Jun. 13th, 2013 10:42 amHuh. Missed a day here...
Day 7: Out the door at 6:35 a.m., 56F. Sunnier this morning. Found a poor cold bee on the sidewalk; didn't want to damage it by trying to move it, but I gave it some wet blades of grass so it could get a drink at least. Hand forms, a little self-defense practice (just some of the maubu/gungbu stuff, not the defense from front punch stuff), tai chi.
Kinda mixed the slow in with the fast, as a way to work out some stiffer muscles without actually having to stop and stretch. Also, one of the neighbors was in the parking lot for a few minutes, so I figured moving slower would be less alarming. Only 40 min. today, busy day today.
Cleaned bathroom yesterday (Tuesday), lot of work there. Started cleaning kitchen Wednesday.
Lunch with another friend of Mom's, Barbara. Shopping via golf cart. A seatbelt would be nice.
Day 8: Took 15 minutes to get out the door this morning (7:15 a.m.). 50F in the shade but a clear sunny day so I moved over to a patch of sun after a few minutes. This morning's body, after two days of scrubbing surfaces, dictated slower movement. Stretching, wave hands like clouds, grasp the bird's tail. Only went through basic stance form once then opted for walking down/up/down hill on the nearby road. 50 minutes all told. Asthma kicked in lightly this morning on the uphill but has chilled out some. Probably back to kung fu forms tomorrow, but sometimes you have to slow down and heal a bit -- this too builds strength.
Mom's actual b-day is today. Aunt D, Uncle C and cousin C coming over for lunch. Celebrating her birthday with my brothers and niece A on Sunday at eldest brother Kirk's house.
Gotta go; want to do a little more cleaning before lunch.
Have a great day folks!
