Exercise that I wasn't expecting

 

Thursday

I got up at 7:30. I opened the blinds, took supplements, exercised, and practiced. I made egg salad and hardboiled two more batches of eggs. They are so small I may have to eat three a day. I read e-mail for awhile.

I was heading out to clean when I saw Jamie raking leaves next door. So we chatted a bit and clarified where we are on the houses. I went to 83E to clean. But my key would not open the front door, nor the back door. It was very frustrating. So I ended up removing a screen and prying up the unlocked window and crawling in. I checked the doors and found that the deadbolt on one was stuck and the doorknob on the other was stuck. Sigh.

I got the stove filter and knobs and burner bowls soaking in hot ammonia water. Then I headed to the chapel for Bible Study. Other ladies were already there. We chatted a bit, then read two chapters of John and discussed them. We also discussed how I should ask for help with my many activities.

I got some Thanksgiving fabric from the sewing closet, then went home. Jamie was till next door. I drank fiber gel and sat outside and read. Then I went in to make breakfast. I had finished the supplements yesterday and forgotten to make more. So I ate breakfast without them and watched The Highwire.

I went to 628 to clean the third bedroom. It took 25 minutes. I also cleaned in the utility room. Then I took most of my cleaners and the stepstool and headed to 83E. I stopped on the way to unlock the swap shop for someone who didn't realize it was open yesterday. I also picked up a package for Chris and talked to the clerk.

At 83E, I cleaned most of the cabinets in the kitchen. I called John and asked him to help me tomorrow. Jack came by to get the dryer. We chatted. I went back to cleaning.

Before 5:30, I headed home. I ate the rest of the fiber gel. I read e-mail and messages till 6. I went to the gym to meet Michelle and the CSM who has a degree in exercise physiology. I was under the impression that she was going to evaluate our condition and goals and give each of us a tailored exercise plan. But no. She had us doing stretches and then circuits. I was already tired when I got there. I was more tired after two rounds of the first circuit. I sat out the third round, then did two rounds of the second circuit and called it a night. They kept going. I went home for supper, locking the swap shop on the way.

Chris got the food out of the fridge for me and I filled my bowl and put it in the toaster oven. We talked until it was ready. Then we talked while I ate. He washed some green snap peas for us. I also picked some ripe cherry tomatoes from the plants I brought in.

I posted to Facebook for Math Morning and worked on my blog.

I made tea and we watched one episode of Criminal Minds. We had a discussion after that. Later he went to bed and then I did too.
