Thanks for that feedback Claire. Good luck with your new computer, what a treat!
Yesterday was a pilates class and my Friday treat is a warm restorative class...given we are having a rainy day, that will be a treat.

My 9:00 class was cancelled so I have been sitting around in my pajamas all morning drinking coffee (actually, I have been very productive. I made appointments to get the ducts cleaned, the carpets cleaned, and scheduled our Moderna Booster shots!). This might be our last 60 degree day, so will definitely be doing some dog walking this afternoon.

I went yesterday to the gym to do my list of exercises. Wow, do I feel the squats today! I like it - reminds me how strong our bodies are. Walking today and maybe some weights later on for upper body. Rainy and yucky here, but the dog still needs a good walk 😀 TGIF everyone

My microwave is on the way out - door not shutting properly after 14 years. Don't want one quite as big but nothing tiny!
Gorgeous fall day today, but the weather is changing! Its currently 73 degrees!!!

Funny story - I was meeting with a 5th grade student on Thursday and he was telling me about his vacation and that it was for his grandfather's birthday - he goes to say that his grandfather is officially a senior citizen as he turned 65!!!
Gorgeous fall day today - sat outside reading this afternoon. The weather is changing tomorrow and all week to cold, damp and rainy. I'm covering a school on Thursday through January for a maternity leave. I have playground duty before school for 35 minutes and 60 minutes at lunch. I told the AP the other day that when it gets really cold, I'll be wearing my snow pants and heavy coat....she laughed. I walk around the playground but I still get cold!!!

Wow Karen, that is all hands on deck for the school psychologist to have playground duty! Also funny re the 65 and official senior citizen...having just turned 60 and contemplating retirement (met with financial advisor on Friday and she said DO IT!) I am teetering between thinking I am still prime work age and then wanting to retire "young"
Yesterday was chores and shopping, running around town...my only day off from going to the gym. Sunday is a lovely, but vigorous, candlelight vinyasa...so much nicer now that the sun is going down earlier and can enjoy the candles, class at 5pm.
Happy last week before we change the clocks, it always feels so much colder when it is also dark! TT

Back from my travels. Anyway, the 2-day retreat was a huge success and we got done what we set out to do. On my end, the list of things I need to do prior to leaving the nonprofit is now finite. I am calling this a victory. All the prep work paid off.
So did dropping off the projector screen last night. I also picked up my computer which I have nearly set up! So wonderful to have the processing horsepower and speed I need. Lightning fast. No more pouring myself a cup of tea while something loads. No more locking up.
Not that much exercise, though I did insist on taking a couple of walks. My big exercise was keeping it zipped. Especially with copious amounts of wine. Drove up to get a glimpse of Mount Rainier in all its glory.
In addition to the handoff, I have a couple of projects to work on this week. One is finally getting underway; the other is resuming. I needed the processing speed of my new computer to sensibly finish the second. Not to mention the best keyboard I have ever used.
Two more months. I can do this!!! Can't wait to start the next great life adventure. Most of all, I am thankful to have the robust good health and wherewithal to get there.
Thinking about a nice hot bath next...... - Claire

Claire, you should be very proud of yourself. You have worked very hard for both your professional successes and your good health!
Bruno woke up with his face all puffy and eyes almost swollen shut. He must have gotten into something yesterday on a hike he and DH took. This happened once before so we gave him some Benadryl and have laid low today. He's breathing fine, eating etc. and I think looks a little better. We'll see what tomorrow brings. I went to Yoga and danced to Marshall Fitness songs on Utube for about 45 minutes.
Happy Halloween! (I am getting the rest of my exercise running up & down the steps answering the doorbell for Trick-or-treaters.)

Went to Pound, got my Moderna booster, and then raked for two hours (safe to say that I did not have any adverse reactions to the shot!). Bruno is back to normal, so I am glad about that!.

Ruth: Is Bruno better today? That's scary.
Hi Everyone. Last week dh and I went to the NC mountains for 2 nights. We hiked the loop trail on Stone Mountain State Park on a perfect fall day. The next day we drove on the Blue Ridge Parkway. It started raining and we were in and out of clouds. Stopped at the Blue Ridge Music Center in Virginia to listen to bluegrass and go through the museum. We rented a little one room cabin in the woods with a fabulous view. The rain and wind picked up and I got spooked thinking a tree was going to fall on the cabin! Even slept in my clothes! Luckily only one large limb fall on it.
We have been having gorgeous fall weather the last couple of days. I've been walking/running and just soaking up the cool weather. Handed out candy last night to trick-or-treaters.
This is a 600 foot stone granite dome.

Wonderland, what beautiful scenery. I had never heard of Stone Mountain State Park. What an awesome place to hike. Looks like a great time.

Claire - I am excited for you to wrap up your work and move to Idaho. It sounds perfect! I am researching for places to retire, but also waiting to see where my daughter gets a job after graduation. I would love to live in the same time zone as her or within a short plane ride.
Wonderland - I have been wanting to go to Stone Mountain after someone mentioned it a while back. So nice you could pick some nice weather and go.
Ruth - so glad Bruno is okay! Love your pictures!
I have been walking a lot with this nice weather. Also some weight lifting at the gym - not too heavy though. Ever since the long break from the gym during Covid, I have not gotten back to where I was with the amount of weight I can lift. Started back to the gym in May and progress is very slow. I'll take it, though.

I had an IEP meeting today at the school I"m finishing up coverage, this sped teacher is a bit ditzy but cares about the kiddos - after the meeting she came to my office to tell me and the new School Psych it was the best IEP meetings that she has ever had and on my way out at end of day, she thanked me for all my help!! Finished up my coverage at that school today - the young new SP will be good - she is a go getter - even after the "dear in the headlights" look this morning when I was trying to show her stuff. Sweet kid.
We went for a walk after dinner and it started raining - I had my big long down coat on and it is soaked!! We did our normal 25 minute walk. at lunch I walked for 10 minutes but it was only drizzling. I'm sure the neighbors are going "look at the "Ss" - there they go again, crazy people walk in all types of weather!
Going to see our Toronto kids for a long week-end in a few weeks. DH was able to use mileage points to "buy" the tickets - he tried in the morning yesterday but didn't act on it and it the afternoon they were gone. Then by chance he tried again this morning and seats were available. I will take one day comp time from the summer and leave a little early the day we leave. Now we have to book tickets to see DD#2. DH doesn't have enough points for tickets, I do for 1 1/2 tickets (points on cc) so would have to pay cash for the balance which is about 1/2 the price of a ticket, but DH doesn't like the flights. Will wait and see.
Not much else to report. Stay safe, warm and healthy.

It was 19 degrees this morning; but sunny and clear. Only two of us Wednesday Walking Women braved the great outdoors, the others walked inside.

Been away for my lovely step-daughter's wedding, which was FABULOUS! My balance issues were much better (maybe it was lack of vacation and I could have skipped the brain MRI and just taken more vacation???) and I was able to not only participate in the procession IN HEELS but I also (changed into flats) danced a LOT, and the day after walked 8 miles around Baltimore
Then on for a couple nights at the Jersey shore, and managed 5 miles on the sand and another 3 miles, but then the next day had quite the blister on my heel and did not get my morning beach walk in before we had to pack up and come home -- to snow 
Today I did my group Zoom erg session for just under 5,000 meters, and in the morning I have my weight training at 5:30. Yes, I am voluntarily waking up at 5 on a vacation day! Have some errands to run after PT tomorrow, then a massive house cleaning is needed and I guess it is time to change out my wardrobe. I hope everyone is well! Love the dog photos

Today I plugged in the Wii and did Just Dance for 30 minutes - I forgot how fun it is! My teenagers rolled their eyes at me. Maybe they'll join me one of these days like they used to....also hit the gym this afternoon and lifted weights and used a climbing machine for 20 minutes. Leaving tomorrow for a weekend trip to Las Vegas. I'm sure my steps will be close to 20K a day! Hope everyone is well.

Ruth - so far temps haven't gotten much colder than freezing. Your friend is all bundled up and you look like, gee, maybe I need to take my coat off!!! Today it was 73, gorgeous blue Colorado ski. Think its supposed to be nice all week-end.

Yeslama, the wedding sounds wonderful. And a vacation is always a good prescription!!
Juju, dancing is also a great prescription for good physical AND mental health!
Well, I have had an awful day. It started fine with a fun Pound class and I was in the middle of some house cleaning when DH called. He & Bruno had been on a trail walk (Bruno is typically very good about staying by DH and no one else was around, so he was off leash). Well, Bruno got spooked, took off like a bat-out-of-hell, and hasn't been seen since. Since 11am until now, we have retraced & retraced & retraced the path, scoured the neighborhoods in that area, checked out other favorite walking places, DH & a friend walked the path in the dark with flashlights looking for glowing eyes (in case he is hurt). We called the Pound, Humane Society, local vets, put his picture & information on three local Facebook pages (two devoted to finding lost pets & one a supporting the local community site). I have 22,000 steps mostly gotten from looking for a dog, and so far to no avail. We finally had to call it a day, but will go back out again first thing tomorrow morning...unless someone finds him & calls us first. He was wearing his collar with all his information. I feel just sick......

RUTH! OH NO! BRUNO! Please keep us informed. I know you know this but you need to hear it again. You most definitely have done everything you can. Posting his picture and information on those FB pages really do make a difference. I know you feel awful and I would also.
Let us know how tomorrow goes with the search.

Oh Ruth! I am so sorry to hear this. My mom’s dog ran off a few years back and it was one of the worst nights of my life since I was the one walking him at the time and it was below freezing outside. (He backed out of his collar.) Fortunately he showed up at her house the next morning and she still has him. I so hope that Bruno makes his way back to you. 💙0

Ruth, praying that Bruno is found safely.

Oh, Ruth! That is awful and I'm so sorry! I am also out here praying for a safe return, sooner rather than later. *virtual hugs*

I hope that your pup is back home with you today!

I am so thankful to report that he has been found! More later. We are taking him to the vet before going home as he has either a sprain or broken bone in his front paw.

So glad you found him!!0

I am so glad Bruno is found, and so sorry about the paw!

Ruth - So glad your dear Bruno was found! Hope the paw injury is minor. I so enjoy your photos of him!
