FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE; Coalinga-CA

For Heaven's sake! 🤦🏻‍♀️

Again, the drive to Hanford did not happen 🙄 - I didn't sleep more than a few quick winks last night (cold weather aches & feral dogs barking), and Holland didn't fare much better than I did; he's breathing much better this week, praise the Lord 🙏 … but those trolling, barking feral dogs are not allowing anyone in the Park, a peaceful rest period 🐕🐾🤬

Our city drive scrapped; & knowing we'd both be catnapping 😴 off and on throughout the Day (Holland already slipped back into bed upstairs 🛌💤) - I put a bean soup 🥣 on slow cook ⏱️; did some body toning 💪 reps for muscle strength (also hoping for some refreshing alertness, for Heaven's sake), watched a vintage Clifton Webb & Edmund Gwenn movie for some good Heaven's Sake humor 😇😉 … and worked more rows on the little pink WIP, for Heaven's sake - in a positive way 💝🎁😘

An impromptu, hearty winter soup, to finish off last night's garlic bread. General Cooking from scratch, burns roughly 100-150 calories per hour (chopping, stirring, moving). Washing dishes by hand, burns approximately 75–180 calories per hour.

Count your reps as you do them as follows: (1-2-3-4, ONE; 1-2-3-4, TWO) aiming for a consistent pace & rest between each set for a 10 sec. break before going into the 2nd+ set(s): 3 rep sets = 100 cals.
