Yesterday I took hubby to the gym. He works with a trainer, working on strength and the ability to balance himself. That gave me a half hour of do what? I chose to get on an exercise bike and pedal. Physical therapy has helped me conquer my real fear of aggravating ye old sciatica. I pedaled for about twenty minutes and came away tired but fine. This morning I headed back to the gym but by myself. This time I went to the pool part of the gym. WOW. Something was going on cause the entire place was very warm. A worker was setting up fans to cool the air. The kiddo pool water was wowwhee almost hot. I loved it. Felt fine to me. Hee hee. No muscle cramps from cold water today. I exercised in that giant hot tub for about 35 minutes. This afternoon I looked at what the tour group had to offer. One trip has been on my mind. Today I decided I'd do it. The tour will take me and others north in my state. North to Mount Baker. I have not been there in years and more years. Mount Baker was the place us kids would be taken to when the adults wanted to give us a special day. We'd go there for the snow and just the general excitement of being in the mountains. Since then we haven't needed to go on any long trips if we wanted to have a snowball fight. Now the snow comes to us! The trip will happen toward the end of this month. IF it isn't cancelled due to lack of interest. I hope it happens. Bliss to have somebody drive me through Seattle traffic and all the way north along the coast. Total bliss. Hubby suggested I bring the Chrome book that I use for writing. Great idea. Here's hoping I don't get a refund but do get a trip north to my birthplace.

@wolfgirl569 Ha ha- warm enough water that I could have brought some soap bubbles and really had fun.

@wolfgirl569 I probably would get tons of unwanted attention if I got too playful in the pool.

@kaylachan @kaylachan I will be with the tour bus folks the entire day. I don't think it would be polite to keep entirely to myself.

I look forward to doing water exercises once I retire. Right now they would cut into my working hours, so another few years and then it will be my time.

@Juliaacv It will make your retirement years more fun. My gym opens in the wee hours of the morning. I wonder how many dedicated folks show up at 5:30 am??

Me, too. @jstory07 This is the tour company that only gave us a day's notice that they had cancelled the Highland Games event tour. Crossed fingers.
