Happy Columbus or Indigenous People’s Day


My trust and belief is in the Native American version of who discovered what but either way, it’s still a Monday.

No tea to report coming out of Friday’s bingo because I got my days mixed up. Bingo isn’t until this coming Friday.

I’ve been doing that a lot lately … getting my days mixed up. Which confusion can easily be avoided by checking my daily planner but, thinking I know what I’m doing, I forget to check it.

Oh well, there being no bingo this past Friday was a gift because, after that morning’s workout, I was so stiff and sore that I probably would not have made it down to the Community Room.

Trainer not only continued with incline training that day but had me doing pull ups for a full body workout in between sets.



It’s not as easy as it looks and, when I say full body, I mean FULL BODY. The movement is designed to reach and tone everything everywhere — ergo, stiff and sore.

Trainer has also warned me to not expect the treadmill to be in the same location when I show up this morning.

I’ve lost track of how many times the treadmill has been relocated, but whatever.

Over the weekend, I spotted Karen out gleaning the grassy knoll for tree droppings.

I didn’t see her cat, which means she’s complying with management having pointed out complaints and possibility of a lease violation for allowing her cat out without a leash.

I did notice she’s dyed her hair black.

Big mistake.

The dark color makes her look like the witch she is.

After more years of being dormant than I can remember, it appears my metabolism has mysteriously returned to life.

It was a few weeks ago, seeing my leggings sagging a little in the butt area, I decided to get on the scale. Lo and behold, I was down pounds and inches when I took my measurements. This morning’s scale check indicates weight is continuing to fall off.

However, looking at the down to skin and bones condition of my legs, I’m wondering if I’m losing too much weight.


But seriously, I was planning to wear skeleton leggings to the upcoming 5K. However, this purchase was misleading — they are not leggings, they are stockings and arrived with a run in them, so I’ll be returning these and participating costume less unless I can get skeleton leggings elsewhere, quick fast in a hurry.

  1. Mysterious weight loss? Might be a good idea to have a doctor check it out. There, that's my nosy buttinski advice for the day, lol!

    1. Good luck to me in getting my doctor, or any doctor under my provider, to check out anything. All they do is push pills and, talking to others, I'm not finding a better alternative for better medical care.

  2. I do believe the sign is more correct then what we were taught in school.

  3. I suspect your weight loss is related to your increased gym workouts.

    1. You may be right. That plus I'm eating less gluten-free products. Whatever the reason, I'm happy to see the scale go down after such a long dry spell.

    1. I was bummed because I ordered them well in advance to receive for the 5K and they were advertised as "leggings". Oh well.

  5. Well fiddle foo. Columbus day? That means the credit union will be closed. Now those checks that have been sitting around for a couple of weeks will have to wait another day.

  6. Columbus was a racist murdering slave trader who couldn't have found America as there were already people living here.

    I will support Indigenous Peoples any day!

  7. Sorry your leggings bones had a crack in them. Might want to use a paper calendar. I can't trust the cell phone calendar. Linda in Kansas

    1. What's sad about getting my days mixed up is the fact it is a paper calendar, a daily and monthly calendar designed to keep me on track at a glance.

  8. Oh dear. Sometimes I cross off past days with one slash diagonally so I know what day is next at a glance. Confusion is easy when you work Friday, Saturday, and Sundays, and Monday feels like your Saturday, and Friday feels like a Monday. See how that happened? Linda in Kansas
