Fitness Log #338, Friday Firsts And Fabulousness

I have been keeping track of my exercise every Friday for 6 years, and plan to continue doing so.

Since the pandemic started, I have been keeping track of “firsts,” and more lately, I have been trying to note good things (“fabulousness”). It’s a good way to pay attention and not let life slide by.

A Gratitude Post

This week everything has been knocked off kilter by a huge storm that went through the area. It would be fair to say that everything, including blogging, has not gone to plan.

Today I realized that even though things are topsy-turvy, I have so many things to be grateful for:

  • The storm came through our city, but the huge tree overhanging the bedroom did not crash through the roof.
  • Fallen trees littered the streets, but we can come and go from our street.
  • Our neighborhood did not lose power, though many others nearby have been without, sometimes for days.
  • Mr. PiN was fine with us hosting friends for dinner at no notice. We were happy to offer working outlets so they could charge their various electronics (how did we ever live without them?).
  • When we realized they did not have electricity or hot water, we were able to offer our friends our spare bedroom. After a day’s delay, one of them stayed for several nights.
  • Our guest was excellent company, and had no complaints (or sideways looks) at our disarray, as we had only returned to town a day or two before the storm.
  • We now have the house to ourselves again!

Also grateful it’s not that chilly this week.

Is there anything you are particularly grateful for this week?

FIRE vs OMY, Redux

I’m just back from a national meeting, my first in 6 years.

Spending time away from the office and the inbox, while attending educational sessions, was invigorating. Returning to a week’s worth of messages and to-do’s is not.

Right now, looking at my work load, retirement sounds mighty attractive. However, while I was away, the stock market decided to jump off a cliff.
