Before playing Transformers I played last week's challenge of Creature From The Black Lagoon. I played Creature From The Black Lagoon for 30 minutes and got a new high score for the week. The score was 87,752,940, which put me in 100th place out of 120 participants. When I played Transformers my first high score for the week was 7,838,630. This put me in 21st place out of 24 participants so far. Then I played three other games, which were Big Bang Bar, Big Trouble in Little China and Blizzard of Ozz.

Rainy Morning

We had an overcast day with rain in the morning. We woke up with the temperature of 72 degrees and rain. The rain was very steady but went away around lunchtime. The sun peeped out of the clouds for a few minutes. Then the clouds covered it. The high was 89 degrees with the humidity of 59% at 3:00. It was very muggy.

Temperature at our house at 3:00 pm

Larry wakes up about 6:00 every morning. Today when he woke up he saw the doe and her fawn in the backyard. It was raining and it didn't bother them at all. Larry did his morning routine of reading his e-mail and reading the groups he follow. 

When I got up at 8:00 I made pancakes for breakfast. 

Larry spent the morning and part of the afternoon doing some paper crafting. Today he assembled the Werewolf. It looks great and cute. Then he started his next paper project of a Leprechaun. He already had downloaded the file and edited it. He decided on what color of paper and what type of paper to use for the Leprechaun. Next he cut the pieces out using his Cameo. Now he's ready to assemble it.

I played my games. I did the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong. The event was Event: World Tour Mini of 10 games. It took me 1 hour, 28 minutes and 2 seconds to complete. which put me in 20th place in my group. I played Angry Birds Friends and Angry Birds 2.

In the afternoon I worked out for an hour. 

I worked out with the Wii Fit for 31 minutes. Today I did a few exercises in Yoga (Spine Extension, Gate and Grounded V) and Strength Training (Side Lunge and Single-Leg Reach). I didn't too well because it was the first time I did them. The Grounded V I had to hold my legs up to do it because I couldn't keep them up while measuring it. My actual routine was Aerobic for 8 minutes with two exercises (Super Hula Hoop 4 minutes and Rhythm Boxing for 4 minutes), Strength Training for 8 minutes with three exercises (Side Lunge 10 reps for 2 minutes, Single-Leg Reach 6 reps for 2 minutes and Lunge 20 reps for 4 minutes), Training Plus for 3 minutes with Perfect 10 twice and Yoga for 12 minutes with five exercises (Spine Extension, Gate, Grounded V, Downward Facing Dog and Triangle), It was a challenge workout but fun. Below are the new exercises I did.
