I'm back. In fact, I just returned from a neighborhood walk with my trusty 4-legged sidekick Alaska. He's always ready for a walk or hike! I must spell those words if he's not going with me. Kinda funny.
Since the pandemic, I've gained a very reliable walking buddy, my longtime friend Lori, who since retirement has saved her Tuesdays for me. We've known each other for over 50 years! But, we're just two gals who like the woods and so we hike Tuesdays and most weekend days when our kids don't get in the way.
I'm also still dancing! I dance two days a week if I'm lucky. Linedancing is one of life's joys. The gals (mostly) who choreograph these dances and upload them so dancers all over the world can learn and enjoy them for free are better than caped crusaders! If you want to learn one or just take a look, head to youtube.com and search for 'linedancing' or 'slide dancing'. From the Electric Slide to the latest Beyonce hit, there are thousands of dances there you can learn.
This dreary winter, we've suffered a lot of gray days and rain. Cold rain. Slippery mud and slippery leaves. That forces us to 'hike the mall'. And there aren't too many malls. Menards and Home Depot aren't swamped with Christmas shoppers - but the malls aren't either, at least not on week days.
Since I last blogged, I've had a hip replacement (to join my two knee replacements), an emergency appendectomy, and two bouts of Covid (both brief due to my being totally vaxxed). I've recovered from all of that in record time. I amazed my orthopedist and PT with my recovery after hip replacement. I never couldn't do the maximum they required. I was not down for long. Take that!-you bone surgery.
So, if you're reading or if no one's reading, I'll be blogging. If you need motivation to move, have questions about how to get started, etc., this is the place for you. Ask me about it.
FYI, you can search for my earliest blogs 'Walk It Off-A Walker's Rambles' on WordPress.
