Monday 1-20-25 No Dancing & Nasty Weather

 

Disappointed

We woke up to a cold morning with the low of 40 degrees. The wind was blowing out of the north. In the early afternoon it started to drizzle and the temperature was dropping. It got up to 45 degrees. It's suppose to be cold and nasty for a couple of days.

Cold nasty day

We got up around 6:00. We took a shower and got dressed. Then we went downstairs to have breakfast. The breakfast consisted of oatmeal, mini muffins, mini bagels, bread for toast, scramble eggs, cereal, milk, apple juice, orange juice, Belgium waffles, coffee, syrup, butter spread, cream cheese spread and some other stuff. We shared a waffle and had a mini bagel and apple juice. The bagel wasn't that good it tasted like eating bread. The breakfast was well stocked and the gentleman doing the breakfast area kept it clean.

 

After breakfast we went back upstairs to our room, our dance wasn't until 10:00 and we didn't have to leave until 9:30. We rested for a couple of hours. Our dance was at the Peppermint Palace Activity Center at El Valle Del Sol in Mission Texas. We parked the car and headed into the building. When got at the building, there was a note on the door saying the dance was cancelled. Bronc Wise was calling the dance and he had a migraine and it wasn't going away. His wife Fia met us at the door and apologized for the inconvenience. She took our phone number and e-mail so she could let us know about the dance in the future. She also said he wouldn't being calling his afternoon A2 dance either. We were disappointed but things happen. There were no other dancing options today. It was ok anyway because it was a cold nasty day.     

No square dancing

On the way back to the motel we stopped by Walmart to pickup a couple of salads, we were surprised they didn't have any pre-made salads at all. We picked up a couple of bottles of Diet Mountain Dew and luncheon meat for sandwiches. When we got back to the car Larry asked Google to find a HEB. They had salads so we bought a couple along with HEB dressing spread for sandwiches. Now we have plenty of food in the room to eat if the weather gets too bad and other dances are cancelled. 

 

 

Shopping at HEB

 

 

For lunch I heated up the left-over orange chicken bowl from last night's dinner from Teriyaki Madness. We spent the rest of the day in the room. Larry read and I played games. I played the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong. The event was Event: Experts Only of 10 games. It took me 1 hour, 39 minutes and 57 seconds, which put me in 13th place in my group. Then I played Angry Birds 2 and Angry Birds and Friends. 

 

 

 Relaxing with a book

For dinner we had a Shake Rattle Bowl (Caesar Pasta Salad) from HEB. After dinner I went to the workout room. I did the treadmill for 30 minutes, I set a speed of 3.5 and incline of 2.5. By the end of the workout I had gone 1.62 miles and burned 150 calories. Then I moved over to the weight machines. I did weights for 20 minutes. I did 3 sets of 10 reps in seven different routines. The routines were  were leg press, toe curls, Lat pull-downs, triceps curls, rows, biceps curls and bench press. I ended up doing 18,000 steps, which put me in 5th place in my group.
