Today I trained, did physical therapy, grocery store and then over to the ski locker room to see what's what. My gear is ready and waiting for the delayed opening, which is tomorrow. Sadly the powers that be restricted all gear to the lockers themselves which will prevent me from using boot heaters so no warm boots in the mornings. :cry: I would plug the heaters in to the receptacle and hide them behind a couch. A couple very entitled people ruined it.

Anyway skiing starts tomorrow so it'll be fun even though it's only 3 runs, but still 3000' or 915m of vertical. These are the lifties training on the new RFID ticket checking system so no more showing one's ski pass! We've finally joined the 21st century.

when you say you ''did physical therapy '' ( called Physiotherapy here) ...do you mean you had physio or you gave it to someone else ?:)
 
i did some table shouting therapy with a group of similar inclined - all got hearing aids - we eat rolls and sup beverages [non-alcoholic] and have a bloody good laugh talking wot we think is sense but for those across the table non-sense - my peculiar sense of humour just clicks in automatically and I have a great fun time - not sure about the rest - some seem to have either serious faces or bemused ones?

and then the icing on the cake so to speak - we drive around from place to place dropping people home or at the PO etc only the driver and me and me mate left - then he says can't understand some of these Aborigines sit around all day on their arses doin nothing? - I gulped and said nothing - the driver is Indigenous I thought he was and my wife is?

I remained silent but it doesn't bother him cos he usually tells the same story each week .After he alight I off loaded to the driver who I know very well - she told me : "he's not Oz Aboriginal he's a kiwi - could have knocked me down with a flag staff - wot a morning! - lessons to be learned and savoured -

I had spent the morning talking to a'mate' from Malaysia originally; he Islamic and me Token christian - don't let them tell you that old folk don't have fun lives - it happens everyday!!

It's done to me. I use the term physical therapy incorrectly to distinguish a therapeutic massage which can be really painful, but it releases all my trigger points and increases my range of motion in my shoulders and hips. I find movement so much easier with regular therapeutic massage, chiropractic, and training so that's what I do.

We have a portable massage table so I can treat my wife or others, and I know where to find the knots, but I'm not talented enough to know how much pressure each person can tolerate.
 
I finally cleared the clutter off our dining table on which we rarely eat our meals. I also baked a butternut squash my son picked up for me about a week ago. It was hard to cut and the membrane holding the seeds didn't come out easily, but the baking process was simple. I hadn't made butternut squash in decades but intend do it more often going forward. I'll get my son to cut the squash for me though. I'm so clumsy that I have to be extra careful not to cut myself. :rolleyes:

I watched a couple of T.V. programs, ate a snack then took an impromptu nap in the late afternoon after putting away the refrigerator items my son brought from Shoprite. This evening I balanced my checkbooks.

Everyone.......

Good night, sweet dreams.jpg
 
Morning all on early walk at 6:50 temp was 28 with no wind as I strolled around the building once before breakfast
Mon, called my friend,Mary to tell her I wanted to renew our weekly' road trips' not wait until Jan.I told her I thought she would be too busy with family obligations over the holidays. When I told her to disregard what I orginally said, she was 'thrilled' She's picking me up at 9,going to local grocery store, Wegmans
The rest of my day read NYT, this evening I'm going with friends to local church. Marcia&Dave's son, Alexei will be doing his annual piano Christmas concert, at 7 fund raiser for the counseling org where Marcia was exec director for 36 yrs, Its always well attended,he's very talented
Everybody have a good day

Good reason to have a dedicated set of winter tires.

Funny thing is DH is a born and raised Chicago area guy. He's lived this far longer than I have. So he knows about the tires.
I think it's a reasonable excuse for him to get a day off is the underlying issue.
To his defense though, Chicago land does clean their roads much quicker and cleaner than they do here. We are in a rural
area so snowplows get to us last. I sat and watched 4 neighbors sliding all over the hill trying to get out. Only one 4x4
made it and that was because he was the 1st before the snow was packed to ice.

Exactly the same thing happens here
 
Good morning to everyone. It is sunny with the high 69 but low tonight is 44 degrees.

I had an early delivery from Walmart and received everything I ordered. They are getting better than Amazon which seems to have issues with their facilities that move the items along to our city. They sometimes take 4 days instead of 2 for some items at Amazon.

Anyway, I hope you all have a good day and take care of yourselves. :)
 
Tai Chi class this morning - and a tiring one! Came home and had a 2 hour nap. Likkle Grandaughter is here today which is fun but again tiring. As soon as she goes home we're packing for a long weekend with our eldest in Cambridge. Lot of tat filled wooden sheds with tinsel on. I'm plotting my escape :oops: :ROFLMAO:

Good morning. Only 5 F (–15 C) here right now, but tomorrow it will warm up to 30, so I'll be putting my errands off 'til then. Today will be a day for work and cleaning. I'm also going to use the RIT Back-to-Black kit I bought and try to dye some of my black leggings back to their original darker shade.

So, another wildly exciting day in my corner of the world. :LOL: I don't mind. After all those years of working and chasing around after the kids, un-exciting is really quite pleasant.

Hope everyone is having a good one.

Oh Don, I am sorry.

I just had a phone call from the doctor's office that I asked for us to be new patients and he accepted us. I was happy to hear this news as we have not had a doctor since October.

He was the last doctor in that clinic to accept new patients. There about 10 doctors there, so we must keep him. I do have a doctor for my kidney disease and my husband has a doctor for his eye problems.

@hawkdon, so sorry to hear about your sister. Please keep her memory as a blessing in your life. 🤗
 
Busy day ahead here. Cleaning, baking and a business task loom large on my agenda. I'll be checking in when there are some breaks in the action.

Indoor Christmas decorating is done, but DH and I are waiting for the wind to settle down a bit before doing the outside decor. They hold up against the wind just fine, but we prefer to set things up when it's less breezy.

The critter catchers are slated to show up today. For that evolving story, see:
Help! Have a critter under the house!

Hope all have a great day!
