I’m home, now. My right leg was giving me fits (arthritis in my right ankle and knee) and I just had to come home. The clothes are still in the BB SUV, but that’s OK. I won’t need them today.

I got a pedometer from Fingerhut, and it is a pretty awesome piece of equipment. Tiny, but Bluetooth capable, so when I come in after walking, the info on it is uploaded and extrapolated and I know just how good I have been doing. It’s a feature that WW doesn’t give...what your walking means in real time.

Now I find I wear it all the time except when I’m in bed, of course. When I walk up the hill and back in the mornings (40 minutes) it shows the activity as an optimum, so I know immediately that the effort is doing SOMEthing!

My CD player doesn’t work well when I’m moving, so listening to music is scratchy. No, I don’t have an MP3 player as I can’t afford to download songs. I’m tired of thinking while I walk. I need the music to remind my brain that there is more to life than toil, toil, toil.

I’m glad you made it home! I just put the byos and Kathleen to bed, and I’ll be going myself very shortly.

Sorry about your leg! I’ve done two loads in my newly-repaired washer. *whew*
