Keep on Moving: November 2019

I swam this morning for 1/2 mile and 80 yards, 27 minutes. Did PT today and we talked about instead of walking for 2min45sec at one clip 2-3x daily, break it up so I am walking around the kitchen doing my chores and cooking, just as long as I am on my feet.

The other way, I had nothing left to do my cooking with...

Laura came today and did a little more than usual since I am not feeling too well. So mostly I have just set today, however I did do 3 loads of laundry, and I helped her put clean sheets on my bed and I made the rest up. I cooked vegetable soup for supper.

Bravo for you, Virginia! I think it's great that you're able to do so much in spite of UTI symptoms.

On Monday I walked a museum and came home and did two loads of laundry that included two flights of stairs. I also ran the dishwasher and there is some bend and stretch with putting it all away. Yesterday, I decluttered the house for the house cleaners. Today, I plan to take a walk. It’s clear and crisp out.

Agate are you now the energizer bunny?😎

One of those flop-eared, tired-looking bunnies?

Glad you're back from the doctor, Virginia. I hope that the med starts working soon!

Agate and ANN really push hard :)

ANN pushes hard. She does lots of stairs and airports and such. Agate has trouble remembering to do enough exercise each day....

ANN has less motor disability - an unfair advantage.

Today I walked a total of six blocks to get some hot black bean soup for lunch. Tasty. And I did stairs for another load of laundry and ran and emptied the dishwasher again. Then I made the Basque Garlic and Potato soup for the 5 th time this season.

It was a good day and a good day for soup. Cold day, with a high of 38 and only 25 now!

Today, without planning on doing it, I cleaned my master bathroom and another one off the hall. I took a long handle brush that extends and I let it out and after I leaned over my big whirlpool tub and sprayed it with cleaner I used the long brush to clean it and rinse it. It was a lot of leaning. I cleaned both of my vanities and the toilet. Then I went in my other downstairs bath and did it.

Laura told me Friday that she is coming next week on Monday. She has just started coming when she decides and I started to call and tell her not to come, but I decided that I should not cut off my nose to spite my face. There is plenty to be done.

I am tired after cooking supper, so I will sit in front of the fire and read.

[stillstANNding]

Wow, Virginia, scrubbing tubs and toilets. That’s hard work. Stars for you. None for Laura.

I went up two flights of stairs to fetch my MIL, then lunch and then walked around Trader Joe’s. It was busier than I have ever seen it.

At home I did one more load of laundry.

Ann, you seem to be doing a load of laundry about every day lately.
