Good Afternoon/Evening! I don't blame you for not wanting to go to the knitting group feeling like "Tin Man", Barbara. Hope your infusion really helps. I am not big on getting down on the floor. Used to be no problem to get up and down, but now it can be a struggle. The yoga teacher taught us a technique that is supposed to make it easier, and I guess it does a little. Not going to exercise class for all this time has had a negative impact on my body for sure. I do the exercise DVDs and walk, but it just isn't enough. I am taking a chair yoga OLLI class via Zoom starting on the 19th. Only four classes, I think.
Guess the stair method might work for me, Claudia. But, no stairs here. Sounds like you have been very busy. Sorry you are another "tin man".
Those cookies sound good. Hope you like the Logo tees, Barbara. I saw them and thought they looked nice. But, I really, really don't need any more clothing. I have to keep telling myself that over and over.
I had quite an experience yesterday evening. It was hot, hot, hot all day, and suddenly the wind went crazy as did the sky. My first Haboob, and I hope my last. According to one post on the neighborhood website, the wind got up to 66 miles an hour. We lost power, but only for 10 minutes in my neighborhood. Others were without power all night.
Anyway, I thought the skylight in the bathroom was about to fly off, but it did not. Then, I checked the backyard and my plastic chairs and table had blown to the other side of the yard. It was raining, lightening, etc., but I saw something else that concerned me. I was afraid it was part of the roof or something, but it turned out to be the lid from a plastic storage container of some sort -- not mine. Anyway, I checked it out in the morning, and my across the street neighbor suggested putting it outside the wall in the alley so that someone might see it.
He also pointed out that one of my next door neighbors lost a section of the roof tiles. He just had that fixed a couple of months ago, but this neighbor told me that it wasn't a good job. He was going to try to contact the neighbor who is away (probably in the Dakotas).
Then, when I took my walk, I saw a lot of distruction -- trees, large bushes, cactus, etc., etc. knocked down -- out of the soil. Some in the roads. Another neighbor told me that a large tree had fallen in the alley behind her house.
I had the roof work done last October, but decided to contact a different roofer (recommended by my plumber) to have him inspect the roof and make any repairs needed.
Whew!
My niece-in-law and I have been messaging back and forth, and she thinks she will be here between 1 and 3. That is much earlier than I expected, but I'm trying not to panic. She planned to drive down one way (Apache Trail to Globe) but decided against it due to the fires. She has already experienced a dust storm. Hope the weather here won't be too bad.
Church was very nice this morning. My chair didn't come until today, and now I need to put it together. Wish me luck.
Hope both of you and your husbands have a nice evening and sleep well.
Hugs,
Linda
