Hope you had a great day yesterday! We took two walks, found a cafe that was open and had the national dessert custard tarts and coffee. So I did get quite a few steps. Today I did an upper body workout.

Looking forward with hope to 2022.

Thanks to everyone for the prayers and well wishes. The pain was lessening but I've developed an allergy to the muscle relaxers. I still have bruising on my back where the muscles tore, two weeks after the fact. I had a lot of soreness and pain in my armpit, too. My SO thinks my repaired shoulder couldn't handle the weight while I was doing overhead triceps extensions so the shoulder called on the back muscles for help and they weren't ready. That's his theory anyway. I didn't feel it when it happened or if I did it was just an ouch moment and I didn't think about it. This is the second time I've hurt my back doing weights but at least this time it isn't my spine.

I hope you all had a nice holiday. My SO went home early Christmas morning. He worked last night. I feel bad for the inmates spending the holidays in prison. Bad enough to be there but because of covid they can't have visitation. I realize they're being punished but the holidays must be very hard for them.

Diana, how was your trip?

I have two more books to read in the Bible and I'll have read it all. I started with the New Testament so I did it backwards.

Rest day after al the holiday prep and stress; not much of either really, but that's my story.

yesterday barre 3 45 minutes and hike with the family in the 75 degree weather at a state park. It was lovely. We bumped into a former student hiking there as well, whom I hadn't seen for many years. Funny coincidence to meet him there but great to see him as he is one of our greatest successes and a super nice person. So we probably spent almost as much time chatting as hiking. Which for our family is equally fun. Today barre 3 30 minutes.

Diana, so glad you have a good time at the resort.

Linda, glad you are recovering, but sounds like a rough injury. Sounds like you have to be super careful with weights.

Cheryl, the custard tarts sound super yummy.

Cynthia, sounds like your holiday celebrations were nice and not so stressful really, but always good to rest!

Today I did Heather Robertson's No Repeat Leg Workout with Dumbbells.

Linda, glad you are doing a bit better. It's always that way with meds, isn't it? I'm allergic to penicillin now. You gotta wonder what other things these meds are doing to us. Also, impressive about reading the Bible all the way through. Are you almost to the end of the Old Testament then?

Lynn, I heard the weather was warm in the U.S.! Sounds like a lovely walk.

Cynthia, sounds like a relaxing holiday!

Diana, glad you had a great trip and got back safely!

Diana, glad you had a good time but more glad you're back.

Lynn, It was 70 here too but I didn't go out to enjoy it. I've had a lot of pain but I never had pain like this. Not sure I ever want to touch weights again.

Cheryl, how's the weather there? My allergy list gets longer every year. Cipro and the muscle relaxers worry me but I can't take them anymore.

Cynthia, your holiday sounds like mine. Meow Meow kept me company.

I tweaked my back getting my "eating pills" from the cupboard. Reaching up is a no no. Why is everything so high?

Well-rested. Choral singing 4 times in 8 days wasn't exactly lazing about with my feet up.
