It's amazing how motivated I am now....
Well my hopes of moving almost came to an end last weekend as my Mom was telling me that my current rental budget would only get me something in a bad area ( homeless ppl who are druggies n that means thefts, muggings,and maybe home invasion n sorry but can't get rid of drugs/ druggies once in town), so after a deflated hour of deleting texts between my sister & I, I upped my budget to include an extra $200, found a house/roommate situation and 4 apartments. I have inquired about 2 of the apts, as well as applied for a few more local jobs. Hilo isn't big on doing the reviews on apartments on sites like Apartments for rent or rent.com or even a Yelp, so hoping the 4 I like are in good areas ( at least the 1 w/ the pool also has security)...
I have gotten in quite a lot of workouts ( 3/ wk) and 4 yogas). I am alternating between Gozo and Frost hehe. Today was supposed to be an intense workout but yesterday's shoveling of heavy, wet snow of 6" + a quick NTC workout of 15 mins has me SORE, so I am trying NTC's Athletic Yoga of an hour w/ my guy Collinsworth!
Crime here has been the norm, but quite a few more murders, which the Mayor is trying to use Covid as the scapegoat as a stressor😡😬😤....we had another big shooting scene that made the news for the 3rd year in a row. Last week, Duke Webb, an active Green Beret from FL, walked into Don Carter Lanes, went upstairs to Shooter's Bar and Grill and shot 6 ppl ( 3 of whom died). We also had a guy get shot and killed at a gas station in the middle of the day 3 days later that yeah, didn't make any news except locally...same as the week before then resulting in 5 shootings ( and 2 deaths)..
Good news: I saw a news segment about this vet who makes walking canes out of Christmas trees for other vets and so we are donating our tree as the guy is local:)! I am starting to let certain winter issues 'go' saving me an argument since hey, it won't be my prob in a couple more months...
My Aunt finally got her dog in to see a vet, had bad news but we will see HOW bad w/ a 2nd opinion visit to another vet on Monday ( but at least we got him meds and antibiotics to last for 2 wks).
3:30 PM: Just did Yoga for Sport ( the Athletic 1 seemed hard) and man, it was hard! I am glad I did most of the 3 legged dog rounds ( + variations) for both legs n only quit once w/ 3 moves to go on the 2nd leg before finishing w/ 2 moves. I liked that the cool down was 15 mins, including reverse tabletop and pidgeon poses of a minute each leg. Having to hold the V ups for a few seconds on the lowering part of the exercise, whew, proud I did 9 out of 10....I felt sleepy and now feel noodleish, so that was indeed a workout for 55 mins! Thinking of taking a fat burner hehe ( these have been good btw, no weird effects or anything now, take them on avg 3x/wk)..
Christmas was good filled w/ food, gifts and the like. The day after, a friend surprised me by ordering me Domino's ( bonus social distancing pts I said:)), my Mom treated us to Pamcakes one night a couple weeks ago & since we are getting our crappy stimulus amount ( Trump didn't fool me w/ that video, he knows Republicans won't go for $2K, otherwise this would have gone through back in May when it was also SHOT DOWN by Trump even), I am treating my family & I to lasagna and fish basket for me tonight from the place up the street...
