A Short Catch-up Blog Today

Just a short blog today because even though it's only 6:45 am, I'm already running behind. I put the trash and recycling buckets out early this morning, I already showered and put one load into the washer, I caught up on emails and did my dailies on Lord of the Rings Online, but I should already have my blog posted, and here I am, writing it. 

The St Louis Ribs turned out great. Eight hours in the
crock pot on low, then into the oven at 300 F for ten
minutes, with BBQ sauce, then another 10 and more
sauce. Perfection! 

The crock pot ribs were absolutely wonderful. DH loved them! That's a good thing because I have one more rack in the freezer. Maybe next week, certainly by the end of the month. 

I'm still wearing my Darth Vader boot, and
suspect I'll still be using it for a couple more
weeks, although not maybe ALL of the time.
It's worked out really well for me. 

My leg is feeling really good, although I'm not trusting myself to do much maneuvering without the walking cast on. I see the Podiatrist again on Friday morning, and he wants another set of x-rays before giving me a feel for how well things are healing. But I haven't used my crutches in a week, except to get in and out of the shower when my cast is off. I'm pleased. 

I want to get back into the pool when the gym reopens. I really
miss the water more than anything else. But with a 60 minute
limit, it's not leaving a lot of time for a workout if I shower
before and after and get dressed properly. Where can I cut
time corners? 

The gym opens again in 12 days. My major problem is that it's opening an hour later than the previous schedule. That's really going to cramp my time, and, additionally, they are requiring no more than 60 minutes inside for each member. That's also going to be hard. I haven't decided my approach yet, but I'd sure love to be back in the water again. 

Every once in a while, a "catching up" blog is OK. I'll try
to think of something more interesting to say tomorrow - LOL. 

So, that's my catch-up blog for today. It's my "day off" which means I have a million errands and tasks to try and get completed by the end of the day. Good thing I have new bluetooth earbuds for my Sirius. At least I can listen to good music while housecleaning and grocery shopping. 

Have a truly excellent day, stay safe, and be kind. I'll be back tomorrow.
