Not really a workout but spent most of the day cleaning the house. Lots of up and down. I bought a new washer and dryer so I need to clean out crap to get the new ones in.

Lots of running but not in a good way.
My dad had a stroke so back & forth to hospital.
Trying to fit in work that is in the opposite direction.
Finally found out they are going to keep him for 2 weeks in intensive physical therapy.... hope it works.
He has no movement in right arm or leg.
But I’m hopeful at this pointy.

We are saddened. Even a good life is hard. You and your father have our prayers.

Snow coming here as well, downgrading it some but still calling for sleet and ice.... yuk
Managed to get a day to catch up on some sleep, I probably should have gone to work but didn’t.
Going to go see Dad today before the storm.
He can make a fist but can’t raise it up. Hoping he surprises us one of these days. He also has some blood in his urine, they did a cat scan and there isn’t any cancer or growths. So that’s good.
He’s there till the 30th now, the gave him another week.
So it’s wait and see, hope for the best. In the mean time no real Workouts for me other than burning the candle at both ends.

do not forget to take care of yourself, or recriminate about doing so. if you go down, who takes your place ?

so tell us, if they give you a minute to yourself, what you are doing to take care of yourself. should be somethings you schedule in and do. relaxation - meditation - prayer ?
maybe a walk to get some exercise with relaxation ?
