@Kittyzilla: Yeah, I feel like the vaccine is a good start! Even though I'm appalled at some of the things that have come from it so far (doses being wasted, or given to those who shouldn't have been prioritized, for example). My work finally got word on when they're getting the vaccine, and it'll be the 18th (I work in an assisted living and memory care facility). We SHOULD have been on the same level of priority as skilled nursing facilities, but nothing I can do about that.

I haven't thought about taichi, but I'm not really a fan of martial arts. I did taekwondo for a couple years as a child and really didn't care for it. I'm sure that class was pretty uncomfortable. x-x Be sure not to push yourself too hard!

@Kittyzilla: That sounds like a neat exercise, and it's great because you don't have to worry about buying/having any weights! I've considered trying yoga in general, but I have no idea where to start. I know it's supposed to help improve circulation, which is what I really need for my legs. I'm glad you've seen progress with yourself! Those walks sound really nice too, and I hope it warms up for you soon so you can resume them. I'm so lucky to have a community gym that I can go to whenever.

I don't envy people who get sinus infections, so that must have been hell for you.

I should really make myself do art more often. My goal is to do surprise freebies for people since I'm not very confident in my art yet. xD
Good morning Koah!

I'm glad you have friends to work out with. :) I work out with my fiance, and it's nice to have someone else I trust in the room. He tried pushing the gym today, but I wasn't feeling it since we'd already gone Monday and Tuesday. Tomorrow for sure though!

Awww, I LOVE quails! Not that they live here in Florida (that I know of) but I saw a few while in Idaho. I've yet to see one in person with the little feather on their head, but I hope to someday!!

@Kittyzilla: Well by law, you do need a day off in the week, because it's illegal to work all 7 days of the week (at least here in the States, I'm not sure where you live). I hope things turn out well for your coworker though because that's a scary virus to have.

I've kinda been winging it so far. I start with stretches, and then I do a few core workout routines which is based on the floor on a yoga mat. Then I get on the treadmill and walk/jog at least a mile (I'm working my way up to be able to jog the whole way, and eventually get it to a certain time). Also I try lifting 5 lb weights with my arms. So a little of everything. As for time, I usually drop my son off to school about 8:30, so by the time I get back home and changed into workout clothes, I start and finish from about 9-10 am. I can only do that on days that I don't work at 9 am though, since some days I work 11:30-8. So it won't be an everyday type of thing for me.
Good morning Purpsy. :) Cute avi!

@Wildfire: Ohhh, gotcha. Do you know what they're applying for?

Dogs are kinda funny that way. Years and years ago I was walking a family friend's dog, and it was dark out. She sniffed at something and next thing I knew, I had a shrew scurry across my sandaled foot. ;A; 0/10 would not recommend lol.

Yeah I've been kinda winging it with my workout routine so far. Eventually I hope to be able to jog on the treadmill for more than a minute haha. Yesterday I tried and probably didn't last a minute. ^^; But one day!!

@Kittyzilla: Yeah, call-outs can be really draining, both mentally and physically. I hope whenever you get your days off, you can relax and have your spa day like you wanted. :)

lol I hear you there. I started working out this week after years of being pretty inactive, and I'm not looking forward to needing to work out before work. xP But it must be done!
Oooh, applying for a job soon, Wildfire?

And I prefer mental exercise, though I'm proud to say I've started doing physical exercises this week. I've been needing to for a long time, so hope I can keep it up.

I can't stand the thought of living off unemployment. Staring at the same four walls while hardly making anything livable? No thanks.

I know the feels since I've had flip-floppy schedules too. Not too recently, but it's still tiresome.

I'm glad! I'm off this week, and not really looking forward to returning lol.

I've developed anxiety with the dentist lol. Mostly because I hadn't been in years (lack of insurance) so wasn't going anymore. Pretty sure I'm gonna need a root canal somewhere in the near future.
