Rewatching The Godfather:

Is it me, or did Al Pacino have the MOST amazing hair?!?

There's dialogue, and I (from a family of blonds) am distractedly STARING at that hair.😆

#IrrelevantPost

I just, real quick, did a purge of the things hanging in my downstairs closet.

Didn't exactly decimate it, but chucked some, am donating others, and found some good stuff (I totally forgot about) lurking in the shadows. 😍

BEWARE! It will be filled with HEAVY books!

tfw you're so tired from a workout that even post meal, nap & bath, you're still wicked crabby.😅 I forgot this was a thing. #ItsBeenAWhile

Fortunately, DH is outside working on a burn pile, so is safely out of range.😊

JUST figured out y my 🍏 watch is always calling my walks "leisurely."

Today I was in the gym, READING the speed (3 mph+).

Watch said 2 mph.🤔

It's my STRIDE LENGTH!! I'm 6'1' w/a short upper body!😅

At least I now know why, when I = huffing & puffing uphill, it's calling me lazy.🤓

#IrrelevantPost

Oh, incidentally, I've belonged to my gym for about 2 weeks? Ever since I started working out there (NOT every day, mind you), my chronic lower back pain has

VANISHED.

I'd had it for MONTHS.

A few warm ups, weight sessions, and pretty decent stretching sessions & I'm CURED.😅🥳🤩

#IrrelevantPost

So, if my bum-bum is sore today after my 2nd workout in this gym ...

but today was an upper body work day ...

then, I MIGHT be out of shape?
🤔
😅
💪

Regardless, I WENT, so I'm calling it a win.😁

#IrrelevantPost

So, I finally followed my husband's footsteps and joined a local gym. Also did a quick workout.

1. It was GREAT.
2. WOW, did I forget about the endorphins!🤩
3. I also forgot that working out makes your body BOSSY. 😅

A very large, old, rounded live oak has branches that reach the ground all the way around it. The tree stands amid grass, and has two pine snags standing near it. This is all under a blue sky with white, overexposed clouds.

Since the last time I had a costochondral separation, I learned to not lean on the tub while scrubbing it.😅

Yesterday I was trimming dangling branches of our HUGE oak. While trying to cut above my head, I braced a lopper handle against my body & pulled the other toward me.

"POP!"

FYI, if you are in a MOOD (think mine was brought on by migraine),

Peaky Blinders is a perfect match.

HIGHLY recommend.

Screen shot from the Sopranos, where Svetlana has been listening to Janice (Soprano), then Svetlana says, "Ugh, you're a boring woman." as she pushes past Janice to enter Junior Soprano's home with a new health care worker.

#IrrelevantPost

This is probably my favorite moment in all of the Sopranos.

Makes me bust out laughing every time.😄

I LOVE that character.😍🥰

Back's been hurting, incl 1st thing in the morning. And it's Shopping Season.

So, looked at mattress reviews.

OMG, mattresses are SO EXPENSIVE!

Even the reviews say the prices have shot up in recent years.

Yiiiikes.😬

Maybe I'll do sit-ups and superman exercises?😅

#IrrelevantPost

So, made gluten free protein pancake mix myself, adapting the Joy of Cooking basic pancake recipe.

'Cause I ran out of power cake mix & I shouldn't eat gluten.

SO: the results were better than I could have hoped!

Tasted & cooked & looked better than PK mix! 🥳🥳🥳

I feel inordinately proud that I made a meatloaf and popped that pup into the oven.😊🤓

I WAS just gonna ask if I can take a tea break btwn a little yoga & some strength work.

Then I realized I'm @ the phase where ANY REGULAR non-walking exercise is progress, so the answer is def YES.😅

Trying to be nice to me, & ignore things I used to do that I can't (yet).

Same GIF Alt: gif fm tv show where 1 person pushes another forward, and the pushee is looking crabby; screen says "You can do it." "I don't want to."

So, was warming up for a workout, then felt weird, like i need kcals. Started eating, and nope. Maybe it's just physiological whining.😆

Guess I'll drink more water, crank the tunes, and DO IT.😅 At WHATEVER speed I wanna.

FYI, if you dislocated a lower rib last night, putting a TINY food dish (smaller than my palm) on the floor for kitty's dinner tonight is ...

EXCRUCIATING.😬💦

Jebus! 😅

Did YOU know this? I did not.😆

Think she'll be eating at a kitchen chair this week ....

(😊Saw Dr., I'm fine.)
