Today being the first Saturday of the month, of an odd-numbered month, it was our turn to help clean the church building.
My body felt cranky when I got up in the morning, but when it moved around a bit, the pain in my hip sockets/top of thighs disappeared. I went down the apartment stairs easily and quickly, and when I was at the church building, I was able to walk fast and carry the vacuum cleaner up and down the stairs to the stage, no problem. Same with the other chores.
Back at the apartment, I mused over what I should do before the rain came. Walk? walk where? Go to the apartment's gym? Work out on my own free weights here? So instead I answered questions on Quora regarding Harry Potter and How do I like my pumpkin pie? and read Facebook.
Later in the afternoon, we went to stores to look at couches, went to Ace Hardware, Lowe's and Home Depot, and to Taco Bell for dinner and Fred Meyer, not in that order. I walked, er, wandered around, looking at Christmas stuff and looking through magazines (did you know you can bake a pecan pie in a slow cooker?) and visiting with one of my former coworkers from Fred Meyer, who is now a cashier and employee of the month at Home Depot.
And so there's where my walking for the day was. If I were to give points for getting exercise today, on a scale from 1 to 10, ten being the nature trail on Pilot Butte or the three mile river trail up the canyon, I'd give it a 2. Maybe a 1.5.
