I’m going to be mostly offline until around May 25th. Barring the really unusual, though, I should be fine. I’ve had the crud that’s been going around, but I scheduled the worst of it to hit over last weekend. I’ve been functioning at nearly normal capacity since then with some self-restriction. I’ll spare you the description of how I feel when I wakeup, but it’s the reason I haven’t returned to the gym this week.

I committed to participate in a Deep Water Aerobics class (if you can call a pool 4′ 6″ deep “deep water”) on Tuesdays and Thursdays this month after work. I made the class Tuesday night. It went well–taking into account I’m a newby, lousy at anything with ‘aerobics’ in the name, and typically don’t like to swim. My orthopedist and my physical therapist both recommended it as the best thing I can do to rehabilitate my knee, so I’m determined to give it a try, and I plan to get a head start before I head to Alabama next month (where I’ll need to join the YMCA to continue participation). I think it will be fun; it provides a total body workout, and it’s supposed to be good for taking off inches if I stick with it–all those things sound good.

Oh, yeah, why won’t I be here? Hubby’s coming to town on Friday, then after I ship him back home, I have to head down to Alabama to look for a place to live.

Stay well, get well, and do a few things I wouldn’t do–you’ll enjoy life more. See you on the flip side.
