JSF, my surgeon recommended Premier Protein, so I ordered some online. I the meantime I'm making do with whey protein mixed in with milk, Cream of Wheat and stuff like that. Next time family goes shopping I'll ask for Boost.
The other part is, I need to get more exercise. But it's so easy just to bundle under the covers and sleep..
I think I better start by doing partial squats bc right now very unsteady on my feet.
Sounds like YOU got quite a workout, tho!

Dear daughter's virtual trainer is also sick with what she hopes is "just a cold". For her, it probably will be.
Thanks for the well wishes.
Honestly, I didn't even ask how she was doing when I talked to my Dad today. That's not a slight against her, since I like her. I guess it just shows that in the real world I'm as unconcerned about Covid as my online persona is.
That being said, I will ask tomorrow. It's rather shitty of me to have not asked. But my dad didn't even mention it on the phone today, so I'm assuming everything is fine so far.
I didn't even ask if my Dad was okay. Shame on me.

Late night tonight. I'd been working earlier in the day repairing damage to he baseboard trim after painting it last night and I got all of my caulking done. Then I put two coats of finish enamel on the baseboard and the supports for the shelf and the coat pole. Also sanded down the pole, stained it and gave it a first coat of poly.
Was done with that before 6PM and wasn't planning on doing anything else, but I got the bug and just finished cutting in the walls for paint. I decided to use the gallon of paint I bought back in November of 2019 that I was going to use in the kitchen but decided not to. It's more or less a really light grey with just the slightest hint of green... barely even noticeable. I wanted to keep the closet light but also have some contrast from the trim since I've put so much work into it.
Unfortunately, it's more of that Pittsburgh Premium and their product wasn't any better three years ago than it is now. (Except for the enamel paint in that line, I'm never buying that stuff again, even if it's on a great sale). I'm not even going to put a roller to the walls until I cut it in a 2nd time. I've got a fan on it and I'm letting it dry right now and I'm going to do that before I go to bed. If I feel like it after that, I might give it the first roller coat so all I need to do tomorrow before putting the new flooring in is cut in and roll one time.
I'll be putting a few more coats of poly on the poll tomorrow too, but I'll probably wait a week or so before putting it in and hanging my coats back up on it.
I'll show you some before/after pics when I'm done with it. You can see how crazy I am since I'm putting way more work into a closet than most people ever would.

It is very cool. The researchers are thrilled to see so many calves. Now it is fingers crossed that they reach maturity.

The Rideau canal in Ottawa is open for ice skating, all 7.8km of it which works to around 4 miles.

Suppose to rain tomorrow morning but since it's my laundry day, I hope I will miss it. I'll get my walk in after that.

Quote:Lean against the wall, hands low, butt sticking out. Do the leg squats that way. Should give you max steadiness and sturdiness to confidently do as much leg workout as you have energy for. Or maybe just grip the bedcovers with feet on the floor.

Also, have you tried ankle or wrist weights? Lay in bed to move arms and legs Round. I keep seeing them for a few bucks at Goodwill or thrift stores. Like with a vellcro band.

Cut in twice and rolled it once. I've got a fan on it now and I'm going to roll it a second time before I clean up. My lamb's wool rollers waste quite a bit of paint during the cleanup, and since I'm going to need 3 coats with this paint I only want to have to clean it up twice.
It's ridiculous thinking that I might not be able to paint two moderate sized closets with a gallon of paint, but man is this paint crap.

lol yeah... Man this paint is trash. At least it looks good and washes well when you get it up, but I've never used a paint before that took three coats to put a darker color on a light color.
Most people would let this go after two coats since it's a closet. You only even see the spots right now when I've got a 3' long LED bulb in the closet that won't be there when I'm done. But I'm going to finish what I started.
No big deal. I enjoy painting a lot more than all the prep to get to that point, and it's more practice for me.
