July 16th Update

Summer has finally settled in Saskatchewan!  None too soon for me and all of the rest of my news for this week is positive as well.

Our garden is showing signs of growth.  I took a few photos last Sunday and tried to repeat them this past Sunday as well.

Molly is thriving despite the heat that she is unaccustomed to.  Dan has been taking her to the park before it gets too warm out.  Her friends have been going earlier than usual as well, so it’s all good.   Yesterday, we took her for her annual vet checkup.  She passed every test with flying colors.  Her weight is a perfect ninety three pounds and her teeth are clean and white. (Yay Greenies!)

As for me, all is going well!  I have not missed a single Monday thru Saturday morning aerobics since the beginning of July.  Even more impressive, I have not missed a single Monday, Wednesday, or Friday afternoon strength training session.  I have also been clearing my lungs with my Aerobika (morning and night) and have been using my neti pot at least a couple of times a week.  And… I have been getting a decent amount of sunshine and fresh air each day.

All of this consistent effort has kept me healthy despite the fact that I spent an evening at our new urgent care centre last week (supporting Maddy who had a severe bout of the flu and a brutal ear infection).  The next night I was doing likewise at the Pasqua hospital with Jennifer.    Fortunately, they are both pretty much recovered with only minor lingering effects.  And YAY for me, I did not catch anything from them or from anyone else at either health center.

There’s not much else to report on.  I have a Spirometry test with my respiratory therapist on the twenty-fifth of this month and I am celebrating my sixty-ninth birthday on the twenty-sixth.    My goal is to keep nailing my workouts, keep healthy, and crush both my spirometry and my birthday. 😁

Take care and have a great day! 💞🌞

  18. Ahh, yes. Nice!
    At least you have some shade to keep everything from getting too much sun.
    We made the mistake this year by putting out Tomatoes and Peppers in pots on the pavement which got too hot and they didn’t do very well. Good thing we have backup in the greenhouse! Lesson learned.
