Heart Chakra Yoga this morning.

Hoping to get this major data entry project at work almost complete today. I am beyond over it and chained to my desk. I haven't eaten lunch all week. Totally unnecessary for me to do when all someone had to do was upload a list in thirty seconds. It amazes me what we let "employees" get away with these days. 

My gripe for the day. Hope everyone has a great active Thursday. 😁

Good morning!  I think I've been MIA for a few days.  I've been so busy--I usually manage to not do a lot during December, but this year has kicked my butt.

I did do a trainer workout yesterday, plus I went to rehearsal last night for the showcase.  Tonight is the full rehearsal--my costumes are not complicated--a Ramones shirt, leggings and red converse for my solo (I'm kicking off the show with my partner) and the same with a santa hat for the group number.  I also  have a dentist appointment before rehearsal, so after I get out of that, I need to go eat and then go to the rehearsal.

I have a meeting in a few minutes and then I really need to practice the group number--the choreography is so fast and I really did not do well last night.  But I've only had 3 practices.

Hope you all have a good rest of the day.

Happy Thursday!  Well it started off so windy we had no power for hours..  It was 45 and now it's snowing and 34 and almost a blizzard.

I took today off to get groceries and run a few other errands.

@Laura14  that would drive me crazy!  

@DrKelli  I hope your rehearsal goes well for you.   It's a crazy month.  I am glad when it's over.  May sound not so cool but it's like over kill in my opinion and I just want to be done with it.

Not sure how many workouts I'll get in until Monday.  Depends on what my kids want to do while here.  And of course their generation never wants a "plan"  I like to have a plan sorry but not sorry!

I think we're all a little stressed...

Hang in there gang!

Throat chakra yoga today. Going in super early to work to hopefully finish this stupid project and enjoy my weekend. TGIF!

Happy Friday!  Well it wasn't happy for me.

I told you my son and DIL and little grandsons were coming yesterday.  Well they aren't coming.  Got within 100 feet of our airport ( like 15 minutes from my house!) and the wind was bad and the pilot pulled up and said they had to go back to Minneapolis.  He said if they circled waiting he'd run out of fuel if that didn't work and wouldn't be able to get them back to MInneapolis so back they went and my son waited over an hour to get his bags off the plan, little boys hungry and tired, no hotel.. Nightmare and beyond.   They are not back at their own house and not coming at all.  Beyond sad!

I did workout though instead of wallo in sadness.  I did 20 minutes spinning and 20 minutes strength...

Stay safe everyone!

Sorry to read this news. I know we had some high winds and hard rain late Wednesday afternoon. 

Wife has been gone on her Pet Sitting job since Monday. Think she will be home late Sunday night. Then she is off to a small town 60 miles away until January 4th.

We really don't do the family Christmas stuff anymore. She has only her brother and none of his kids or grandkids live in our State. For me I have 1 older sister left, she turned 88 on the 15th, and she gets together with her kids/grandkids and great grandkids for Christmas.

Went skating today and there were a lot of people. Usually maybe 10-15 on Fridays, but more like 100 today. Helps keep my turning and stopping skills sharp. Some kids you have to guess sometimes if they are turning or stopping. Keeps me working harder for sure.

Hope somehow you have a good Christmas. Stay well now,

@bopper I am so sorry! I don't understand why they would even attempt if they know the winds are up and risk themselves and your family and put everyone through that. How horrible for them and for you. I hope you all get together soon. ❤️

Confidence boost yoga this morning for me.

In case you never believed about how bad sitting is for you, I have not moved from a chair at work all week. Yesterday, I went 5:30am to 4pm. My back hurt and almost spasmed when I got home. And no, I'm still not done. At least Monday and maybe Tuesday to go. 

But, I actually bought myself a shiatsu massager a week ago. I opened it last night and had more than a moment on my couch. And I haven't used the heat function yet.  It was beyond heaven. Best $30 purchase at Walmart ever. I am about to go for it again now with a cup of tea and enjoy my weekend. 

Hope everyone is enjoying the run up to the holidays as stress free as possible. Next week is going to be nuts between birthdays and Christmas and work. I need to go make a to do list. 

Happy Saturday!

@bopper   also sorry to hear your family got close only to be headed back to Minn.

   Safety first, but disappointing .

    I worked out at the rec center early yesterday and was the only one in the weight room at 5am for the first 20 min.It's bizarre when that happens.  With covid ramping up again, also a very good thing. 

  My other workout was with my  grandson.. If we could bottle the energy of a 3 year old!

  Hoping to bike today. Think its finally warmer and less wind.

 Assume we are  gonna have a green Xmas..I like I  can still bike, but its just wrong that we haven't had snow yet.

I'll be hiking tomorrow. 

   Stay safe out there..And enjoy your weekend.

Hi, everyone!  

Did some in house walking today but that's it.  At this point I don't have any workout plans until Monday.  

Aww, @bopper, that was so disappointing, I know.   And your son and family had to be frustrated.  Hopefully, they get a credit or refund.  Might not fit there schedule, though.  Flying these days is a necessity rather than a pleasure.

Hope everybody has a great day.  Even if it's rain, like here.
