Hi,
I don’t jog at all. When the weather was cooler I would sort of sprint between mailboxes on my route or sprint or to the gate in my subdivision as it opened. It’s just too hot and muggy now. First day I haven’t walked in weeks. I got up too late which is unusual but that’s okay.
I did the child pose yesterday and it is easy for me...sort of like a resting pose between reps. For the Happy Baby pose picture a baby on the floor with his legs straight up in the air playing with his toes. I lay flat on the floor...no shoes...grab my feet by the toe area and pull my legs straight up so I am in an L shape position. I hold that position, keeping head on floor...do a few scissors and then lower my legs to the floor. But then I do 10 leg raises up and down right after that. First time I tried I kept rolling to the side.
This is not for everyone and I am not advising anyone to try it. It just keeps me limber.

I ordered and received a portable kitchen island yesterday. My son in law had to help me open the box...it was like a jig saw puzzle. I will attempt to put that together today until he gets over here tonight to help me. I’ve put things together before but this may require 2 people.

So Ill walk around my island today if I can get it set up...if not I just walk around the gigantic box it came in that’s in my kitchen along with a whole lot of little boxes. Time to go be a Happy Baby.

FL Mary

@imallears, Welll, in my book sprinting counts big time too! vbg Thanks for the baby playing with his toes idea; that will help and also the L shape, scissors motion. I'll try that.

We had a lovely built in island in one house and it was in constant use. My daughter has one in her home now and finds it indispensable. My kitchen is an galley style that works perfectly for me as the only cook in the house. I am beyond impressed that you would even attempt to assemble your new one! If it requires more skill than a screw driver, I'm pretty much out of luck. vbg

We're having 100+ degree days with 7 more consecutive predicted. This morning I took a walk at 6:30am and was a bit nervous because it wasn't clearly light yet. Nervous because my neighborhood group has reported some teen or young adult hecklers/bullies? nearby, both in vehicles and on foot. Luckily, my area was totally quiet but I am not venturing out as far from home as in the beginning.

I know kids are bored witless with being home so much but tv news showing roughing up elders walking in other cities is alarming. My bones are far too fragile, not to mention my addled brain to sustain much of a fall.

Plants purchased on my 1st shopping trip remain drying out in their orig. containers. Too hot, too early to be digging new homes for them so I'm watering with stored rain water twice a day. No humidity and no rain in site for this arid area so all life forms dry and wither quickly! vbg

I bet Precious kitty would love your island box to use as an escape cave to play in...feel free to send it here when finished if you don't have another use for it in mind, ok?
