Hello Everyone!

Before I forget again, here's what I've been doing since September.



I don't know why exactly, but I come home after 3 hours of sewing and ironing with horrendous pain. Walking on concrete floors maybe? I dunno... but I'm not quitting until we have a steady stream of 200 lap blankets a month.

We've had three sessions so far, and 4 more are scheduled. Next up is the veteran's art center, then the U, then another church and two places in the next big town over.

Thanks Sue for answering my questions. Darn it all, I was leading myself down a rabbit hole that made cigarettes a good immune system depressant. Yes.... very silly but I almost went there?!

Lon & Steve, I am a soooo with you guys for the 1/2 marathon as long as I can ride my trike!

I've been back to the gym for the first time in 7 years and it's so fun! The first time I tried it my sacrum blew up like a balloon, and I got bruises leaking out from my toes, ankles, and knees. Yes I know that doesn't sound fun, but it gets better. Now, after going 3X per week, I can do the elliptical for 15 minutes on the lowest setting and the recumbent bike for 15 minutes. No bruising lately. I think maybe my entheses points had to loosen up or something. Still swimming laps e/o day at the university. I tried the pool at the gym, but the chlorine/heat made me sick with flu-ish symptoms for two days after. Now I'm putting coconut oil on before the university pool to try and keep the chemicals away as much as possible. So far so good.

Go TEAM! clap
