That is a good idea, Mona! My sister and SIL swim and they love it.
It’s good that your diastolic was fine, Snowysmom. I’m sure it will be better when you’re more relaxed. My doctor always rechecks it again at the end of the visit. The only thing about the gym this time of year is the germs. After being this sick for so long now, I’m weary of getting sick again. Even rethinking our winter baseball trip since I feel that airplanes are where a lot of people are catching germs. What about just a treadmill and some weights at home? Not to give you anything more to worry about.
I woke up today to my friend who has a home business texting me she found out that a customer who was in her house last weekend tested positive a few days later. She is elderly and is very careful, gets all her shots, doesn’t go out a lot, etc. So I had to talk her down for a while, but I hope she doesn’t get sick. I doubt it, the interaction was minimal.
Taz, sending prayers for Anthony. DS wanted to play football in HS but he was so deep into baseball, and I knew so many other players who’d been hurt playing other sports, that we were like, no, lol. Dustin Pedroia in his book has a good passage about it happening to him. We’ve been down the torn meniscus route, too, after a slide into third base on a bumpy infield; cleat caught a bump, and knee bent. Radiologist diagnosed it on MRI, but when DS got into surgery, the surgeon found it wasn’t actually torn, so closed up his knee and sent DS to PT. Always something.
DS just landed from his first night flight. Whew, I was nervous! I’m sure it looked nice up there. I’ll see if he got any pics, but I doubt it. Mr. Seriousness.
Easy, it sounds like a great set up for your husband. I hope he does what he’s supposed to do! Lol
Haven’t been as productive as I would’ve liked. Winded with movement and tachycardic. This always happens to me when I get sick. So taking it slow. Hopefully I can get some stuff done this weekend. DH has to go into work for a few hours tomorrow.
There were a lot of things he wanted to do around the house before it rains on Sunday.
Enjoy the rest of the evening! And wishing everyone a nice weekend.
(Put away for later.)
Got them all wrapped, will be stopping at Kroger today after work to buy all the gift cards that I need. I changed up the menu for Xmas Eve. We're planning to just do appetizers instead of a big dinner but I thought maybe we should have something more than just snacks. I'm going to order a finger sandwich tray from the butcher's and pick that up Xmas Eve morning.
. I would have liked to get a nap in before work but I think I'll be watching the game instead. Hopefully I can sleep in and that will help. Sunday Evan and Mia are tagging along with me for a trip to the international grocery store, Jungle Jim's. I want to get Mitchell's dog some fancy dog treats since I'm not getting her a toy (she tears up every single toy she's had) and we'll walk around and see what else we can find. The place is huge and its more of a sight-seeing destination.
my husband hates to sit still when there is work to be done, so I'll be enforcing a week or two of him having to sit tight.
dear Snowysmom
Just XOXO. So proud of you and your courageous spirit my friend. Do you enjoy 
at all? Several friends from church are in a beginner's water aerobics class at the Y that they very much enjoy and find relaxing. Pre pandemic and before she retired, my friend and pastor at church, Pastor L, every Wednesday night offered a very small service of prayer and meditation in the Chapel. Sunday evenings, a similar service was offered. I don't know whether both still are going on. Of course there would be the time difference between us as far as you listening virtually. Perhaps a church out there might offer something similar that you would find an extra source of 
Thinking of you and sending love.
(Always trying to find things everyone likes.)
It’s nice to see you posting. Sounds like you’ll be busy for the holidays and surrounded by loved ones. That’s great. I know it will still be bittersweet.
