Stanza the second
Sep. 13th, 2020 09:02 pm The congrats are inverse. ...and that had to be one of the strangest text messages I’ve ever sent: “Congrats on your positive Covid test!” I mean, really? Yeah, but since the symptoms weren’t extreme, that allows a sigh of relief. ..and some peace of mind (since this instance wasn’t local).
Nice things are not, because people. So Shelley's at Walmart the other day and has the pleasure of watching a lady simply slip her mask down her face and sneeze. Wait, that's not the punchline: when she got home she was telling a neighbor of the story; his response was, “Well that's just wrong! She should have slipped her mask down and sneezed into her elbow. Sneezing into her mask would be just gross!” (Add to that? I got nothin'.)
No gym? Home is there. With gyms shut down it's been somewhat problematic for all members of the family. Shelley's answer has been to get out and do her walks early in the morning when it's cool and then do time on the recumbent bike we picked up for her to use inside. Our youngest down south has had to hunt high and low to find a place to work out. We got him a bike also and added some resistance bands, but he really needs weights in a gym for a full workout.
I have things set up on the patio outside that I use year round (inversion table, bench/lat setup, recumbent bike, fly/pull setup). I have sunscreen over the top but I still need to watch the outside temperature and also work out between-the-raindrops. The oldest has been traveling across town to use the equipment set up here, but that means he has to get up very early in the morning to get over here and get a workout in before he goes back home to log into his office. ...and yes, heat and fires: next post in this series.
