CRAP CRAP CRAP!


List of Closures Effective Immediately

CALIFORNIA IS CLOSED YET AGAIN.
While we were open, I managed to get my hair done but didn’t manage to secure a dental cleaning appointment so crap, crap, crap.
Not to mention this means the Pain Cave is closed again.
It hardly seems fair since the hairdresser and fitness centers were not the problem. It’s all these idiots refusing to mask themselves, having Covid parties, pool parties, drinking in bars, attending No. 45’s events without wearing masks or distancing from other idiots at the events — and maybe just maybe all those protestors in close proximity to each other as well. At any rate, because of whomever, I can’t workout or get my teeth cleaned.
I really don’t think the Pain Cave can survive a second closure, so crap crap crap as I was doing so well.
I’d just graduated from the little ball to the big ball.



My knees are so much stronger that I no longer have to be seated in a chair to work the ropes. I can do them standing and now have sufficient upper body strength to work the ropes correctly.


It just isn’t fair that those of us trying to do things right, must suffer because of the self-privileged few who believe the new normal does not apply to them and those who STILL think this is a hoax.

  1. I love all the videos of the arguments in stores about masks.

    1. Nut jobs having temper tantrums, losing their jobs and reputations. I wonder if there's true regret once they see themselves online and know family and friends and future potential bosses and acquaintances will see this unflattering portrait of them for like forever because what's posted to the internet stays on the internet.

    2. Meant to say that you have convinced me that I need a personal trainer too. If I see the other side of the Pandemic, I'm going to sign up to.

    3. Good for you! You won't believe how much better your body begins to feel but, to avoid injury, be careful to find a trainer with knowledge and experience .. not one of those kids they push you into hiring at the gym.

  2. I am very impressed by your fitness videos, I had never seen exercises like those and especially not with the ropes. Also amazed that your knees are stronger, so many people in our age group have had knee problems ( and replacements), I never realized that knees could be strengthened. Our daughter and son in law do indoor rock climbing , up to 60 feet high. When their gym opened up again last week, they were shocked at how they had lost strength in their arms. They had to return to the easier walls! The old story of " use it or lose it".
    I agree, it's just so frustrating that folks are being so careless and undoing the effort most of us are making to stop Covid 19.

    1. The exercises are not as easy as they look. You should have seen how poorly I performed a year ago. LOL. So not easy, but fun. And there's such a feeling of accomplishments when I do well. As for the knees, Trainer's theory was to build up the muscles around the patella. It's working because knees haven't hurt in ages. "Use it or lose it" is what I'm worried about now that there's a second shut down because I noticed a difference in stamina and strength after the first shut down.

  3. *Sigh*. Another reminder that I better start walking and exercising again. Been afraid ever since I took a tumble on July 2, smashed my nose on a sidewalk.

    1. LOL. I know how you feel. I have days when I'd rather sit on the couch than workout, think life at my age shouldn't be this hard ... that it's necessary for overall health that I work out, but then I put on my big girl panties, head out and enjoy the session. The first step is the hardest ... getting dressed, heading out. LOL.

  4. The dentist offices in Fresno are still open and operating. Check with yours.

    1. You were right. When they shut down it was said they'd contact us, in order of the appointments we lost, but evidently that's not how it works now that open. I called and got set up for next Friday, the 24th ... so if the world doesn't end on the 22nd, as predicted by that cult mom Lori Vallow who killed her kids and took off to Hawaii with her new husband, I'll be at the dentists office a very early 7AM.

    2. I'm glad to see that you received my comment. When I posted it, the whole thing disappeared and your usual note that the comment was awaiting approval did not appear. Weird things are going on in this time of pandemic! Terry saw his dentist this morning. I could't get an appt till August so decided to just wait until my next regularly scheduled November appt. I guess if the world ends, my teeth won't need cleaning anyway.

  5. didja ever notice how the covidiots are usually white and entitled? who the hell do they think they are????? the hoax shit being spewed by donald dump and his dumplings is only prolonging the virus spread.

    I lift/push/pull weights to combat arthritis and it works. GOOD FOR YOU for sticking with an exercise plan!

    1. Sure, I've noticed, but not surprised. All my life I've seen and experienced the disparity between white and minority lives and how some whites behave when their superiority and the rules not applying to them is challenged. There's a great meme online "Hell Hath No Fury Like a Middle Class White Person who has been mildly inconvenienced." LOL. It boggles my mind that some still think this is a hoax .. that is until they catch it and die, as I've seen recently in the news. You're right about the weights combatting arthritis.

    2. I LOVE that Meme and unfortunately it's so True!

    1. I'll have to settle on the occasional ride on the indoor bike and outdoor walking, when the weather cools down.

  7. I am in Agreement with you 100% and it's disheartening that even now, all these Months in, some refuse to do what needs to be done in order that this doesn't have to be prolonged indefinitely and ruin our Nation! I know this Administration seems Hell bent on the destruction and neglect of our Society, so we must individually do what it takes and not rely on Leaders we can't Trust... who knows what Enemies they've Sold their Souls to? I'm so Inspired by your Workouts, I really am... so keep your resolve and keep being Inspirational my Friend. I have a Dental Cleaning Scheduled but I doubt our State won't have to close down too given our dismal numbers, which are even worse than Cali's... Arizona isn't as populated at Florida, Texas and Cali, but our spread and Death Rate per 1,000 is highest in THE WORLD and that's depressing, since we do everything we should be and it's been futile and for nothing, given the outcome here and how many wouldn't or didn't. Of coarse he held one of his damned Rallies here and we opened far too soon and have a Covidiot Governor who is in The Cult... so that's not been Helpful. I am having major Anxiety about School re-opening, I won't send the Grandchild if they can't make is Safe enough and they don't seem to be able to... and she has Special Needs, an IEP and doesn't do well learning Online... plus The Man and I aren't Tech savvy at all to Help and have been out of School since... well... you know... a very long time ago! *Ha ha ha* It's just a Hot Mess, isn't it, and yet I retain Hope only becoz some Countries have gotten it Right, so if we get Woke, perhaps we could too... mebbe it's not too late?
