I carry a forty-lb bag of wood pellets into my house each day. I shovel my own walks and steps. Today I did CPR recertification on my knees.

LOVE!

The CPR cert process is such a knee and wrist challenge! I had to do it once while heavily pregnant and it was NOT fun.

and the mannequins get smaller all the time — no more than 5” thick BEFORE compressions. I thought I’d topple right over!

Meredith's "I carried it on my arms like a forklift two blocks home" made me lol

Ahh! My brother lives there and works at the amazing Idol Wolf restaurant in the 21C Hotel. We stayed at the hotel, ate like kings, and did the City Museum :-)

I just started doing these farmer carries and wow is it helpful in the winter!

My partner loves to hike, which is a relatively new hobby for me! We went to the Smokey Mountains on our last vacation and had to speed through a 10 mile (high elevation!) climb because everyone passing us warned us not to be on the mountain after sunset. I had fun! I was quick and graceful! I did not get eaten by a bear!

Haha such ominous warnings!! But that sounds amazing — must have felt so good to conquer that hike!
