Up And At Em!

A long time ago my husband called home and asked what I was doing. I told him I was re-arranging the cabinets. He was surprised when he came in and saw that I had actually done that! Unscrewed them from the wall and put them in different places in the kitchen. Once I was aware that it was possible, I tried a variety of different ways over the years, even removing the island at one point.

I like doing things like that, trying out different lay outs, or using rooms for unusual purposes. When we built the house I put the laundry room off the closet in our master suite. It was also accessible from the hallway, the closet acted like insulation if I was running something in there and it was so convenient. A simple pocket door in the back of the closet made it work.

Today it was too cold, windy and wet to walk, so I re-arranged this kitchen and back hallway. This house is much smaller than my old ones, so I have to jockey furniture around when I do this and that makes it great exercise.

I’m not good at exercising just for the sake of my health. I need to keep it interesting if I am going to keep doing it. I played tennis for years, nothing beats running full court for four hours. I can eat like a horse when I do that, but I can’t do it anymore. I rode my bike until a couple years ago. I’ve had numerous memberships with gyms and a couple of exercise machines over the years too. We had a pool and keeping it clean was a major undertaking, followed by the reward, a swim. I have to admit that the gardening I’ve done has always been more or less because I had to, I tend to prefer natural settings,
but it was good exercise too

I’m trying folks. Anything that gets me up and moving has got to be good right now! Bear with me.
