Rain to start this day,
Washes away yesterday,
Bring on the flowers.
First thing I noticed when I woke this morning is that my knee felt a lot better. Second thing I noticed is that it’s pouring outside! Correlation? Perhaps. Except it’s become all too predictable. I’m just always happy when the rain finally gets here because that means my activity level can return to normal! I don’t know the science behind this scenario, only that I believe it has something to do with the pressure in the air before a storm-front moves in.
Another day home, same as yesterday, and the day before that, and the day before that … this is getting old. Cabin fever is beginning to show its first symptoms! At least I’m not the only one in my household! I share this space with my sister Jennifer, my niece Eleanor, three dogs—Biscuit, Pixie, and Axel, two cats—Clare and Janet, and seven chickens—all named after YouTubers! They provide a lot of entertainment to break up the monotony, especially the dogs. I will miss all this excitement when I’m once again in my own home. I already had plans to get one dog, but now I’m upping the count to at least two new canine buddies. I’m going to start stockpiling dog balls now!
From the health front, activity levels are back up as mentioned above! My goals have been to get up and get 750 steps each hour until I get to 10K at the least, but yesterday I think I only got about 5K in. Today is starting off strong as I got 2500 in before 8 a.m.! Step goal is starting out strong. Consumption should be good today too. But Eleanor did make brownies yesterday, so I’ll have to keep my eyes closed as I pass that plate during my hourly walks. I’ll allow myself one tiny brownie at the 10K mark.
