  1. 30 minute Zumba DVD with light weights.
  2. A fraught workday. 10 minute yoga video before bed, very soothing. (Day 6/30)
  3. 20 minute bodyweight circuit. Do side planks ever get any easier? It's been years... usually only weekly, but still.
  4. My upper back gets that way on rare occasion; getting a picked up hug from behind is usually a successful method to crack it.
  5. 20-minute YouTube total body workout with light weights. Very grateful to whomever mentioned POPSUGAR. So far this is the only one that clicks.
  6. The sad face is because I can empathize with dog drama. Keep walking! Darn dogs.
  7. A quick 10-minute full body Yoga flow with Kassandra. (Day 5/30, good for busy days)
  8. 20 minute bodyweight circuit - which is when I really resent my body weighing so much.
  9. 20-minute YouTube total body workout with light weights.
  10. Nachos, Thai Noodle Salad, Shrimp Ring Watched The King ❤️
  11. https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/58444/ruths-red-lentil-and-potato-soup/
  12. Check her resting heart rate. If it is high, I would be pushing.
  13. Ok, I know it's not funny but that made me actually LOL.
  14. This is a family favourite. We eat a lot of game meat. I would encourage a child's interest for sure, but agree that Christmas dinner is maybe putting a lot of pressure on, if your family is not used to game. What about Christmas Eve, Boxing Day or as a side dish? Game Pie 2 lb stewing meat, coarsely diced 1 med onion, chopped 1-4 cloves garlic, minced 3 Tbsp oil 2 c. water 2 Tbsp Worcestershire 1 tsp each Marjoram, Thyme, Celery seed 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp pepper 1 Bay leaf 1 lb diced potatoes 1-3 diced carrots 2 Tbsp flour 1/2 c. peas Two-crust Pie Shell Saute meat, onion and garlic in heated oil in large skillet or saucepan until meat is browned. Add water, herbs, Worcestershire, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cook 20 minutes or so. Remove bay leaf, make a slurry of flour and a little water and stir in. Boil gently until mixture thickens. Add peas. Line dish with pie crust. (I find this recipe works better in a 9x9 with 2/3 pastry for bottom shell, 1/3 for top, but there is likely enough filling to do two pies otherwise, at least when we do it.) Cover with pie crust, flute edges, cut slits in top. Bake at 425 for 20-35 minutes until nicely browned.
  15. Someone I grew up with wrote one for 2020, Back to Christmas, that I've been listening to a lot lately. Captures that nostalgia. He's got a nice set here: https://ryanmcallistermusic.bandcamp.com/album/back-to-christmas
  16. People in our local communities *were* planning these sorts of things. Our PHO shut down all seasonal activities, including outdoor venues. The only exceptions are food related: farmers' markets (but nothing crafty just food) and a couple local groups can still prepare free Christmas dinners for pick up/delivery. It's a little head scratching, particularly for those of us who live in less densely populated areas. And I too feel the need to apologize for adding a note of negativity. I hate to amplify it when positivity is already difficult. It seems ungrateful. It's not like decision-making at this time is going to be easy.
  17. My hair looks better if I only wash it 2-3 times a week. I shower with it in a bun, and use dry shampoo as needed in between washes.
  18. I remember that. I hadn't heard the rest of the story. That is just horrible!
  19. I'm starting to think that, as with puberty and pregnancy, mid-life hormones can be more disruptive than anticipated. The severity of the disruption may call for short-term chemical assistance, may answer to other changes, or may just be endured. It's hard to know with no firm end-date in sight.
  20. I recently gave up on The Master and Margarita, but you guys are inspiring me. I searched Spotify podcasts and found a few on that novel, so perhaps with some help I may try that again this winter.
  21. I hear what you are saying about "Accept". I like "Flow" or "Adapt" better. Maybe "Maneuver"? It infers some agency even as you are caught in the uncontrollable current.
