A walking we shall go...well not we, just me. I cannot seem to get Gilligan interested in taking a walk. ( I know exactly how that would play out too..me calling for him as he dashes off after the first scary noise.) Yes, I splurged, me the big spender, on a $20 MP3 player. The ear buds are not very comfortable simply because they are almost the same design and size as my ear bud at work, and frankly my ear needs a break after wearing it for days. But, it will do, and I have download songs from my computer onto my player and I am ready to go.
I had a practice run with the player while doing a small shop at Wally-world today. I was constantly stopping myself from dancing, which brought some weird stares, but know what? It was probably the most enjoyable food shop I have ever had as it tuned everyone out..store noises, screaming babies, announcements. I also wore it doing my oh so favorite job of laundry, and did dance in the laundry room, LOL! Oh well, so I am viewed as the mildly strange women in the fourth apartment, I can live with that.
It looks to be a decent day tomorrow, so I am planning a walk around the neighborhood outside the apartment complex. My only concern is West Virginia drivers, and that is a legitimate concern. (This is the only state I have ever lived in where drivers seem to think that when making a left turn they have the right of way, and that red means go fast and run it. Mostly I believe they are just very inattentive.) The weather is very mild for February..still. It really does feel like the year without winter. I wonder if we will bypass spring and go right to summer as well.
If tomorrow you see a woman walking with a spring in her step and mouthing words to a song, that would be me. I may be out of practice in fast walking, but thanks to my job my legs are pretty much in very good shape. I'd like to be able to tell the doctor (with the one track request) that I am at last getting decent cardiovascular exercise. I may only see him once a year, but he tells me the same thing each time.
I know from past experience that exercise will increase the energy I feel and not decrease..and hopefully allow decent sleep too.
good nite all,

Tired of hibernating in the apartment.. :-)

I agree that Gilly would not make a good walking partner!
Be careful and have fun!
Love, Mel
