Greetings all Coursers, and welcome to the start of a new week. Dornole first gave us the nickname "Courser," and I like it! Hope the course you are staying this week is a good one.
As I write this looking out back I see a hummingbird, butterfly (Monarch, I believe), and a big fat bumblebee all partaking of blossoms on our sprawling Lantana bush, and in fairly close proximity to one another. I would try to take a photo; however, a large thunderstorm is building in the distance, and the thunder is fairly loud, meaning of course lightning is a threat. So I'd just as soon keep staying my course inside right now, thank you. But isn't it grand once in a while just to slow down, kick back, and observe what's going on in our natural world?
I have a dental appointment tomorrow afternoon to install a bridge for which the impression was taken several weeks ago. Also there is a small filling to repair. After that, I hope not to have to return to the dentist until time for the regular 6-month cleaning. I have the appointment just 90 minutes after the end of exercise class, for which there will be a sub teacher 'cause our regular gal has gone out of town to be with her mom for rotator cuff surgery. She was unable to get a sub for Thursday. So it is awfully tempting to just take the whole week off, but she pleaded with us not to do that. So guess I will go 'cause she's the best fitness instructor I've ever had and I don't want to disappoint her.
On a visit to bookstore I bought a nice Healthy Heart fitness book, filled with color photos of exercises, including many we do in core fitness (yes some even involving planks). So now I can sit here and exercise my mind instead of my bod. Or maybe I could even try to do some of these at home (though I lack gear such as a Swiss Ball or weights. Maybe I should invest in them.)
Supposed to be thunderstormy all week. We are in the tropical soupy season now.
Cheers, all Coursers!
