I had my second training session this morning. The first one was legs (and it took me about 4 days to recover) and then nothing for about 10 days cause I didn't plan to start until this week. Today is was biceps and shoulders and triceps. I can barely move my arms already and I just got back. They are like they are fluid! I know in time it will get better, but for this first one... I can barely move my arms to scratch. 10-12 reps, 3 sets, on about 5 different machines. Yeah, fluid is a good word.
The compliment... while I was working out, the trainer tells me... "I can't believe how much you look like my grandmother! When I saw you walk in the first day, I wondered why my grandmother was there." Now I could take that different ways. I AM a grandmother..... so I really can't be offended. 40 years ago maybe I could have been, but at 73, I am happily everyone's grandmother! I told him I would consider that a compliment. :-) Maybe that will make him 'nicer' to me. NOT.
Then there is last night. Ms. Amy was brought back to her 'condo' and was doing her laundry so that she can finish packing. She tells her daughter that "she (meaning me) is like my sister!" (I told her I was thinking more along the lines of her daughter.... Ms. Amy is 87) Earlier Ms. Amy had called me and said she was there and for me to come over and get the patio table and four chairs. So I text'd my youngest son and he came over to help move it over. Took maybe 3-5 minutes to get it all brought over to our back 'patio'. It looks like a nicer set than what we have in front, so will probably do a switch, but I want to clean these off first.
A little later Maria called me to come over as she was getting ready take Ms. Amy back, if I wanted to visit. I signed off work 30 minutes early and went over. Maria told me I didn'tget the glider that matched the table and chairs - so her hubby and I carried it over to our place. I visited with Ms. Amy a bit and then came back home. A bit later, Maria calls me again to come over, so once again I run over there. There were a couple angels that Ms. Amy had sitting out in her courtyard that Maria wanted me to have. So I just took them and put over on my side. She got a call so I was able to 'escape' and come back home. I was surprised she didn't call me back over again. They are having Uber pick them up around 8 or 8:30 this morning and then will be heading over to pick up Ms. Amy and off to the airport they will go. I hope they have a safe trip. I gave Ms. Amy a small package of note cards, stamps, and my address, and asked her to send me a note with her new address. Maria and her hubby will be back here the first week of August to get their things shipped to Florida that they want. I asked Ed, her husband, what were they going to do with everything that Maria has decided that she 'has to have' shipped to Florida for herself.... He kind of grimaced then said "I think we need to re-evaluate what she wants to take; we don't have the room."
Hubby has gone to drop his car off at the Buick place... the check engine light had come on so they are running a diagnostic on it. Hopefully, if it takes a while, he will get a courtesy ride home and I won't have to go get him. I'm holding off jumping in the shower until I know he is back home, in case I need to drive to pick him up.
Kinda distracted around here this morning; it's after 7AM so am also on my work computer - and going back and forth. It looks like another light day - which is good. Frees me up to complete tasks that I haven't gotten completed yet. That's the advantage of working from home... I can multi-task when I need to.
Meeting up with my daughter tonight for us to look once again for the dresses for the upcoming July wedding. They want us to wear specific colors... otherwise it wouldn't be such a big deal. But, finding the specific colors tends to be a big deal. Starting at the mall tonight and then will hit David's Bridal once again. Seems they are having a 60 percent off sale. I am thinking they are going out of business at this location. I still plan to take the dress I already have to the alterations person and have them adjust it to my body. Maybe I can get this done by this weekend and mark that off my list. I'm short, so it still needs about 12-18 inches cut off the bottom. Are people nowadays really that much taller than me? I don't have high hopes of finding anything here in the mall; I've already looked through several places. But - maybe there is a store I don't know about. And Prom is over so maybe there will be something I can choose from.
And with that... my ramblings will stop for today. I need to get back to my work computer and put this one away. Hey - at least I managed to add a little something and not just let the day go!
Take a moment and give someone a compliment... you just might make their day. I would suggest though, don't tell your wife she reminds you of your grandmother. :-)
Blessings!
