6,058 steps yesterday.

Still in search of that day of rest. Laundry and a small bit of residual snow removal, enough to keep me moving back and forth quite a bit.

Today is gathering garbage. I want to go through spare bedroom and see if there are tings I can toss. Starting some Spring clearing out.

I did take it easy and didn't count and it felt good to relax for a day.  So much that I am going to do it again today!

I try for a day of rest many times. Thing is my phone is always in my pocket as my "Help I've fallen..." device. I don't look at that app at all during the day to see where I am stepwise, so at the end of the day the "count" is just automatic...me "resting". Though it never ends up feeling or looking like rest...

5,503 steps yesterday.

Garbage to road and a grocery run with a stop at Country Store to replace my lost winter gloves will be adding to steps. Mostly, I plan to rest while the weather is permitting it!

Another day of taking it easy but I am back to walking for steps today. 
I carry my Fitbit in my pocket to count steps and my Apple Watch is my "help I've fallen" device.  It will notice a fall and is able to be used as a phone and is always with me. My problem with the phone is that I sometimes would forget to carry it and it sat on my desk.

7,368 steps yesterday.

Ended up with 4 stops on my errands yesterday, including two different grocery stores. Had to search around in the other 2 of them looking for what I wanted, adding more steps than I originally thought for the day. Bought some great gloves though and yet, the missing ones stay missing..... sigh.

4115 steps yesterday.  Actually thought I would have more as I got my 12 hours of 250+  and did laundry which usually adds steps but I got to 4K so that is good.  Dermatologist appointment today so it is going to be lower.

5,887 steps yesterday.

Finally got a lighter day in. I did get my steps each hour, and one was very high (forgot what I was doing then), but it was a much needed restful day at last. Sure helps when I don't have to be shoveling snow!!

Nothing on agenda today. Even so, something always manages to crop up....

4931 steps yesterday.  I was surprised to get that much and even managed to get all 12 hours of 250+ steps in also even with my doctors appointment.  I had to drive all the way to the other side of town, a whopping 3 miles  ;D
It is nice to live in town a lot of the time.

No question about that! I'm about 5 miles out of my tiny town, unfortunately I have to drive up to Missoula for any drs/dentist/medical procedures and even really good grocery and misc shopping. That is why  I do a lot of Amazon shopping, however this time of year, the delivery is a big problem for USPS/UPS FedEx always manages to get here though.

I like the quiet and wildlife, besides the kitties, here in the country, so it is a trade off, solitude vs. convenience.

5,770 steps yesterday.

Fairly quiet day yesterday. Did some checking of a few coolers and found several had ice inside below the straw, others were fine. Guess some have leaks. Emptied one but it was late afternoon, too late to do all the ones needing switching out. So project for today is check every cooler and see which ones need total refreshing. I'm going to mark the ones that have ice so I know which ones to keep an eye on from now on.
