My car is visiting the mechanic's garage, so I've been getting more exercise lately. Yesterday, because I missed the last bus home and because bus schedules run on weekend schedules, I walked about 5 extra miles on top of the 14821 steps I managed to log while spending the day at a nature type park. While at the park, listening to the river and watching kayakers practice on small rapids, a big beautiful Blue Heron swooped down from the tree canopy and wow, you couldn't even hear them swoosh through the air. I spilled my strawberry concoction I took to drink, trying to take a picture of it because it was SO huge, and majestic, and just so mysterious. I've never seen a Blue Heron as big as the one I saw yesterday.

I am not sure what I will do this summer, when it comes to my favorite activity: Swimming (or rather, floating while cloud watching). Even our own pools here at home are closed. Public pools are closed until further notice. So I'm glad I never made it over to the community center to buy a summer swim pass. But by late summer, there is a couple of opportunities to go to hot springs resorts, and maybe then, I'll get my pleasures by floating in a hot spring pool. Maybe.

Last week I managed to log all sorts of steps. I even managed to fall down my stairs and bang up both knees and hit my head and bruised my left side by my ribs. I'm glad I had a winter ski hat on and was bundled up, because it could have been entirely different. I'm glad I didn't break any bones. But my body is super sore, especially since I had to walk home after no buses were ever going to be able to take me home.

Here's to more Blue Heron's, floating in a pool - sometime this summer, and to my car being healed, so she's not having to visit the mechanics garage so often.

Oh, and as soon as the Rain season ends, I have plans to bicycle to work. I have finally mapped a route to work and it will take about 1.5 hours to do it, but I plan to start out with biking to work, one or two days a week, until I can do it daily, five days a week (that might be next summer).
