Pentagenarians & Beyond: W/B 9/15

Good Morning!

No workout today, ( or yesterday ), again the "lazy;s" have hit me. I will start again on Sunday. At least I got in 3 this week. Keegan made out great with the surgury. You wouldn;t even know he had it by looking at him running around and jumping on things etc. If only we could heal that fast.

Garance:
No, not liking the farm stories about slaughtering...I would feel awful listening to the gun shots, and visualizing what was happening. I know it all goes on and I enjoy the results, but I can;t think about it...I know that farmers are probably the hardest workers there are and I have a lot of respect for them.

DH and I actually went to a mall and tried out those sleep number beds, but were too cautious to try one. They say you can try it risk free for 30 days...well what if you don;t like it and want to give it back? that means you have to have kept your old mattress and box spring somewhere in the meantime? I have no place to put those...and if you did have a place, would they come back and take them away after 30 days if you did like the new one? too many things to think about..so we didn;t do it.

The weather here is perfect! really cold at night then 70's low humidity during the day. I love fall!

Linny:
Please post and let us know how you are doing.

Have a great day!

Hi Deb, Linny, Josie, and Carol--

This morning I did Leslie's 4 Fast miles (music only): 50 min.

Deb: What kind of bed is it that you looked at? Are you able to change the firmness by dialing a number? Are they very expensive? Sounds like little K doesn't know what happened to him.

Linny: Hope you are feeling better soon. I am constantly washing my hands because there is always something going around with the students. Right now it's a particularly nasty cold that causes a lot of deep hacking.

This weekend is going to be beautiful and fall-like. Love it!

Good Morning!

Well no workout for me today, as it is my "official" rest day. I worked in our warehouse yesterday loading candles on pallets, and my lower back is kind of stiff. I thought I would feel a lot worse, so maybe all this working out and lifting weights pays off!

Garance:
Yes, the mattress we looked at was the one that you dial the number for your level of firmness. They are not really any more expensive than the set we bought last time. I wish I could figure out if it is a firm mattress I need or a soft one. I thought this would be the solution, but as I said, I heard some horror stories about the air leaking and people having to have them replaced more than once.

Linny:
Sending ((hugs)) your way..I hope this was a 48 hour bug and you are better this weekend.

Have a great day!

Hi Deb and any later posters--

My rest day as well, although I like to think cleaning the house is a workout.

My guess, Deb, is that you need a more firm mattress. DH has back problems and was told to sleep on his back on a firm mattress. He had to train himself NOT to sleep on his tummy, because apparently the spine collapses in that position. I'm a side-sleeper with a rather extreme running pose--one knee way up.

Well that darn groundhog finally got into the garden last night and cleaned out the last of DH's lettuce crop. He didn't mind though, because there was very little left. Brought in more tomatoes for me and some butternut squash which I will make soup with.

This week it's Henry V and Fellini's 8 !/2, plus student conferences, full professor meetings and DH's birthday. So this afternoon I'm watching the Fellini film for the umpteenth time.

Hope the stock market doesn't do loop-de-loos again this week (cringe!).
