Healing Hands

I have a massage this morning. I’m really looking forward to Lynn Moody’s healing hands, finding and easing all of my sore or stiff parts. I’ll also try to visit with my friend, Linda, while I’m at the retirement place. My husband forgot to get the trash can when he drove down to get the mail yesterday, so I’ll do that when I get home.

Yesterday I did the ‘Fit Sticks’ warm-up video plus two more in the series. Each series of exercises features a small group of women using drum sticks on elevated exercise balls, moving to the beat of a nice song. Since I don’t have an exercise ball, I just moved with them, doing basically the same moves, holding 3-pound weights. By the end of the third video, I was tired and didn’t want to overdo, so stopped. I plan to do them again today. It was fun. I followed that up with my yoga, so the weights and the stretching seems like a good combination.

I’m seeing good results (for me) on the scales lately, getting closer to my interim goal. I’m hopeful I’m on the right track for this to continue.

I finished this set of 4 wooden painted Christmas ornaments yesterday.

This is the back, waiting for personalization before I spray them for protection.

I’m having a lot of fun in my art room, working on various things. It’s good to have some time to myself, doing something fun and challenging.

We bombed out on putting a new innards kit in the toilet tank yesterday. My husband isn’t strong enough to get the new part ‘stuffed’ into the inner front of the tank. I’ve called our plumber, asking him to put us on his list for whenever he can work us in.

Our project for this afternoon is changing out some fluorescents over the entertainment center in the living room today.

People in the path of Hurricane Helene are in my thoughts today. I hope everyone comes through this safely.

Weather

This week is just going to get hotter and hotter with dangerous heat indices each day. We’re trying to do our outside stuff at the beginning or end of the day or in really short sessions with lots of rest and water in-between sessions.

Continuing Project

Since the fluorescent tubes we’ve been using for the past 35 years or so will no longer be produced starting next month, we’ve been forced to upgrade (?) to LED tubes. This means doing away with the ballast transformers in each of our fixtures, rewiring the fixture, then adding the new LED tubes. Since I think there are only two rooms in the house where we don’t have fluorescents, this is quite a project – both in terms of expense and labor. We can’t afford to have someone else do it, so we’re doing it a bit at a time.

Yesterday we converted the two ceiling fixtures in our bedroom. Today we plan to do two in the main part of our master bath. We’ll just keep plodding until we’ve done them all, hoping we won’t have to do this again.

Have a great Sunday.

Long in the Tooth

DeMilked

We’re home now from –

  • getting blood tests for our routine doctor’s appointment Monday
  • eating breakfast at The Dari
  • filling up a small gas container for the mower
  • getting our mail

I think my husband wore himself out taking care of me while I was sick earlier in the week. He felt weak this morning and is taking a nap now. We’re in for the day and he can rest as much as he needs. I’m feeling almost 100% this morning, so it’s MY turn to take care of HIM. Our dog Amber was especially glad to see me because she smelled the bacon I brought home to her. :0)

Our fluorescent lights are acting up lately. There is one fixture in the kitchen that doesn’t come on until well after the light switch is turned on. We think we need to change the bulbs and then the light will come on brightly. Same thing in our office. We have two fixtures acting wonky. And one in the master bathroom upstairs. We may need to get an electrician out to check the transformers. We used to change this stuff out routinely ourselves, but maybe this needs to go on the ‘get help’ list.

Rain isn’t forecast today, but it’s really cloudy and looks like it could rain any time. We have the doors open for a nice breeze and we’re in for the rest of the day so it might be kind of nice to have a light rain.

I wish you a happy Wednesday.
