Thursday Thoughts

Thought about the Much better temps this morning starting out...I forgot to screen shot it but it was around 27° when I got up this morning. Started the day of course with daily routine chores and breakfast.

Next on today's list was a visit to the Chiropractor, 

I Thought this contraption was quite different, come to find out it's for pregnant women. Where the towel hangs is where their baby belly goes..🤷who knew??

I Thought this sign was ''spot on''...

This individual will be going into another new decade, so I'm doing all I can to stay as healthy as possible. On a side note, since getting adjustments my left hip/lower back still has no twinge! I've scheduled twice monthly appointments leading up to Fly Pig 3-Way Challenge then plan on monthly visits for Maintenace. 

I Thought 2 miles was enough for Day 230 #streakingwiththeCOOLKIDS

I Thought these fire hydrants were a special addition to downtown,

I Thought I looked kinda Cute modeling for my friend's store...

That's ''Hot Ruby'' cider I'm holding along with a 'Danville Strong' ornament. She has a big variety of items and I'll be sharing more in the future. 

Time to relax a bit and spend some time with the Mr, until tomorrow...I'll have news to report regarding Hospice & MLK day coming up. 

Wonderful Wednesday

Brrr, thinking it's going to take a while to reach the 28° mark...

Using up odds & ends for this mornings breakfast,

 it may not look like much, but protein packed and oh so Yummy!

Along with daily household routine and a load of laundry I've updated the blog, answered a few emails, checked into other hospital volunteer opportunities [nothing that will take a lot of time] and secured the Kid's spot for this upcoming race along with promotions for the race.

Ate yogurt snack with PB crackers and headed to Bible Study, then Auxiliary gift shop training then early evening Mahjongg with the Gal Pal's - thank goodness for leftovers and the Mr not minding eating them!

Got'ta Go!!  

 

Tuesday Tidbits

Because of all the low night temps I haven't been locking my car... 

I'm not someone who ''forgets'' to close their door. My suspicion is with all the homeless [I'm not judging] around my area my thoughts someone either 1...was looking for $$ or 2...needed somewhere to rest out of the cold night air. Since Ethel started right up, the battery mode was high 'who ever' was woke up when my niece went to work at 5:30am. Either way I guess I'll take the chance of doors freezing and go back to locking her up at night.

*****

My Christmas gift from the Mr has been utilized so much! Fluffy pancakes for the win this morning. He continues to tell me I'm raising the bar with all my meals..

*****

Put together late-night snack of vanilla yogurt with cut up peaches. Each are around 100 calories..Win!

The Mr hard at it this morning...

I asked Mr to drop me off at the park entrance...this guaranteed I would do more than a mile...

a difficult walk for sure with the extra snow we got.

 

Friday...FriYAY

Yep me again...I'm ecstatic to say I'm returning as #Ambassador for @headsweats and glad there are a few companies willing to take a chance on us old folks.

Phone interview this morning discussing lots of ideas and future plans, not just for the company, but for me as well. I'm grateful to have this opportunity and know that even as a "older athlete" WE can do all the things too. I want to encourage/support everyone with whatever goal[s] on their list. In the meantime #getUp #getOut #getMoving
