6,809 steps yesterday. 

I had to unload 4 tall bookshelves so they could access the wall to check for structural damage.  They ended up looking from the bathroom side so now I have to reload the bookcases.  I worked a lot yesterday, sorting and loading.  I am going to get rid of a bunch of the books.  Today my back is really hurting so no book sorting today.  Really need to pace myself on this!

Woulda been mighty nice if they'd have checked all their options before making you unload the bookshelf!

Yeah, the adjuster allowed money for someone to unload and reload, but the quote came in higher that what I was paid so I did the job.  But if they had told me they could look from the bathroom side, I wouldn't have done it at all!!!  >:(

I haven't been posting here because I haven't been doing much. I will be starting with gym regularly from today. I must say you guys are doing pretty good.

5253 steps yesterday.  Yeah Barbara, I need to pace myself also but I want to get this done so sometimes you just have to do what you can.  The last couple of days it hasn't been a problem with my knees but it is my back.  I think too much bending over to get stuff.

7,153 steps yesterday.

Not feeling really good.  The air quality is really bad due to the smoke and I am still stressed over the whole tree/repair situation.  At least it is quiet!!

9,014 steps yesterday. 

Lots of  ~ cat ~ in lap today so probably not as many steps today.

Well, I thought I posted this morning but I guess I hit the wrong button.  6614 steps yesterday.  Not great but I am giving my back a rest.  Reaching into boxes and lifting stuff out has taken a toll.
Barbara, bummer about the smoke.  We don't have any here right now but it can be bad.  This place is kind of in a hole and smoke from fires sometimes seems to funnel right in here.  Hope yours clears out sooner.

Finally, I'll be going to the Gym today. Will let you know how it goes. It's been a while and I'm a bit rusty, but, have to start some day, and what better than today.

12,875 steps yesterday.  I think that is a new record for me since I broke my hip.  I went to the old house yesterday and got more stuff so  lot of trips from inside to out to the car.  I can't carry large boxes so it is a lot of trips with small boxes of stuff.  I'm surprised at how many steps I accumulated but it shows me that I can do it.

7,606 steps yesterday. 

Lots  of  ~ cat ~ in lap and not feeling good from the smoke. Not much  ~ cat ~ today so maybe a higher step count.

Sure, but it hurts  :-[

In the words of my Sarge, back in Saudia "No pain, No gain".

You can guess that I did go to the gym yesterday and I'm hurting all over. Sweet pain, but pain.

11,343 steps yesterday.  Another surprise but just moving a lot of stuff from here to there adds up.  This morning my knee is really complaining so I don't know how it will go today.

9,534 steps yesterday.

The only good thing I can say about the smoke is tha it is creating a layer between the sun and keeping temps cooler...
