But like Lynn, I have let the time slip by without posting.  Have had a work crunch with a number of funerals, instituting a change in liturgy procedure  (Catholics are dreadful when it comes to handling change…), and Christmas planning.  Plus I discovered last week that the musician I was counting on to take my job when I retire has found a job elsewhere.  Good news for him!  But it means doing the whole search thing, probably next year, beginning in the summer or fall.  I don’t look forward to this – I have a fear that NO ONE will ever want my job and I’ll have to totter on forever!  There, that’s my weekly whine…

Here are the steps:

Sat. Oct. 17 – 6677 (3357) – # in () is aerobic steps

Sun. Oct 18 – 8255 (2216)

Mon. Oct. 19 – 12784 (6464)

Tues. Oct. 20 – 5365 (0) – BUT I made it through a killer Pilates class!  Did almost all the exercises…I intend to go back but haven’t yet…

Wed. Oct. 21 – 8799 (4053)

Thurs. Oct. 22 – 5599 (1987)

Fri. Oct. 23 – 9057 (4906)

Sat. Oct. 24 – 9931 (5552) – gym, used treadmill & elliptical for these aerobic steps.  Happy that the elliptical was not nearly as difficult as when I resumed it last year.

Sun. Oct. 25 – 7917 (2082)

Mon. Oct. 26 – 2453 (0)

Tues. Oct. 27 – 9223 (3428)

Wed. Oct. 28 – 1025 (0)

Thurs. Oct. 29 – 11381 (7723)

Here is my hill - leaves cover the path now - makes for slippery walking

Fri. Oct. 30 – 3635 (0)

Sat. Oct. 31 – 9205 (3404) – decided to boycott Hallowe’en and fled to the nearby Wegman’s where serendipity led me to a guy speaking French who has put me in touch with the local Alliance Francaise.  I thought it was defunct but no, just disorganized!  so I am going to an Alliance gathering today for a half hour before I have to conduct choir rehearsal.  I’m excited!  Oh yes, I also did a bit of Pilates at home with a videotape…

Sun. Nov. 1 – 5266 (0)

Mon. Nov. 2 – 6279 (0)

Tues. Nov. 3 – 10220 (5278)

Wed. Nov. 4 – 2705 (0) – on the other hand, my Christmas choir planning is DONE…

But I’m not happy with this record.  Weather change has affected me – I just don’t WANT to walk as much – and the gym does not lure me.  On the other hand, I’ve decided that I will walk after dark (except in the real dark of the moon) since my neighborhood is pretty safe.  So if it’s been a sluggy day, I will just get that walk in late if possible…and not too cold…

this little guy was quite surprised to see me

I’m also missing my old camera – Canon did NOT fix it for free, so I said the heck with it, they can keep it, rather than charge me to mail it back unrepaired.  I’m disgusted with Canon and will buy a Panasonic as soon as I can afford one…

OK, enough griping!  There is SUN today and later I am going for a walk!   We will all adjust to the change of seasons eventually…best wishes to all!
