Many Ways of Working Out

I rejoined the gym this week.  We've had some walking weather between the rain showers but the pollen is overwhelming so I decided to do my walking inside for the time being.  Starting slow after an inactive winter inside.  I'm trying to exercise my brain too.  Took three books out of the library to add to the three I bought at the library sale.  My sister Susan suggested I try Paperbackswap.  You can trade paperbacks with others for the price of postage; for media mail it's a reasonable cost. I just downsized my home so I'm game to try this.

Son Chris came over for dinner last night. I served chili, salad, rolls, and strawberry/pound cake dessert.  He skipped the chili.  I thought I was past fussing about what he ate.  I didn't point it out.  I excuse myself by thinking I still have some residual anxiety from moving twice in a short time. 

Chris moved the computer cabinet to a better spot and wired everything up for me.  I am still a long way from being moved in.  Those are unpacked boxes in the foreground.  Tuesday the new sofa and a "sofa" table are being delivered.  I haven't put up any of the artwork I have since I'm still not certain where all the furniture will end up.  The decorative writing on the inside of the cabinet doors are lists of customers of son Dave had when he and his wife had the little farm and he raised Heritage Black Hogs.  I tried to get it off with soap, no dice.  Then tried nail polish remover, gag, some came off.  The web says try good old vinegar and water.  I'm thinking though I might just cover those inside doors with fabric to match the pillows I'm planning on making for the new sofa.  Then I could hang a calendar on the doors and a new smaller white board or maybe a cork board.  I still like my non-electronic reminders.

Hope your weekend was good.
