“A pair of shoes can change your life. Just ask Cinderella.”

 

Yesterday was my JCC day and a little guy who doesn’t speak English yet but understands it pretty well ( he is from Russia) was playing soccer with me in the “bubble”. The bubble is a large air dome covering an indoor soccer field and gymnastics area. Within it is a place called the pit filled with three feet deep foam squares into which the kiddos can jump and sink and roll and be saved- essentially it is a total hoot. SO I was warned by a 4 year old that I should go init with a skirt on and a teacher told me it tends to remove your socks. But I took the leap and man was it great fun. I also spent some time running along a 30 feet long trampoline leading to the pit.

 

Afterwards I managed to get a free pass to use the J that afternoon for lap swimming.  There was only one other person in the pool…. Duh. And I got in about 8 laps before thinking I had better cool it or I wouldn’t be moving the next day. And then I tried the smaller therapy pool- 90 degrees for exercise mostly and I did some stretches before I visited the whirlpool/. Their whirlpool wasn’t as hot as mine  so that was good to know. But I think they will give me a free pass every Thursday so I can make laps part of the weekly routine.

 

In the afternoon my treo came. Jim managed to get it to successfully synch w outlook but half the keyboard doesn’t function and I really miss graffiti as an input device—and the writing screen. So maybe a one device plan isn’t right for me but I thought it would simplify everything, maybe if I get one where the keyboard works??????????

 

Jim went to a play last night while I stayed home and watched a really bad mystery movie--- but abs purred and hummed all evening through the quiet and even let me get some knitting done while she slept on my lap.  And I applied to volunteer at the Chinese garden as the craft museum hardly ever calls. Whoever gets to me first gets me one morning a week. Oh and yesterday it snowed most of the afternoon. No complaints here.
