This is Monday and that means exercise. Mondays are my day to meet with all my senior friends and do a little stretching and a whole lot of walking. Monday is the day that I really have to force myself to get out of the house. I really just want to stay home and catch up on my work. I have lots of work to catch up on. My idea of exercise right now is climbing the ladder a million times as I try to finish the work on the eve of the house. Or bend and standing a million times a day as I weave o my tri-loom. It does not include kick boxing or the samba, or shoulder rolls or walking backwards. But that is what I am off to do in about ten minutes. I really have to push myself out the door especially since the muffler on our car died over the weekend and being inconspicuous is not an option. I rumble and roar down the road and when I put my foot on the gas to accelerate, the rumbling and roaring scares even me. (Although I do have to admit that I fantasize about dragons when this happens!)
Our old truck, which has served us well for the last 8 years is now reaching the age where upkeep is critical. Right now we need to replace the muffler, the high beam headlight on the passenger side, and the power steering hose. The timing chain is giving us trouble and soon we will need a brake job. At 169,856 kilometres this is to be expected. Problem..... we bought a horse and so we just blew $1000.00 on that. It doesn't bode well for repairs on the truck.... I did hope we could get through until next month. Oh well... we just won't eat..... yeah! That's what we will do... I could do with losing a few pounds.
I better go exercise.....
