I'm going to have to do it.

So much to do. I am still in relatively poor shape from my recent fall. I must begin digging my way out. I woke too late for Mass, I have been stumbling around this morning doing little, but I have been forming plans for an attack. Last night and this morning I have been exploring exercise. I have a Herculean set of iron weights in my garage, there isn't really a good place for them in my home. But with the temperature being what it is, I have been looking for a space heater, of some sort. Amazon, and web searches, have led me to a couple of units. It depends on what I might think is needed to be warm enough, I am not sure if a bigger 360 radiant or a small directional heater might be best, most economically, more useful in more ways, to do the trick. My garage is almost a two car garage and I have no experience with these types of heaters. The latter one would be excellent as a backup, and portable, heating device. Useful for everything from camping to fishing to hunting, and perhaps truly worthy of emergency small area heating in the home. The bigger one? Perhaps emergency home heating, but it does look a bit riskier to use as such. The thing about the bigger one is that it would truly warm the whole garage which would be useful for other things, like turning the garage into a real shop. Remember, it is relatively cold around here most of the year.

Further I have been considering swimming. The college has a pool, but there seem to be a thousand and one rules and the hours of lap swimming are archaic at best. An hour there, a few hours here, none of them look to be good for my schedule (hopefully right after Mass on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday). And parking near the college is expensive, if it is even available. Perhaps I should consider getting a handicap sticker? My heart condition might warrant it (if I would only use it for easier access at times, I prefer to park far away if I can for safer parking and a little more exercise).

I did find a club that has an indoor pool. I worry about the cost and my, at least initial, lackluster use of a lane. So, I emailed them to see if we could work something out, filling them in on my particulars. I even suggested a limited membership, just for the pool. Though I must admit, if I could get a heavily discounted full membership, as I progress in swimming I might see what else they might have to offer. While machines are not the best at strength and stamina building, they might be a safer beginning back into weights. I don't know. I know nothing, often. I must try to get back in shape. If something comes through, I will just need a pair of speedos. Urhm, maybe not.



There is much other work to do though. I need to clean my kitchen up, get back to more whole grains than not meat and real foods, and begin planning for smaller more frequent meals. I need to do some legal research. I have to get my finances in order. I need to get my medicine set redone. I need to figure out how to get my butt off my chair too. And of course, I have a number of pieces of business to do with the KoC. I don't even consider blogging a part of my duties. I just do it, anymore.

Well, enough. I should get to making those late Christmas calls. My brother is a bit steamed at all of us. *grins* He often was. Then again, in all fairness, we have all taken our turns at being the angst ridden angry 'person in the corner pouting'. :p Loverly. Later.
