Post Isolation Diary: Today Maggie, Adam, Fig, and I went to the zoo. And this is enough ‘out and abouting’ for me for awhile, coupled with my several forays yesterday. Back to home base. Back to the safe pod. And…..the perfect time to finish my tax prep. Sigh. (I meant to stop posting but the underlying condition is still with us.)

Going to the zoo would have done me in.Nancy W.
Going to the zoo sounds wonderful! It’s still freezing here, but I’m going to get into my down jacket and force myself out for my daily walk, which I’m getting pretty sick of, but, as of now, there’s nothing else to do. And being outside is somehow therapeutic.Ruth Silveira
Nancy W. I have been doing dance exercise to the same record for almost a year now. And some days it’s sort of a chore and some days it’s fun. I was thinking just today that dancers (not that I am one!!!) in long running shows probably feel this way, too. Sometimes I am thinking ‘this again’ and sometimes I’m thinking ‘this is fun’. And sometimes I am thinking about something else altogether and am on automatic pilot. I honor you for being consistent with your daily walk.Nancy W.
Wish it were still a daily run, but I got so slow, there’s no point. At least I get outdoors. 48 years of running not bad, though. Thanks, Ruth! I honor your daily dance routine! What’s the record? Sounds like fun.Ruth Silveira
Nancy W. I used to run. Long ago. I stopped because I felt running on the streets was hard on my hip bones. As to this record, I think this must have been one of my parents records. It’s called High Fiesta and has 12 pieces for different dances-… like cha cha, tango, waltz, fox trot, and mambo, samba, and a march. And, just as additional information, I found the perfect record to accompany my tai chi form: The first 2 movements of Dvorak’s String Quartet in F, OP 96.Nancy W.
I love that quartet!
