Thought of the Day: “A dream doesn’t become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.” - Colin Cowell

Book Referral of the Day:   Legacy  by Nora Roberts (Why not?)


Well, the monster has been poked. Books are being piled, shelves shifted, and secret pee spot discovered. I suspect said “spot” was created so that he can pee in peace. The litter box doesn’t offer much in the way of privacy from a nosy sister. Still, it’s a pain to clean.


Mom will have her expanded storage area (which she initially swore was more than enough space), and I’ll have a place for my comic boxes that doesn’t include dripping water. I’m enclosing things up a bit. Give it a more “cozy” feel. The rug really helps with that. So that will be my sitting area where I can have friends. Sad that I can’t use the living room, but where would I stuff Mom? She’s gonna listen anyway. 


Laundry is done too. Lotsa stairs today. Hope it shows on my Fitbit.


I’ve come to the conclusion that I either really need to step up my fitness level or just admit that I can’t play certain sports anymore. My goal is to step up, but we’ll see. Corporate Challenge is supposed to be for all levels. First time I’ve seen soft softballs though. Maybe T-ball seemed too childish? 


Anyway, I need to step up. It can be difficult to eat healthy in some ways. (I don’t eat a lot of junk, but I’ve eaten healthier!) And simply being more active doesn’t do much for me (visibly). So I have to decide how to pinpoint the areas I want to work on. I used to love aerobics, but that will only help my cardio. So, I’m going to try some yoga. (I have a book.) I’m also going to figure out where in my schedule I will add work outs. AND KEEP THAT TIME SLOT! That’s the hard part. My energy gets low at times. Sometimes physically, sometimes mentally. Still, If I can quit smoking (has it been 30 years?) with nothing more than sheer will power, I can do this too. 


Yes, I can!


Sweet Dreams!
