A little human interest.....first, I JOINED A GYM!
It’s not easy as my left leg has lost half of the blood flow but I can do an exercise bike pretty good. This past week, heh, I went to ZUMBA CLASS!
I was awful.
Man I thought I could dance but I couldn’t get any of the moves and I had to stop due to leg killing me. The class lasted an hour and I stayed the whole time. One other class attendee told me she could see I had some rhythm with me, that everybody does bad the first time.
Well we shall see. They also offer Piletes, Yoga and regular exercise classes.
Yesterday I made a delightful slow cook meal of stuffed peppers. It involved mixing up a pound of ground pork, some pre-cooked rice (Uncle Ben type), some onions and feta cheese. Pop into the slow cooker for about 8 hours.
Well I went to mass yesterday (that Baptist minister really wants me to join his church, btw “Do you really think that little wafer is really God?” he asks. Well yeah, doesn’t he?).....and I was supposed to turn off slow cooker upon return from church.
I forgot. This morning those peppers had been in that slow cooker for almost 24 hours.
Hey, I will try to eat them.
I don’t know why that Baptist guy wants me so bad, what the hell do I bring to the equation? Three meetings now I’ve had with him, nice meetings, he’s been a comfort, but I am just NOT going to convert....just not going to happen.
And yeah, I do think that little wafer thing is the body of Christ.
Sheesh.
Father Thomas Flowers conducted mass yesterday and he looked so bad I spent the entire mass praying for HIM. My friend was sitting next to me and while I knew right away that Father Tom was ill, when Iris mentioned it I knew it was quite obvious.
He was ashen, at one point, while at the altar he had to ask for help. A couple of times he had to stop for being out of breath.
This is why I forgot the slow cooker for my worry over the priest.
And somebody tell the Baptist minister that I know the bible doesn’t mention anything about priests but I don’t care. Most of them are good people who devote themselves to a noble calling.
Bah humbug.
I joined a gym this week also. Got my own personal trainer (well, he trains others, too).
Then on Wednesday, after training and while out on the tractor, I hit a large tree branch with my head! It knocked me off the tractor seat. I should have seen it, but I had my ball cap on and down low due to the setting sun. What a dumb move!
Anyway, I got a bad concussion. I’m restricted from the gym until next week. Now my head really hurts and so does my ear. Got some good drugs in the meantime from my doctor.
If I say anything weird this morning it’s the drugs, not me!
Fish-try Pilates. It really helps as exercise and movement. I am not sure I could make it through a Zumba class either!
The American people are very forgiving to those whom admit mistakes and attempt to correct them. Trump knows he is not perfect. He knows he is very human. But he is authentic and even Hillary can’t fake that.
