Connections, shots, push-ups, kettlebells, France, and demolition
I was really looking forward to the start of today, a google hangout with Denise my principal and a few colleagues. It was absolutely wonderful too see and talk with each other. She updated us on possible learning scenarios, but more importantly it was a time to talk and connect. At the end of our call, she asked us what we missed most of all that we didn’t expect to miss. My immediate answer was my drive to work. Those that know me well know that I hate driving. If someone told me I could travel places without a car, it would be the best news ever! I think I miss the process of leaving my house, working somewhere else and coming back home again. It was fantastic to connect with friends again, I really miss them.
After the conference call, I walked up to the allergists office for my Xolair shot. It worked out just fine. They had signs on the door asking you to not come in if you had a fever, cough or chest tightness. Asthma and allergy patients can sometimes have a cough, so it can be a tad tricky to differentiate asthma/allergy symptoms from Covid-19. This has most definitely been an added stress.
Gavin, the owner of CrossFit Menace has allowed members to check out equipment to borrow at home. After my appointment, I stopped by Menace and picked up a Kettlebell and a MedBall. He disinfected it for me before it came home. I am so thankful for our Menace family.
Today’s at home WOD was push ups, burpees, air squats, sit ups and front lunges. There were 60 pushups and 196 reps of everything else. It took me 33 minutes and Campbell completed the workout in 31 minutes. Matt thought it looked miserable, he wasn’t interested in partaking in the fun.
After the WOD, it was time for dinner. This meal reminds me of our trip to France. We had chicken leg quarters, roasted in a cast iron skillet with potatoes, onions and sautéed carrots. I seasoned the chicken with salt, pepper and herbs de Provence from France. At the end of our first day in Paris, our tour guide recommended that we stop at a butcher for a rotisserie chicken. It was the best chicken I’ve ever had and one of our favorite memories.
We finished up our evening with demolition of the plaster in the hallway. The joys of living in our house is finding old treasures. When Matt pulled off the plaster in our hallway he found old wallpaper. If they only made wallpaper that looked like this…
Good night and stay safe everyone!
