I'm not into Easter but am sure glad warmer weather is here. Between that and vaccine, makes me feel free to have outside fun, even something as wonderfully simple as sitting outside my home with friends eating an early dinner provided by Subway. My closest friend contacted me from southern Illinois where her husband's family lives. First time they'd seen them in a year. What a relief to be inching toward the end of the worst of the virus; hopefully it stays that way Had acupuncture on Sat which, after about 10 treatments I'm starting to bounce back from quicker. At first, I was exhausted and couldn't think much the first few days after treatment. Lucky to get one exercise and chiro treatment in. The initial exhaustion is waning away. Yesterday, tired but more energy that after previous treatments, actually got a few things done. Today a bit more tired, think I'll just enjoy some gaming time. Maybe take a lawn chair (the base has a rocker type of mechanism) out from under the tarp and put it in garage so it's ready. I like to go out mid-afternoon to read, close my eyes, and wait for my dog to come home from playing.

It's been sunny but chilly and very windy. Still, it's lovely to see the sun. It might be nice to take a drive down the coast this week if the weather holds because it's too cold and windy for boating.
I'm starting to see an improvement in my lung capacity after a couple of months on the bike. My asthma is not nearly as bothersome these days. I can get a full breath now. I'll never be able to go full tilt and I doubt I'll ever be able to get through an actual spin class, but I'll find it easier to tackle steep hills when I go walking this summer. I've always been the one who has to stop half way up a hill and it would be nice to just be able to keep up.

Florida got a slow start with the vaccine rollout, but once the feds opened up huge walk up sites, we really started showing progress. The age limit dropped every week and now 16+ and any age adult can get a vaccination. Nursing homes and extended care facilities are done and they started on prisoners this week. High hopes things are under control very soon and we can try to get back to normal, if anybody remember what normal used to be. I can't wait to go fishing and to the beach.

hagatha, I don't have ashtma, but I get more windy now than I did a few years ago. Good for you for pushing forward to feel better. I like to notice every little bit of positive change. Slow but sure. Problem is, it takes patience As for your vaccine, May will be here before you know it. Almost warm enough for AC today; but heading back to 50s and 60s after that for a while. That's ok, long as I can open a window for fresh air. Renewed my driver's license online, but gotta go in anyway cause, since I last did it, I added a po box to my address and they insist I come in to verify it. What a pain Seem so me the more they try to make things more efficient, the more complicated they become

Finally a nice, still day for boating. We went out for a spin and tried our luck fishing, but nothing was biting. We decided to come in a bit early, which was a good thing because the tide table was way off and we're moored in a tidal river. There was about 2 feet of water as we inched past the barge under construction in the river's harbour. If we'd stayed out as long as we intended it would have been a looooong, cold, hungry wait until the tide came in.

Good morning, everyone! Well, MY day started off with a bang. I had a message from Razer that I had won one of their gaming chairs! If you're not familiar, Razer is a well-known company that sells very high end gaming laptops and accessories. Winfrey and hagatha both have one of their high end gaming laptops. They had a contest a few weeks ago giving away two of their gaming chairs... one on Facebook and one on Instagram. All you had to do was write a post on why the Iskur gaming chair would be the best chair in the world for you. So I did a post about being an over-70 gaming great grandma. And I won the chair given away on Facebook. I about fell over... this chair is $499 on their website! Razer Iskur Gaming ChairThink I'll have one of Connie's Danishes with my coffee to celebrate!
Once again, weeds are my life!

Drac, congratulations! What a great prize.
Razer has such good peripherals. I should stay away from their website! It's dangerous.

Drac, that is sooo cool! Good for you Really perks a person up to win something! Years ago my folks put in a few $ enter a church raffle. They were shocked when the church called to say they won a few hundred, which went a long way in the 60s, Shortly after my ex and I were married, during 80s, we entered raffle held by a local youth group and were shock to get a call saying we'd won the first prize, a 16" RCA color TV with remote. This was a major piece of wood furniture, and remotes were still a new thing. We had it about 15 years, before replacing with a computer type screen model, shortly after those started coming out. Gave the RCA to a church youth group.
