Yesterday, I read on reddit, about old lady walking videos on YouTube and I went to investigate. Turns out their are a lot of them. Walk at home. It looked good. I could watch on mute and not have to hear the annoying affirmations and encouragements but still get the pace while I listened to my book.
So this morning, I turned on YouTube on the TV and got to work. The one I picked turned out to have a long speech at the beginning. I had it on mute so I suspect she was explaining how excellent I was and what walking means to me. (gag). So by the time she actually got moving, I was already bored and pissed. I followed for about 5 minutes and then turned her off and got onto the treadmill and did my usual walk.
I did enjoy not putting on walking shoes. I did the treadmill barefoot which turned out to be liberating and also really hard on the bottoms of my feat. I need to dig out my old swim shower shoes.
But, I do have a new level of appreciation for my treadmill.
Biggie's terrible twos. This could be a long year. I covered over the toilet paper roll so he couldn't get to it. He removed the cover and attacked. I moved the box of tissues into the drawer so he couldn't get to it. Sometime in the night, last night, he got the drawer open. I have fucking toddler cat!
I have tile in my bathroom and my feet hate it. So I have plush rugs down. They are good on my feet but don't like to be washed. I washed them yesterday and now they are looking very sad. I don't want to buy more of the same. But, I want warm and soft under my feet. Regular bath mats won't work because 1, they are plush enough for me and 2. Biggie would have them all bunched up in the corner in about 3 mins. But, 90"x40" bathroom rugs are hard to find. It's a puzzlement.
I think I'm going to skip the pastry delivery/pick up this weekend. I am confident that it is a very ongoing thing and I want to keep it special. Plus, $. So maybe in the weeks that I grocery shop, I don't pastry shop. Or something. But, I'm going to skip it this week and revisit next.
Yesterday, I laundered everything so today, I've got no chores which is fine by me. I ripped out my sweater and started again.
First try... ooops. not enough increases so no only for tiny/no shoulders - like maybe a broom.
Second try... much better. It's looking more sweatery now.
So this is what I'll be working on today. But first I think I'll take a shower and get dressed.
I was pointed to this line drawing video of part of Beethoven's 5th symphony. I am not a youtuber. I rarely watch those that others embed in their journals and even more rarely embed any into mine but this one just got me.
