A few twinges in right knee last evening but so far this morning it is OK. I might need to back off some today, depends on how the morning goes.

My friend called in the morning and asked if I wanted to go for a walk at the Wildlife Refuge with her and her hubby and I said Yes! Turns out hubby decided to stay behind and watch TV, but we had a nice couple hour walk down by the river. I never realized the paths there were paved and easy to walk or I would have done them much sooner. Now I have another place to walk in good weather!

My Cornish game hen in the Air Fryer came out amazing!! I could only cook half at a time but it was the best hen I have ever made. Crispy skin, juicy meat, that is how I will fix them forever more now!!

Still no issues other than a bit of a stiff knee in the morning. A little Aspercreme and getting moving makes it go right away.  If it persists I'll back off some and see if the steps are the problem. I'll see how the day goes....

Yesterday I didn't do much other than some housekeeping chores and my walking. Didn't go anywhere and probably won't today either. Tomorrow I take garbage up the road so will probably run my errands all after that.

Millie cat insisted on a several long lap sessions. I've kind of been putting her off so thought I'd give her what she wanted yesterday. Besides I've had a few twinges of aches in right knee so pulling back didn't hurt me any. Still a number that amazes me when I think about where I was a couple weeks ago!

I had to go to two grocery stores to get the items on my list. The first one is the larger store and I walked every aisle again even though I didn't need anything on each.

Still just mild aches in right knee when I first stand up, but passes as soon as I start moving. So all is still good with this pace.

More Millie cat lap time and more time on the computer researching other sources I might be able to sell my crystals to. Kind of a frustrating occupation.

The crystal lady now wants me to come and give classes at her shop where I can sell some of my crystals if I want. Frankly, not interested in that, been there done that, retired years ago. No interest is starting up anything like that again. I haven't replied to her yet but will have to soon. sigh....

Pretty much just doiing things inside. My friend gave me an old flannel sheet so I cut it up and made a couple more straw stuffed pillow and blankets for the kitty beds in their house. She's bringing me a memory foam pad from her bed that I plan to cut up and cover the platform they have several old kitty beds on that they love. This way the whole platform can be one big bed! The remnant pieces will go into Chewy boxes for individual beds.

Little chores, and walking in the house... that's all for today.

I've been absent from this board, due to my trip. I think I will be starting again today.

It's going to be another very cold frosty day so my activities will mostly be indoors. Everything outside is covered with hoar frost and visibility is not very far. I think I'll hit the shredder today and the ever present laundry!

I actually did hop on the TM yesterday and did a 1 km climb. But my clothing was not really conducive (too heavy) so I gave up after completing the 1 km.

So far so good, I even dozed off at one point in the afternoon with Millie cat in my lap. She was quite content with that!!

Time to go out and feed the cats (7:30am), I'll be glad when it starts getting lighter again in the morning!!

I did do some walking / climbing on the TM yesterday as well, but I'm still not near the stage of recording the data. Just taking it easy.

Tried to get more steps in earlier in the day when I am usually doing more things on the computer. I usually just do the minimum 200/hr until around noon, but I want to steps spread out a little better.

So far no pains, I do notice knees will be stiff first couple of steps when I first stand up after siitting if I sit too long. Another reason to spread the steps out more...

Nothing really planned for the day, but I'm sure I'll keep busy!
