May 9, 2025 – Somehow didn’t get this one posted correctly!

I am just getting in this post, so it is definitely a twofer!

Yesterday, I finally mixed up something using my sourdough starter. I decided to make chocolate chip cookies. The woman we got the starter from told us to use it after it fermented a full 12 hours. I put the starter for the cookies in its special jar and let it go. Today, I made the cookies and they were much better than expected.

Earlier this week I did a foam roller class online. It made my back feel so much better I did it again today. I also walked and did a kickboxing class. I have never worked out this much in a single day before. It was exhilarating. I cannot believe I had that much time in day just to workout.

I had a counseling session this afternoon, but for some reason just felt off. I had a lot to say, but never seemed to get around to it. I think it is the online sessions that throw me off. I prefer meeting in person. “Getting vulnerable” on a zoom meeting just doesn’t have much appeal.

I can’t forget – yesterday I met Tina and Michelle for a drink a Brewbirds. It was a spur-of-the-moment get-together and I loved it. It was so nice to get together and just chat for a couple of hours. I miss having friends. It has been years since I had someone to do things with other than my husband and grandson. Or on the occasional visits with my sisters. I would love to have a local friend!

I am trying to get back on a workout schedule. This week, I have gotten 10,000 steps in everyday. I have gone to kickboxing class twice. I did a step video. I did the foam roller video twice and did a 20 minute weight video. Go me! My 58 year old body is showing its age and I need to do something to spruce it up. I could also stand to improve my eating habits. We have gotten into the habit of eating too much processed food and sugar. Terrible habits to break. I have a goal of using my free time to get in better shape and improve my appearance. Just because I am pushing 60 doesn’t mean I have to look like it!
