Hi everyone. Happy new week to all of you. It's also once again time for T again over at Bleubeard's and Elizabeth's blog. It's taken me what seems like forever to write this post as I had some annoying and suspicious pop ups that wouldn't go away. I finally figured out how to get rid of them, thankfully. Sadly I must have picked them up while reading the obituary of a former student who committed suicide. It's bad enough to read an obituary of someone in their early 20's never mind having the site then mess up my computer. 😖
Last week flew by for me. It was a busy one, but not busy with things you'd take photos of. One thing on my list was a little self- pampering. A friend had a free pass to an exercise club so I went with her and took my first ever water aerobics class. It was fun, and I felt great to get into the water.
I also went and had a massage, which I haven't done in many many years. I've got a sore muscle in my lower back that comes and goes. It's better when I can get out and move, but last week with the winds and cold temperatures (in the negative numbers whether you measure by Fahrenheit or Celsius) it was too chilly to walk. Never mind over the holidays it was easy to go into lazy mode-grin. I decided to splurge on myself and go get the muscle knots worked on. And it did help a lot. 😀
Otherwise I had a couple of other appointments (nothing very exciting), worked on giving my art area a good sorting/cleaning, and I watched a lot of old episodes of Project Runway. I also kept the woodstove going and spent some time hunkered down with a good book next to heat.
I have 2 drink related posts this week for T day. The first is some hot cocoa I made one day along with the last of some Scottish style shortbread I had made at Christmas.

I have never had a professional massage, it sounds pretty relaxing!
Water aerobics and massage sond both good to me, and I'm glad that you felt much better afterward. I detest back aches and am glad that I haven't had any for a really long time except that annoying sciatica. Do you do any strength or weight training? I have found that this is very good for me - I do strength and weight two to three times a week and some stretching every day. It really doesn't take much, but I always feel in quite a good mood afterwards. Since I do it in the morning, it's a great start into the day. Reading by the woodstove sounds wonerful! Happy T day! Hugs - Carola
Good drinks and glad you pampered yourself.
No picture from the water aerobics class ;-)) I can't remember when I last had a massage...it's minus 7 C over here and we are still going to take a walk later...kinda addicting to it.
Self- pampering sounds very good, a great way to start the New Year!!!
Oh, if only the water in those places wasn´t so cold...
We´re in minus-temps, too (well, celsius).
Off to make chocolate tea with milk in my Rexi... the Ale looks great, too, have a happy T-Day, hugs
I am so sorry to self-advertise, but my latest post is called "Migrants welcome to Australia - Bonegilla". My bloody blog is still showing my last post :(
...Ginger Ale isn't just Ginger Ale these days.
I haven't had a massage in ages and boy, does that ever sound good. So do water aerobics. I should look into that around here.
