Another turbo cycle ride before breakfast to see if there were any eggs available, only to be met with none. However the lake looked wonderful and blue, there were no boats out, probably too early for the water people. Fortunately we had enough for breakfast which was just as well because as soon as I returned home we had our weight exercises. We had continued with these for quite a while as I was determined to get rid of my chicken arms. Some days they look to be tightening up, others times they still look stringy.
The session that Kelli picked out was a twenty minute dumbbell workout with body movements as well. That is challenging for me as I lack coordination, and the desire to do any movements that could antagonise my weak knee. My eight pound weights were certainly put to good use, up, down, across, and out, it feels like hell. As the final exercise finished there is still the accomplishment of still being alive, that in itself is a positive.
We had the usual outing to the supermarkets, but the added excitement( sarcasm) of going to Plato’s for yet another selling of unused clothing from Kelli’s tardis-like closet (more sarcasm) it did give me the opportunity for another coffee, and the opportunity of hitting an old lady who had forgotten to ask for syrup in her coffee. This caused a delay that I had not factored in to my already tight schedule. I had thirty minutes to leave Plato’s, get to Starbucks, order and drink my coffee, nibbling at my blueberry scone between slurps. This delay used up several precious minutes. I certainly would have got really annoyed if they put the wrong syrup in altogether. I did calm down eventually, I set my timer and devoured my beverage.
I returned to Plato’s with three minutes to spare, this of course is a self imposed timing, designed to stop Kelli walking around the store picking out things she would then try on and eventually purchase. I think I did well, she didn’t buy anything.
Another Lifetime to go
