So far so good this morning, I have already done 33 minutes of walking indoor. Then I jumped on my central vaccum cleaner and started working away. Of course, I can only do a little bit at a time, then, need a break. I am taking advantage of my little break to check on my fellow mylotters and also to write a short post. In 10 minutes, I am going back for another vacuuming session. I think I am getting too old for that! My intentionn for today was to mow the lawn but it is raining. Bummer! Did you have to change your plans today?

Vacuuming is a great way to combine cleaning and a little exercise. Hope you have a wonder day.

I knew it was going to rain today, so I had already planned a kitchen drawers reorganizations. It is incredible how they can become cluttered.

"I jumped on my central vaccum cleaner" --- why would you do that? Does it work like a lawn mower? Do you sit on it? My vacuum cleaner has wheels and moves across the carpet. I hold the tube with the brush in my hands and walk beside it. No jumping is done in the process.

@MALUSE, I guess it is an expression, just an expression. I don't physically jump on my vacuum cleaner.

@MALUSE Well, English is not my native language, so I probably got the wrong way of saying it.

@marlina I'm glad to hear that. I was trying to imagine you doing the jumping act. It's an odd expression if I may say so.

I considered trying to mow a bit of the lawn today and I want to go to planet fitness but haven't as yet. I should just go now, but whether I will or not ?? It was supposed to rain here too and began to rain, but since it cleared back up. I have started two loads of laundry and have one more to do and I've been calling customers looking for work for this coming Friday. Then I need to call more for next week and I need to fill in paperwork to give my surgeon regarding me being off work one more month or whatever he thinks and I need to have it ready to take for my appointment tomorrow. I couldn't sleep last night, but stayed in bed resting anyway and then got up way earlier than normal at 6:30am. I did get a nap after lunch for a couple of hours, so I'm set to go until later. I hope to watch a movie my daughter owns and we couldn't find it last week. Maybe I'll get my husband to prepare that later today for me.

@marlina If anything, I overdid sitting on my butt most of the day. Never made it to planet fitness, never mowed the lawn. Still have one more load of laundry to complete. I did a bunch of bills and called customers for jobs. And that's about it.

You wanted your husband out of the house, but is he bugging you that much?

I'm sorry it was raining and you couldn't get in your garden. Today, Friday, I have no plans, so I will be on the computer most of the day. I do need to take care of some household chores, but that won't take long.
