Okay reality, let’s see how you stack up to that dream.
G’morning!
Hey ☕️ Canis
@LnzyHou hi ya’ and my coffee is brewing. How’s the new living arrangement going (survivor’s guilt notwithstanding)?
Loving it more each day as I get settled in. Critters are a bonus I wasn’t expecting. Taking out strawberry tops for them today.
Found an Applebees yesterday. And Lowe’s.
Love my eastern exposure. So do my orchids.
@LnzyHou @CanisPundit
Morning Linds, pretty view. Nature is soothing in a way nothing else is.
@LnzyHou @CanisPundit
You let it go while you were moving. But you are on it now, just gonna take some time.
Cool here this morning and next week, temps are really dropping further. Bye summer.
NJ folks already into sweats & jackets while I’m still wearing teeshirts & shorts. Admit it was chilly yesterday.
Memories of beautiful NC weather linger on.

Glad you made it out of Asheville before the devastation.
@LnzyHou @CinnamonGirlE “recovery” is a relative term. Aim high and be prepared for negotiations. Everyone has their experiences with pain. I try to keep my definition of the 0 - 10 pain scale as 10 being in need of a medically induced coma, and 0 is dead. Worst ever is not necessarily worst possible.
@CanisPundit @LnzyHou
There simply is no life without pain. As a nurse, I was amazed when people demanded no pain. Well okay, I will do my best to help alleviate that, but pain is part of living. 🤷🏻♀️
Had that same discussion with PT folks yesterday. I see patients come in & refuse to do exercises because it hurts. It hurts because unused muscles are being used again.
My problem is lack of patience. I push too hard much to their chagrin. I want it all fixed NOW.
Typical Leo.
@LnzyHou @CinnamonGirlE @CanisPundit
That damn chagrin, always getting in the way.
@LnzyHou @CanisPundit
Yes, this Leo has a sore shoulder and knee I am giving a break this week. All because I pushed too hard at the gym. It's feeling better today. Then back at it, just not quite as hard.
Leo twins. I insisted on using pulleys yesterday. Only 2 min. Therapist was not happy.
Today we pay.
@LnzyHou @CanisPundit
Hardheaded Leo's indeed. 👯
@CanisPundit @LnzyHou
lol, trust me when I tell you I do. 😂🤣
PS: love how science backs it up. 😉
Yesterday a very elderly woman, hunched over her walker was going out the front door at the same time as me.
As she shuffled through the lobby, there were two people sitting & conversing. I pointed out the manager forbade people gathering in the lobby.
She stood up straight, looked directly at me and said “Fuck em”.
Almost wet myself laughing.
@LnzyHou @CanisPundit maybe she is a Leo too 😂😉
You’re right 🦁

I had completely forgotten that quote. Thanks. Love The Princess Beide ♥️
@CinnamonGirlE @CanisPundit @LnzyHou
It’s one of my Top Five. ❤️📽️
@kellykba @CanisPundit @LnzyHou
Watched it with my kids dozens of times, but I haven't seen it in a long time. Think I will have to put it back on my list.
@CinnamonGirlE @CanisPundit
Truth. The trees are beginning to turn as temps are dropping. Actually had to close the windows earlier.
PT today even though we pushed it hard yesterday. Seems up & down in recovery of those muscles.
