Get vaccine Spend 1/2 hr. on taxes Make 2 Valentine cards Lunch with co-worker Track all food Devotion Make breakfast and lunch for tomorrow Evening routine |

Cathy - I hope you are feeling better today!
I thought I had posted yesterday, but I think my whole day was topsy turvy as I did things out of order. I did get groceries, sent some certified mail at the post office, and attempted to return an Amazon item (but was missing a code back home on my computer, oops!). Finally completed a bill payment online which I could NOT get to work the previous day. Did tai chi and online fitness walking classes. Did some laundry, yay! I did not do my evening meditation, which I guess was OK, I just fell asleep, LOL!
Tuesday possibilities:
--abs and knees ✅
--Cardio Dance class ✅
--Circuit training (I skipped this yesterday) ✅
--reconcile bank acct. ✅
--fold laundry ✅
--decluttering x 15' ✅
--taxes x 15'
--sync phone
--evening routine ✅
--meditation ✅
Be well!
Carol

Good Afternoon! I seem to be on an every-other-day posting schedule, LOL! The whole evening yesterday was taken up by a Zoom meeting, our monthly computer club. It was fun chatting with people...but I do miss socializing in person!
Ooh, fresh pasta, yum! I love pasta but never tried making the pasta myself. I remember when I was very young, my grandma used to do that occasionally. She would hand crank the linguini on a contraption and it was very tender. One time she made gnocchi, but that was more of a hand-pressed thing and it was very dense.
Thursday possibilities:
--abs and knees ✅
--practice Tap for a few minutes ✅
--FitSteps ballroom dance ✅
--refill bird feeder (they really are going to town on it!) ✅
--shovel snow from around my car ✅
--cello lesson ✅
--decluttering paper
--evening routine
--meditation

Wow, I didn't get a chance to post yesterday and it's already 5:23 pm and I am just posting. I spent the day working on taxes and trying to make a meringue strawberry cream roulade. You bake a meringue (which I have never done) then put cream and strawberries in it and roll it. I have made a swiss roll one time in December when I made my first yule log so I thought I would give it a go. I had to throw out my first meringue because it was too dark on the outside and to raw on the inside. The second one looks better and is now chilling in the fridge. I'll let you know how it comes out. Wanted to make it for Valentines Day. My orecchiette pasta came out great. It took a lot longer than expected (which always happens) but shaping pasta by hand is very calming to me. My next try will be raviolis if I have time this week. Weekend possibilities Make roulade Work on taxes Mail cards (my friends are used to getting cards late) Fill rx containers for the week Virtual WW meeting Devotion Online church Evening routine |
