, a secondary procedure all of which kept me from excellent for a few weeks…. But I still managed to reach my goals! Onward and an upward in the new year.
This year I biked 2841.8 miles, rowed 791.6 miles, walked 153.7 miles and did a small smattering of running, swimming, strength, and elliptical

Excellent, notascalm! Hopefully 2023 is a year of perfect health for us all!
I went to Yoga Strength this morning and will do some sort of cardio later today.
0 -
notascalm: Impressive! Surgery, hospitalization and you still met your goal. WTG!
Ruth: Hope you were able to get your cardio done today.
I visited a friend this morning and then packed up most of my Christmas decorations. Still have a few but the majority packed away next year.
In 10 minutes a New Year begins. Happy New Year to All my BCO friends! You mean the world to me and I wish you the best!

Happy 2023 to us All!
I did a little cardio dancing to Marshall Fitness yesterday afternoon. DS, finace, their 3 dogs, the dog they are babysitting & the tiny puppy they are fostering came over for dinner last night (very simple, I threw a frozen lasagna in the oven, opened up a bag of pre-made salad & warmed up some bread-sticks). They had ordered their wedding invitations on Black Friday (when there was good sales....they won't actually go out until spring), so we looked at them, mother-of-bride/groom dress color swatches, different bouquet combinations she had found on the internet, and also played Scatergories. So it was a fun evening. They left before 10 & we managed to stay awake until midnight. Today we are invited to a New Years Day Open House. I need to do some abs & a little cardio at some point. Tomorrow I better start a post-holiday diet!!!

I went to Zumba this morning. Did errands, made dinner for some friends, had a friend & her dog over for a playdate & am now sitting down doing nothing (leftovers for supper).

Happy New Year everyone.
Went to yoga last night, but today spent most of the day trying to get my mother into a doctor appointment for a UTI that developed over the weekend...5 hours in an online waiting room until their day timed out! What a waste of a day and no closer to an Rx!
Currently I am sitting outside on our patio (with a small heater) drinking champagne. Currently 57, but today we hit 67 for one brief instant...after the 9 degrees of last week it is totally glorious.
After the cold of last week our 20 year old F150 needed a battery boost, so I did get that done today (a trickle charge) while in the waiting room and then took it for a nice ride at sunset. A beautiful red sky sunset.
Take care everyone, TT

TT: Hope your mom can get an appointment asap! UTIs are badddd. Your drive sounds lovely! I'm enjoying the warmer weather also.
Ruth: Glad Bruno had a playmate today.
Walked/ran late this afternoon.

TT, keep on the medical people, UTIs can morph into really bad things. Do you have an urgent care she could go to if she can't get in tomorrow?
Here's Bruno & his buddy, Otis, having a fun snow day!
