Hey all, it's sunny here, in the 30's but I"ll take it.   I did the treadmill and bike this morning, stretched on the reformer and did a dog walk.   Went to town quickly to get some new Nike's, my shoes were worn out, not from the looks of them but they were breaking down, I can tell when my feet hurt plus I wanted a new pair to take on my trip just for walking through the airport I have to be comfortable.   Wouldn't you know my son said it's been in the 60's and when we are there I saw lower 40's..maybe it will change though. 

Laura, wow what rude people, what is wrong with people.  I don't get it.   And the get ups they wear in public, trying to attract attention I guess.  Sorry it is like that for you.

Dr. Kelli, I'm so glad Lexi wil be okay but still so scary, we have dog designated areas to walk our dogs too and that still means you need to have control over them don't you think?  I'd never do that, I'm actually more aware than my husband is, even in our yard Logan won't leave the yard for me but if someone walks by he wants to run out to the road and I'm always on it immediately, the hubby not so much, he doesn't pay attention to where the dog is.  I'm always on him, opening the window telling him someone is coming with a dog...then he's irritated with me but it's true!

foxxie sounds like a lot of activitiy for you, movement burns calories so that's always good.

Yes I did start a December thread, just so I wouldn't forget.  I didn't even know there were posts there, we need to stay in November until its over Haha..

Nomless is Shadow doing alright?   It's so stressful when our animals are sick.  I'm a wreck having to leave Logan at the kennel.  I think all our neighbors who have pets have family or people to stay with their animals when they travel, everyone except me.   Right now my  next door neighbor is gone, 5 days now and there's a car there to dog sit.   They are so fortunate to have that.  

Any who, time to fold laundry, yippie!

Bopper, enjoy your new shoes. Shadow is doing well, thanks for asking.He's eating fairly well, and I'm relieved and grateful.

DrKelli, I'm glad Lexi is ok. What a ding dong shipping clerk you had. It sounds like restorative yoga came at just the right time.

Hi, Foxxie and Laura.  I can't remember what you posted, sorry. 😞

Remember my lost package that was lost, then found in another city? It was shipped back to my city, then went off to another city again, came back here, and now is at my post office....maybe. I won't believe it until it's delivered. The replacement arrived several days ago, so it looks like I'll have to go to a dreaded postal line to do a return. Then will probably have to exert pressure on Q to not charge me for return shipping. My fun gift to myself turned out to be not so fun. Oh, well, no big deal.

I sure hope things get back to normal here so I can get back into doing my workouts.

Yikes. I just flipped to HSN. Jay King is on. Some of his things really tempt me, so I quickly changed the channel. I love to see his pieces, so unusual.

Good morning everyone.  Oh, the weather has been so nice.  In the fifties!  Yesterday was my run around day....got a pedicure and went to get my tire pressure checked...that icon had been sitting on my dashboard for days....made me nervous.  Just as I thought, it was on due to abrupt changes in weather.

@bopper, I need a new pair of shoes too.  Besides the arthritis in my feet, I'm sure the cushioning in my shoes have broken down.  I love Nike because they usually run wide.  I'm going to wait til I can get Nike this time instead of what's on sale.

Wow, @DrKelli....$71 for postage!  I only buy gifts for my grandkids and husband.  I have five sisters and two brothers and we all agreed a long time ago that none of us can afford gifts at Christmas so all is understood.  I had to buy two gifts for my Red Hatters group, one had a $5 limit and the other is $25.

I'm going to ATTEMPT, lol, to get to the 8:15 Zumba class. If I don't, I'll just donwalking this morning.

Have a great day everyone.  (There's something I meant to respond to but like @nomless, I can't remember, lol).

@nomless  We should all place bets on when the actual delivery date will be.  That's insane!

Well, I thought I was going to bore you today with no Nudie but then Mrs. Rudeness returned!  Late as always but she's baaaackk.  

So I get up and go to the gym and do my 30 minutes on the bike.  Someone has broken the handle bar clamp so it doesn't stay in place and the other bike was in use so I dealt with it.  I was studying my pharmacy stuff so I didn't really use the handle bars much anyway.

I don't understand not taking care of gym equipment.  Even the guy next to me left the dial turned on which ruins the bike resistance and just left.  Ridiculous.

So then it's Power class time.  I don't know if it was the week off or just time but my wrist is almost 100%!  I was so excited!  I did my normal weight for biceps and about halfway through I realized it wasn't twinging me like it normally did.  I've lowered my weight the past few weeks.  It finally woke up a bit towards the end of the track but I finished it with my normal weight which I haven't done in forever.  That's a nice gift I'll take. 

I also felt like I was stronger this class.  It was a different routine but I kind of felt like I nailed all of the moves with little difficulty.  I was proud of myself and felt good.  

So, Mrs. Rudeness strolled in during the second track.  She has her matching outfit with the backpack and phone case again.  It's so impressive.  These are neon colors so it's not like you can just match them.  And it's not the 80s so I am sure she had to search for a matching backpack and phone case to coordinate all three colors to her Nike neon shoes.  

No karate moves but she was swinging a weight around which wasn't part of the routine during the more legs track and lunging her little heart out.  

All in all a good day at the gym.  Now I have to knock off work and then enjoy myself.  Hopefully it will be a quiet day and I'll get some more studying in.  These 200 drugs brand and generic names are something else!

Have a good Thursday!

PS:  The instructor has no clue who Jefferson Starship are.  The song "We Built This City" came on and she was like who is this?  The older people in class about fell over because I am pretty sure they are in the Hall of Fame.  They were before my time but I know them, primarily as Starship, but I do know who Grace Slick is.  I can't wait for about 5-10 more years when someone asks her who New Kids on the Block are and she falls over and off the stage.

@Laura14, your instructor is kind of an idiot.  I admit, I'm not good with current performers, but I do know my classics!

Doing Zumba today and looking forward to it.  But I have my own WTF story--I thought I was teaching tonight and on a whim, I sent the girl a text "am I teaching tonight at Ladies Night?"  She texted back that they were doing another type of workout tonight but she wanted me there to announce my December classes. Well, I already don't like teaching that late and they were doing a HIIT workout, which I don't like and they don't really have the equipment or good mats to do that workout.  So I told her that I had some scheduling conflicts (work next week and I will be at my mom's Christmas week) and that I would come tonight but not do the workout.  She replied, well let's start up again in January.

First, I thought I was scheduled EVERY Thursday, so I would have been ticked off if I had showed up and was told I WASN'T teaching.  If she wants me to teach once a month, that's fine, but she needs to be the one who tells me what day that will be.  Considering I don't get paid for this, it's no sweat off my back to never show up again, but I'm trying to be nice about this.

Am I overreacting?

Hope you all have a good day and that the package finally shows up!

[Laura14]

@DrKelli  She's an idiot!  You don't waste someone's time like that especially when they are a volunteer.  Good for you for demanding to be treated with respect.  You go girl!

@DrKelli, that's crazy!
