Back at work, and gym didn't quite go as planned. My Actifit Report Card: July 21 2026
Let's start with walking the dog in the morning. Things were pretty much back to normal. No more swim meet and no more crowded parking lot with people parking on the grass because of lack of space.
Same area but one day difference. Yesterday it was rainy and super crowded with cars. Today it is empty and hot and dry. Actually very hot. Yellow heat alert warning for the area.
I also stopped and picked some blackberries. I wish I could get some of the better ones sitting on top of the bushes but unfortunately blackberries have huge thorns and they are up high so I just have to admire them from afar.
And one thing that walking every day and posting every day has taught me is to look at the beauty and new things every morning. Today I had to take a moment to look at some flowers. Now usually the ones at the beginning of spring are the best because they break up the winter and show that the snow and cold is leaving. In the middle of summer? The spring blooms are gone so it is kind of nice to see some other things flowering :)
And while I'm mostly retired ... This week one of my co-workers is on vacation in Hawaii so I've been asked to cover a couple shifts. No problem, its nice having a little money come in every now and then. Unfortunately when I got off work and went to the gym it was really crowded. I tried to get a workout in, but it was going to take forever to hit all the machines waiting for other people....
So I just went home and said... I'll keep up the gym work on Wednesday (my next regular workout day). Is it wrong to skip a day? Well, its not great. Then again? I have an excuse and I'm sticking to it :)
Other than that? I got my 11K steps so I'm happy with that and had a chill evening watching some TV and doing some reading. Seems like a pretty fair day to me :)
