Saturday

The cats were up and ready to go at the normal weekday hour. I got up and feed them and they let me sleep another 2 hours. It was lovely.

I need eggs and whipped cream. I can get them both at Grocery Outlet which is on the way home from the yarn pop up store. A moment of sanity grabbed me last time they popped up. But, I'm afraid that's not going to happen today. I'm going to check out their stuff. Doesn't mean I have to buy any...

Then Grocery Outlet. Then back home. Or maybe a walk down to Cash and Carry (at the other end of the block). I need some paper trays that they carry. And I need steps.

A woman on the FitBit subreddit, the other day, posted a link to a watch face she created - her first one. Turns out she had ordered a new watch but it hadn't arrived yet so she was amusing herself by learning how to make watch faces. I got it, installed and and fell in love. She asked for feedback and I told her the only thing I'd change was adding day/date. Minutes later, she added a link to the new version.

In the morning, when I wake up, it looks like it's broken. Then as I do steps, it gets limbs and then leaves and then flowers and then ... a bluebird!!!



So now I have to gather steps to get to the bird... I'm truly the epitome of a fitness tracker whore.

Now it's time to get dressed, get the breakfast dishes washed and start working towards my bird.

Oh, and check out The Tree That I Hate!! I can finally see the neighbors. And so can Biggie who's enjoying a rare perch on the first floor of his tree. I do need to encourage those folks there on the left to raise those blinds!

Oh, very cool watchface!!! And I know what you mean about being a fitness tracker whore. I had no idea how competitive I was until I got my FitBit. I'm mostly competitive with myself (or against my goal numbers), but yeah...

Nice to know it's not just me. I often hear tech nerds dissing trackers - who pays attention? it's not going to make you do more! or less!! Yet another thing that tech nerds are wrong about!

Oh yeah... and I especially love the hourly reminders during the day, telling me to get up and move if I haven't gotten at least 250 steps (my husband loves that feature too... because he's often completely absorbed in the code he's writing and doesn't realize how much time has passed).

yep! Garmin was great for swimming but the hardware was butt ugly and heavy. I did not realize, however, how lame the software was for every day stuff. Fitbit is so much better on all the details.

That is so cute, I wish I had a compatible tracker!

[susandennis]

I get that. I do.

Oh i love that watch face!
I hate that most of them are pay.

[susandennis]

I actually don't mind paying a little for one I love but - reviews, please! Buying a pig in a poke on a website I know squat about... I hate the whole bundle thing and it's so hard to figure out how/where to buy said bundle or what's in it.

oh my, I stumbled into a bit of a rant there...

I keep my blinds lowered (for the most part) primarily because of a fear that a cat somewhere may be watching me. Mind you, I have hummingbirds attending my balcony regularly and I get the occasional crow so the cat may not be interested in my partially naked butt, however, I ain't taking chances.

That is very cool.

I love that he's assumed his watchful spot over the neighborhood. : )

[susandennis]

I wonder who he's sending his reports to.
