Sunday Fall Chatter

 Well, I hobbled my way to the next badge:


Travel wiped out my usual Wednesday blog, and kept me offline on more of my personal time - and I liked it. Continuing the trend. I accidentally walked two miles while I was away from home; I miscalculated the distance, and fortunately suffered no ill effects. I haven’t gone more than 1.6 since before physical therapy this summer. Tried 2 miles again on the Wednesday walk. No ill effects on Thursday. Friday, my hip was tender, and it was on Saturday as well, but I still managed two slow miles attending to proper walking form. Today I’ll rest it again. I’m not sure I can squeeze a walk in Monday, but a Monday-Wednesday-Saturday morning walking schedule makes sense in my mind. We shall see.

In other news, I completed my oversized seasonal puzzle:

I began assembling it on our larger table before our sudden need to travel. I offered to disassemble it to clear the table for DH while we were gone. He was sweet and said, “And have you start over? No.” Now there’s no guarantee I would have started over and completed it. Life goes on. But it was also his way to say he cares about things that are important to me. I was willing to let it go in favor of taking care of the young adults, but he supported me so I could support them. ❤️

Well, I feel the need to get back to offline living. Hugs and love!

  1. Hey! A badge is a badge! ๐Ÿ˜€
    It denotes progress. Legit progress ๐Ÿ˜‰

    DH sounds like a keeper ❤️

    I think there’s a lot to be said, for the offline life (says the woman who ran away to live in the woods off the grid and relies solely on a flaky cell phone data connection for internet). I *might* just be a little biased...๐Ÿ˜‚

  4. My blurry morning eyes misread it as “dopamine kickers” which somehow also works ๐Ÿ˜‚

    Reminds me of that kid’s game we called, “Operator” but others called “telephone” ๐Ÿ“ž

  5. I have nearly gotten my on line time to less than an hour in the early morning. Rest of the day I do my best to stay away. Somedays are great some days not so much. Enjoy your offline time.

  10. Congrats on the badge (in spite of things perhaps because of things?) and the timely seasonal puzzle is a beauty. DH was a sweetheart...many men would not have figured this one out! You are blessed. Hip-Hip-Hurray! (No pun intended, well maybe not). Cheers friend.

  13. Putting the puzzle on felt (fabric) helps to roll it up and put it away without taking it apart.
