4,247 steps yesterday.

Not much going on right now, sort of in between seasons as far as yard work/clean up goes so not as many steps for now. I think deep down I know that I need to back off some in preparation for what is to come in Winter. Right now I shudder at the thought of shoveling snow again!

I need to touch base with my friend and have her come and take home some of her tools she has left in my garage so I can get my car back in there when the snows come. I have to laugh, she has so many tools from her business that everything you can think of is here now from drills, circular saws, compressors, about a hundred small tools and nuts/bolts/nails etc. As she need a tool I didn't have, she'd bring one over and then leave it for future use. It was fine while construction was going on but the big stuff it done now. I just don't want to make her feel bad about all the stuff still here...

3,933 steps yesterday.

Slow step day as I spent most of it going through all my crystals and things to refresh my memory of what I have here.  Hope I have things she will want!

Need to do some vacuuming and a laundry this afternoon. Not much else on the agenda.

5,363 steps yesterday.

I tried to show the crystals in an orderly manner but she kept asking for specific things and looking into trays, so I did a lot of moving around and moving boxes and back and forth in the room. The room is 22' x 14' crammed with shelves and chests and an island in the center with metal racks with trays of crystals. (My last inventory came up with $35,000 my cost. And I'm very willing to let it go for far less at this point!)

At any rate, all the lifting and moving has not done well for my back or knees so I am going to take it easy today!

4,979 steps yesterday.

The crystal lady was here from 10am until about 1:30pm. I am grateful she is finding lots of things she wants, but she is very high energy and really drains me. I kept trying to focus on one area at a time so we know what she has already looked at, but she likes to roam around and peek at other things. At least she promised to give me 24 hr notice from now on when she wants to come over.

All the lifting of flats of crystals and packing them for movement has got my back and knees really flared up. I can't keep doing this so often...

6,434 steps yesterday.

I went to the larger grocery store in town to shop, haven't been there in a while so I walked most of the aisles. Wish is was closer to home, it would be great for walking in the Winter! With a stop at the smaller store and PO I collected a good number of steps while out.

The flip side of the steps and all the activity of the last couple of days is an achey back and knees...

Just puttering around inside. A quick run outside to cover some of the cat beds and boxes before the rain in the evening. I think Millie felt the change in the weather and wanted to sit in my lap a lot yesterday...so of course I let her!!

I think I am going to do some vacuuming today and then more puttering around... Lazy feeling day already and the sun isn't even up yet!!  ~ cat ~

7,970 steps yesterday.

The day was going at a normal pace hanging just at about 4,000 steps by early evening. Then about 9:30PM, I got a call from my friend about doing some small finishing touches on the kitty house. I pace when I talk on the phone and we talked for an hour and a half. We are aiming for Saturday, weather permitting. After the call I checked my steps and was well over 7,000!! Guess I need to talk on the phone more!  ~ cat ~  ~ cat ~

6,467 steps yesterday.

I did a lot of tiding and rearranging in cat's house in prep for putting in the heater. Got a Chewy shipment yesterday so after unloading them, I had some new boxes to replace the older ones that have had a lot of wear. Perfect timing!

So many leaves down now, I may try to get started with the raking too. So looks to be a busy day again.

6,682 steps yesterday.

Lots of steps outside tiding car/storage side of garage and doing some yard work.

My neck is sore again today, it started last night. Probably from the heavy lifting I did yesterday. Hope it goes away soon, I'm going to take it easy today just in case. The only lifting today will be garbage bags.

Took it a bit slower to let my neck rest. It seems to be better today. Still going to baby it one more day.

Lots of steps involved in showing crystals to the crystal lady! Then I went to the drugstore for test strips, the PO to mail my ballot, the grocery store and then Ace for heat tape for the pipes under the house by my water filter. So lots of steps...

Today I may try some raking of leaves, depending on how wet they are from the rain, otherwise I will take it easy.

4,053 steps yesterday.

Mostly took it easy. That was the plan, and my cat kept me to it as she was wanting a lot of lap time!! LOL

Just planning to do some organizing in the house beside refreshing the outside cat beds. Mostly low key activity. My knees have been unhappy with all the steps the last few days. And I listen when they "talk"!! Raking leaves is going to have to wait a few days.

I kept seeing other things I should do outside while I was refreshing the kitty boxes so I ended up working outside more than originally planned. My cottonwoods still have not dropped all their leaves and there is already a huge amount to rake. Maybe this weekend....

5,879 steps yesterday.

The Bone Density scan only took about 1/2 hour so I did have time to do some shopping which gave me some extra steps.

Today, once it warms up, I am going to start the leaf raking. This chore will take days...
