The weather
has remained cool this week, mid 40’s at night, mid 60’s during the day. It is supposed to get back into the 70’s next
week. I’ve inquired of some of the
people who live around here full time and they tell me that December is the “coldest”
month, it starts to warm up in January and goes to hot from there.
We worked
Monday thru Wednesday. On Monday after
work I went to a Norwex products party put on by one of our neighbors. I’m sure I can’t explain it correctly, their
microfiber products are made to use only water to clean most surfaces, relying
on the product to do the cleaning. For
specialized cleaning such as showers, drains etc. they have enzyme and microbe
products that clean without odors rather than using chemicals. I’m interested in this because Greg has
allergies and in our small space using chemicals to clean really bothers
him. I bought a couple of things to try,
if they work out I will get some other things.
The products are expensive, but if you don’t have to buy chemicals to
work with them I think we will save money and space in the long run – we’ll
see. I followed the party with an hour
of line dancing.
On Wednesday
I was supposed to go to a quilting meeting and to take some kind of “goodie” to
share. I had a cheese spread and
crackers ready to go but by the time the meeting came around I was too tired to
go. Greg didn’t mind standing in for the
quilting ladies to sample the cheese spread J.
Thursday
afternoon we had our session with a trainer at the new fitness facility. We didn’t get as much out of it as we were
expecting. Maybe we were expecting too
much. Today we went back and worked out on
our own using the knowledge we had from past experiences at fitness centers, I’m
feeling it this evening.
We’ve found
a chiropractor that a lot of the people here at the resort swear by. He has sponsored a couple of our Thursday
coffee and donut meetings and after he spoke people around us were talking
about how good he is so we decided to check him out. When Greg was working it was just too hard
for him to go through a regimen of adjustments to get his back in better
shape. And then, when we were traveling
it still didn’t work out. But, since we
are going to be here for a good while we can fit it in. He had x-rays done today which confirmed disc
compression in his lower back. We picked
a moderate plan of treatment which we will combine with exercises we can do at
the fitness center. We talked to the
chiropractor today about one exercise stand in particular and a stretching
station, he was pleased that those were available. He also suggested that an inversion table
would be good. Not sure where we would
put one of those. We’ll try out the one
daughter Amanda has back in Indiana before we commit to buying one.
