Goodies and Such (ON HOLD)

I've been trying and rebooting and reloading and I CAN NOT get pictures to import.  Error every single time.  Maybe it's a problem with the blog so I'll try again tomorrow.  If I can't do pictures, I'll type it out -- not nearly as fun, but what can this tech-not-savvy-person do.

Instead I'll chat about my mood.

Yesterday was a tough day.  From wake up through the end of the day.  Things felt heavy and scary and sad.  Good news is I accepted it and went with the flow.  Better news is I woke up feeling good this morning.  I still have no idea if this is hormones or pandemic blues or what.

I met with a friend in a park parking lot and chatted -- even that didn't make me feel better.  Monti had his groom and it went well.  Masks on all but one person at pickup, but he was respectful and kept away from me (groomer is in a Hollywood Feed store) and very few people overall (only 4).  It felt safe enough.

Today is NOTHING.  I planned a possible Trader Joe's run, but I don't need enough to warrant a trip.  Our numbers are skyrocketing so I'm staying home as much as I can.  Meanwhile, our neighborhood is partying away with NO PRECAUTIONS at all.  Fun Friday tonight.  Good lord.  

I LOVE the Hoka walking shoes.  They're crazy comfortable.  I haven't done any long walks with them and I'm not sure which shoes I'll wear when I do anything over a few miles.  I'm trying the running shoes on the treadmill this morning.  Since I haven't run outside in a long time, I decided to try them on the treadmill so only one factor changes.  If my heel is horrible, I'll know it's the shoes, not the outside run.

I'm in the mood for a long walk outside, but that seems to upset my lower back.  It's feeling wonky which is a precursor to going out.  I'm being super careful about bending over too.  The walk has to wait.

I tried a OBE yoga class yesterday and it was okay.  Beginner level, but the first flow was crazy hard.  I ended up doing my own thing and watching the rest.  Not a good one for me.  I'll keep looking -- so many to choose from so I think I'll need to find instructors I like and that will take some time (and some previewing).  But it's still a good option to add VARIETY to my workouts for now.

It's going to be a hot weekend with no rain.  As of now, I have no plans, but maybe I'll see the kids.  I need to clarify the risk level first -- doesn't matter THE WHO, it matters THE WHAT.  

Stay well.  Later gators.
