I made it to my once a week spinning class this morning and got 17 miles in. After class I had to pick up books at two different libraries and stopped at school to drop off some materials and pick up more to work on at home.
I am really liking this four day work week. I sure put in my time but it's been fun. It feels great having the creative juices flowing again. I have to laugh though. Some of you might remember I was havingsudden discomfort in my hip earlier this month. I figured out it was from sitting criss cross applesauce again after all these years. I think the hip is making the adjustment gradually.
I won a package deal for two in our capital city next weekend including pro sport tickets and a stay at a really nice hotel across the street from the venue. I just found out about it. We are sending the grandkids to stay at my sister's house and hubby and I are making it a birthday celebration for me. This is the first weekend just the two of us in like a zillion years. Life is good!
We are having a cycling training group reunion ride tomorrow morning. I think we are doing around 30+ miles with lunch stop mid trip. I just love riding those county roads surrounded by all the windmills on a sunny day.
Speaking of cycling, DH and I took a day off yesterday (a day off retirement, of course). We drove to Peru, Indiana, about 2 hours away to take advantage of stunning weather here. We had lunch in a cafe with vegan options (jackfruit curry with macaroni/tease as the side); it was so yummy that we stopped after the ride for a to-go bowl of mango-vegetable soup. Equally tasty. I think I'd like to bike there again.
Twas a great ride. Lots of bridges. Views of fall soybean and corn fields. Tiny burgs to drive through (sort of sad, some of those). And, best of all (are you listening, Steps?) a deer sighting; they kindly posed, and we got 2 good photos! 22 miles round trip.
Today was our first day of our 31st Habitat family project. What an amazing group of volunteers--they got all the exterior walls put up. For the photographer (yours truly), perfect blue skies with random puffy clouds.
I walked my steps at dusk--took two books back to the library. DGS is going to have to eat breakfast without "Good Night, Good Night, Construction Site" for a few days until I check it out again. 11,862 steps today.
More building tomorrow.
Elaine P.S. Problems with this site again tonight. It won't let me log in, and it doesn't recognize my email address when I ask for a new password. I'll email this to my cell phone. I think I can access it there. Sigh. Of course, I have to log in there every time, even though I ask it to save my log-in. It's such a pain to use this site . . . .
NovelHate that. I spent almost four and a half hours completing an application yesterday only for the computer to glitch and lose it all - despite me saving it every few minutes! I slept on it and then did it all again this morning. Sent it off with about an hour to spare before the deadline...SO irritating! Really understand your frustration.
Think of Yom Kippur as a lookout on the top of a mountain that you have been climbing all year. See your days and their moments spread out before you. Be willing to look now at this big picture of your life.
Is this a good thesis for my 1st paragraph? Children of all ages with mild and moderate disabilities should be able to participate in the same physical education classes or non-competitive sports as with children that don't have disabilities, especially under adult supervision.
