Okay, so I know I haven't posted in ages, but I'm hoping to do better (ha!). And I had a bit of a tale to tell, so I figured this would be a good place to do it. Seriously, though, I've had "Post to Livejournal" as a weekly goal for about a year now and I've been failing at it rather miserably

Go you! I'm so glad that we bought gym equipment ages ago, because it's the only way we've stayed active this year. (At least when the weather wasn't conducive to Tyson running outside.)

Last year was Rackham's first year with a new company and he discovered the employees there get a Wellness Benefit they can spend on things like exercise equipment or gym memberships, so he bought the treadmill... and wow, have we ended up putting that thing to use. Honestly, it totally would have been worth it even if we'd had to pay for it ourselves. The recumbent bike actually came first and sort of got forgotten for awhile, but with the arm exerciser back in working order, we can now trade off a bit and put some variety into working out. And, I have to admit, there were a few times over this last year that I very nearly loaded up that bike and took it somewhere to donate, if they would even take it, since it mostly just seemed to be taking up room. So glad I didn't!

Nifty! I wish we had room for something like that!

It's one of the things I love about this house... it's like it was made to be lived in during a pandemic.

It's so weird when you get those amazing breakthrough thoughts just before you drop off to sleep isn't it? I get those all the time! LOL! Well done for finding a solution!

I was just thinking about you the other day, good to hear both of you are doing well.

I actually cook up recipes I got from you all the time... so it seems like every few days I end up thinking "I really need to read LJ... I wonder how Petzi is doing." I just keep getting wrapped up in too many other things and LJ doesn't display well on my phone, so I've actually got to read it at my computer.

BTW, every year at Thanksgiving, I find myself being grateful again to your friend oakmouse for the totally-from-scratch green bean casserole recipe that she posted years ago. It's so wonderful being able to make it completely without lactose... and, to be honest, it's waaaay better than any I've ever had made with cream of mushroom soup.

Wow. That's a wonderful find! Keeping fit seems to get more complicated all the time. :)
