Friday, Sept. 30: Nothing. Up at 4:30, out the door by 7:30, arrived at former home by 1:30, walked through ruined rooms, investigated storage bin (still not clean & the crew has left their cleaning supplies inside it). Retrieved porcelain jardinieres from neighbor. Picked up drycleaning. Went to Trader Joe's (which I have sorely missed), then to hairdresser, then back to the complex to pick up jewelry, coat, four antique quilts, rolled-up Aubusson carpet, papier mache table and chair, tilt-top table, sewing stand with the carved base, Art nouveau screen. To grocery store for prepared meals from their deli section. I got broccoli rabe and a lentil salad. Then motel, to eat, watch TV uncomprehendingly & crash. No exercise.
Saturday, Oct. 1
60 minutes Stairmaster stepper, resistance at five, with me grabbing the hand rails occasionally for balance but mostly hands-free. I'd been cooped up in the minivan for much of the day and wanted to move. I can't figure out the foot placement on this machine yet. Should my feet be centered? Should I push with heel? Or ball of foot? On the elliptical, I try to push with my heel, but this is an entirely different movement.
And whoops, I realized it's a new month. This really belonged in an October thread.
