    Gym Sunday night and today at lunchtime…good start to the week. I should get in 5x at gym this week…that really works so much better for me than only 2x that I got last week.

    Yeah!!! on the new baby granddaughter, woohoo.

    Don't even get me started on the weather🤣

    Ruth: The weather has been very disturbing. I watch the ABC Nightly News with David Muir. The majority of the time the opening story is weather related - fires, floods, tornadoes, etc. Tonight it was about the fire in Nevada. And global warming is a hoax. The biggest hoax, a con job. Righhttt.

    M0mmy: Hope your furbabies didn't claw you. It's a hard job.

    I volunteered at the clothes closet this afternoon. Right before closing time a huge donation of 4 large leaf collecting trash bags and 2 large garbage can trash bags arrived. We briefly looked through them and will empty the bags next week. There was a brand new backpack with tags (that's like winning the lottery) and fly fishing waders in one of them. You never know what you're going to find and can't wait to see what else is in the bags.

    Walked this evening. One more day of decent weather before it gets muggy again.

    This weekend I decided to paint one of my pumpkins for dd. It represents her growing family. I rinsed it off 3 times before deciding to keep it as it is.

    Beautiful pumpkin!!

    We will be off for a dog walk soon, Core tonight. In between, I have a hair appointment & have to get organized because I am hosting WWW for breakfast in my backyard tomorrow morning after the walk. People are very bad about RSVPing; which is very bad when you are trying to plan anything!!! Either I will run out of food or have leftovers coming out of my ears!

    TT: Hope nothing stops you from getting to the gym 5 times this week.

    M0mmy: I have never trimmed any of my cats' nails. I would be too nervous to do it.

    Ruth: Good luck with your WWW breakfast tomorrow!

    Walked this evening.

    Beautiful pumpkin, love the symbols of the growing hearts.

    Have got to the gym 3x so far and will go today at lunch…so on track for 5x this week.

    So sad about Dolly Parton, what a beautiful soul. TT

    Fabulous WWW picture! Hope your breakfast went well. Looks like a beautiful day.

    TT: You might get to the gym more than 5x this week.

    Short walk this evening. Temperatures are staying in the mid to upper 80s but dew points and humidity are up again and will be for quite a while according to the weather forecasters. 90s return next week. Oh well. I enjoyed the last 2 days.

    Dance2fit, where our teacher put together a dance for Dolly Parton's "9 to 5", and our cool down was to her song "Light of a Clear Blue Morning". She wrote it in 1977, but put together a new version this January to raise money for pediatric cancer research. I stayed for yoga where we celebrated the lunar eclipse with a move called 'Moonflowers'.

    Fun fact about the song 9 to 5, the typewriter like sound in the song was actually Dolly rubbing her nails together.

    Got to the gym last night to make 5x this week. That will be it for this week as my normal gym time today will be spent in church at my Tai Chi instructor's funeral…so I will be with my gym friends (we agreed to save a pew whoever gets there first so we can all sit together) but for a very different reason.

    Nice WWW picture, 14 years…that's over 700 walks!

    Thinking of you today, TT. 💓

    Mat Pilates & a dog walk today. We're going to the high school's opening football game tonight & will walk to the stadium (about 10 blocks) & home again.

    lol on the picture, Ruth!

    Walked yesterday and today. Dh and I met another couple for supper tonight at my favorite restaurant. We had a private room so it's not noisy.

    Ruth, love the pic. It reminds me of when I was in college and some students even thought showing up was optional. In one class, the instructor went off on a student because she and her friend kept chatting while he was doing his job! He told them to either show up the next class prepared to learn something or to drop his class because they weren't giving their parents thier money's worth in paying tuition for them to attend.

    Love the "due dates" picture…have shared that with my team!

    Got to the gym Sunday evening and today at lunch - strength and core…got to keep just this side of getting too sweaty so I can go back to work without taking a shower.

    Heading into a hot 4-5 days here in SE Virginia - heat in mid 90's, heat index in 100's…welcome September!

    Went to the gym last night (Tuesday) and to Tai Chi today at lunchtime…but had a coughing fit 5 minutes into class and had to leave. I have been nursing a raw throat and knew if I went back in after getting myself together, that the controlled breathing would snag me up again…so I don't think today counts as getting exercise!😀

    Allergies, TT?

    I have been at several all faculty gatherings that were half social but very loud (due to being held indoors because of the heat) and talking was like screaming. Put that on top of teaching/talking for hours a day…my throat is gone…

    HIT, Dance2fit, dog walking

    Got to the gym on Thursday evening, makes 4x this week (that I am counting)…got through class without a coughing fit…but there is some seasonal stuff going around town.

    The Governor of Virginia gave us all an extra half day off for Labor Day, so school closed at noon today, woohoo. It is so miserably hot/humid here but the rain starts tomorrow to start to cool things off a bit for a few days.

    Stay safe everyone on this holiday weekend, TT

    Mat Pilates & got my 10,000 steps just doing random 'stuff'.

    It seems that you have a nice governor, TT. I am sure that extra half day is much appreciated by all!

    TT: Glad your throat is feeling better. That's amazing you got an extra half day for this weekend.

    Ruth: Nice WWW picture.

    Haven't done much this week due to the heat. It's awful. My sisters visited on Tuesday. On Friday I met with friends to play Mah Jong. I even won a game. The heat is draining. Had a strong storm this afternoon that cooled things down. Thank goodness. I'll be able to walk outside this coming week.

    I took a couple walks today, and went to a college football game. It was so hot & airless in the stadium that we left at halftime (our team was already behind 17-0). When I got home I had to strip off every piece of clothes because they were drenched with sweat. Yuck!!

  • wonderland

    Ruth: I don't blame you for leaving the game early. Hot and airless has been what we have been experiencing.

    I walked this afternoon. It's cooler compared to last week bc it stormed earlier today but still humid and high dew point. Took it easy.
