Monday Updates

Here are a few updates on the things of late ...

COLD SHOWERS:

I'm not sure if there's a placebo effect that's raised my mood, but I'd say I'm basically out of my funk.  My back feels good too.  The showers feel refreshing in the morning.  Easy, harmless.  I'd call this a win.  BTW, I "rush" my regular shower to make up for some of the extra water usage.  

OUTLANDER:

Still good, but season 3 is getting a little too much --  no spoilers, but I'm getting sick of the main characters being all HERO.  Even their flaws are turned around to be for the good of others.  Maybe I need a little break from binge watching.  You think?!?!

SELLING SUNSETS:

Reality real-estate show on Netflix -- 3 seasons.  Not sure about this one.  I watched a couple of episodes and it falls especially flat after what's happening in our world.  Spoiled, mostly blonde, all beautiful white women working for 2 brothers selling luxury.  Add a heavy dose of mean-girl stuff, sexist bullshit and obvious white privilege and that's the show.  Yet, I'm bored in quarantine.  Maybe I'll watch to be shocked and horrified or maybe I'll veto giving airtime to this crap.  Probably the latter.  

FOSTER DOG:

No word about him.  Stay tuned.  Usually we have some sort of timeline.  Makes me wonder ...

PICTURE WALL:

I'm getting some fun ideas to frame memorabilia from our lives.  I'll set up the first couple of things with FrameBridge this week and built "the look" once I get those finished.  My picture should be arriving this month and this is an anchoring point for around the mirror.

BOY'S LIFE:

I've read to page 250 or so.  Guess I'll finish this week.  It's becoming more cohesive and that's driving me to read more than one chapter at a time -- it's a good story.  I ordered a suspense thriller that's coming later this week.  I LOVE this kind of book and it gets great ratings so I'm extra motivated to finish.  I won't order the old style paperbacks again.  Way too hard for my old eyes to read.

SOCIAL THINGS:

Phone chat today with my girlfriend who had the house flood.  In-person isn't happening so we're catching up the quarantine way -- maybe I'll chat and walk (weather depending).  Monti gets groomed tomorrow and I have a dentist appointment on Wednesday.  Social??  Kind of ... I get to see people mask to mask.

OBE FITNESS:

I did an air boxing workout yesterday.  It was fun, but I had to modify the leg bouncing a bit because of my heel.  My arms are sore today ... really?!?!  Wow, I need to get back to variety in my workouts.  So far my back is holding steady.  Just waiting on the heel to heal.  It's a nice workout service, but I'm not getting as much use out of it yet because of ME, not OBE.

That's all from here.  Hope this is a good week for us all -- a win will feel great.  Stay well.  Later gators.
