You do lead a busy life Ann.

Well, we were just sitting around for an hour drinking coffee and talking. Not THAT busy. A quick stop at Costco on the way home mostly for toilet paper before we resort to old catalogues for the bathrooms. Was in and out in 20 minutes.

I will meet a new potential violin student tonight. I teach a handful of adults who are happy with a flexible schedule as that's what I want these days. The student from the last few years who I've been trying to get rid of, told me she's changing to a teacher closer to her home. Yay! (She moved to the far west end of town a few years ago and I live in the east end. I tried to get her to change when she moved, but she continued to come to me for a longer time each lesson.) I wish the new teacher luck as the student doesn't listen to herself, practices way too fast and thinks good intonation and correct rhythm are options. I was getting NOWHERE with her and dreading her hour-long lessons. Maybe a new teacher will get through.

We went for a walk today. My baby toenail was digging into my next toe enough that there was blood. There is always something with my feet. My toenails were not long, but I cut that one back as much as I could.

Kelli, seems like there is always something to bug us. This morning my back and neck are acting up from the arthritis.

Bummer, I hope it gets to feeling better soon. Are you worse off in cold weather?

Not really Kelli, it's bad all year, I think it was cleaning the shower yesterday that caused the problem that I have today.

I cleaned today. It's no wonder we get aches and pains.

I think cleaning is bad for our health.

Noooooooooo
I like it

Kelli - have you tried putting some Moleskin between your toes when walking? https://www.walgreens.com/q/mo... It might help. Glad you got the walk in though.

I've done aquafit two days in a row now. Tomorrow morning, back to walking.

You like cleaning Rosie?

I think I wouldn't mind it so much if I didn't have so many aches and pains. When I finish cleaning, my aches and pains are always worse than before I started. And they make it take longer than it should, too.

Yes. I honestly do. It is good exercise and I always remember that as I am doing it.

I always have a music blasting too and it keeps me company.
Sometimes I will call my sister and clip the phone to me and clean the baths or fold clothes ( my least favorite is ANYTHING to do with laundry) or clean out the fridge or pantry.

She gets pissy if I run water. I get pissy when I can hear her chewing -- licorace - red. I tell her that stuff is bad for her but she inhales it.

I stand on old hand towels and slide across the floor in between steams and I really do like it.
A girl has to have some fun! 😊

That's funny Rosie, slip sliding around.

I know housework is a good form of exercise and I have always kept a clean house, I detest a dirty one, and really I mostly don't mind doing it, just that lately everything seems to hurt from the arthritis, especially my back, and then there's the allergies that have gotten worse.

I have been having problems with ankles and feet pain mostly...after a bit it fades but it does feel bad when I first get up... Like my poor rosie as she aged

Excellent! I knew I never wanted to spend lots of time cleaning.

My friend and I went out to Panera Bread for lunch. I got one of the soup and salad combos. Really tasty. Of course come 6 PM I was hungry again. Oh well, just ate a sandwich and my muffin I had bought at lunch and took home.

I didn't do any garden work today, no real work at all. In the late afternoon another friend came over with her dogs and we talked while the dogs played.

Oh, I did sneak in a short exercise walk with Lily.

I worked in the garden, trimmed the grass and edged the beds, fairly large lot so that is quite a job, cleaned the fountain and the bird baths.

That stuff isn't licorice!!!! Give me the black stuff and lots of it.
