Upped my workout by 10%
Cut down a minute and increased cal count to 165

10,159 steps yesterday.

I knew it would be a lot of steps yesterday, but this really did surprise me! Clearing out space to get the desk out and load on truck. Walking all over Home Resources (it is a hughe lumber yard looking place) in search of a door, window trim, plastic bins for litter boxes, etc. theonly thing we got was 2 large plastic bins that will make great litter boxes for a total of $2! Then searching Pet Smart and Walmart for other needed items. An entirely exhausting day!! Today is working in the garage...

6,696 steps yesterday.

Boy did I feel those 10,000+ steps!! My friend did too! We didn't get started until mid afternoon yesterday because of all our creaks and aches!!

Today I go to DMV in a couple of hours and while I am in town there (this town is south of me and haven't been there in years) I am going to poke around a couple thrift shops. Then home for some kitty house work...

Yesterday I could not do my TM workout as I was out the whole day. But on the other hand I did use the city's public transport which involves a lot of walking and climbing. Did manage around 7k steps there + whatever at home.

4,866 steps yesterday.

It took longer to drive to the DMV than I spent there renewing my license!! Sooo different from the same experience in CA!! I guess one reason is we are small population wise, 1,132,800 people in the state in 2023. That is one of the things I like about here!! I was the only person in the office for 10 out of the 15 minutes or so it took. One person came in just before I left. I remember the hours it would often take when I lived in CA!!

Turned out to be a rather lazy day all in all and I think I needed it! No heavy work today either, it is my friend's day at the TNR shelter. I may do some stenciling...

6,432 steps yesterday.

Kind of a lazy day. We have a goal of finishing the garage enough for holding the cats that have been fixed by Sunday so we can begin the trapping. I really need to get it done before babies start coming. I made some shelter boxes to put inside so they have places to hide and sleep. I've been gathering blankets to put inside them since they won't be exposed to the weather they will work fine to make they cozy. It is going to be a busy next few days!

5,136 steps yesterday.

Gathering blankets and getting them ready for the "houses" in the garage and making 4 more box houses was about the extent of what I did yesterday.

My friend was working on the supports for the storage on top of the wall and some painting. Today the green fencing will go up and then we have to find a door for between the sides of the garage. She said she may have something usable in her "collection" of building stuff she has accumulated over the years with her business.

We're getting close to an almost "finished", just enough to start trapping.Hoping that by Sunday we can start!

4,559 steps yesterday.

Raining most of the day, both my knees were really aching from the damp. Didn't do much myself, but my friend got the mesh up. Unfortunately breaking a window that was probably cracked by a bird that flew into garage a couple days ago. I'm worried about pieces of glass in the grass outside as that is one of the cat trails they use to get around the yard. Not sure we are going to make tomorrow's start day. Lots of clean up needed in cat area and then set up beds, food, litter boxes...

5,797 steps yesterday.

Lots of tidying up in garage and last minute tweaks. All I need now is a door between the two spaces. Hopefully my friend was able to put something together that is serviceable for now. And replace glass in window.

Photos are in Chit Chat. All the work is not done, but enough is to keep the cats safely contained while we trap and get the rest fixed.

4,830 steps yesterday.

Not much going on yesterday, my friend hurt her arm Saturday so couldn't come over yesterday. Today if not better she will be going to dr. Probably won't be able to start trapping for another week.

I did do a couple of stencils in the cat house, gathered garbage and did a laundry so had some low keyed exercise. It was probably a good thing for me too.

5,733 steps yesterday.

Garbage up the road and a grocery run.

No work on cat home yesterday, my friend's shoulder is really bothering her. Old injury from falling off a roof when she had her construction company. Rest and ice she says will fix her up in a few days. Can't say that the rest isn't good for me too, my hands and back are so sore the rest will do me well too.

Just hoping the cats take a rest too!! ;)

I got a surprising 3118 steps yesterday just doing things like my laundry and I had to go to the doctors office to drop off the list of questions for my annual wellness exam I have on Friday, it's a Medicare thing and it really seems silly because then when you go to the exam they ask all of the same questions again. 
I am going to see how much I can do today and so far it is going OK so maybe I can get back to my goal.

Nice to see you here Wally!!

Yeah, I've got my Medicare form sitting around waiting for me to fill it out before my yearly in Aug. Seems so unnecessary as is making the Medicare yearly be a different appointment from the regular yearly check up even if both cover almost the same things. Makes me wonder if they won't cover a regular yearly medical exam any more...

Well, Medicare calls it the "annual wellness" exam and they allow and pay for a 30 min. visit instead of a 15 min. normal visit.  I am not sure what you are referring to as a regular yearly exam but maybe you only see your doctor once a year on a regular basis.  My doctor has me on a 4 month exam schedule and Medicare covers all of that.  The annual wellness exam is probably a good thing for someone that doesn't see a doctor on a regular basis but when I go on my schedule it is redundant but the hospital likes it because they get paid for another visit and it is double a normal visit.

Yeah, my dr only sees me once a year. That exam and the Medicare one had been done at the same time before, now 2 different appointments. I had to push to get an A1C at least twice a year from her. Maybe now that my #'s are not the best, she will go up to 3 at least.
