Monday 6-15-26 Wellness, Dancing with Di, Sewing Project & More

 

Smile and have fun

We had an overcast day. The front, that came in last night brought rain, which stayed around through out the morning. The morning temperature was 73 degrees and the high was 86 degrees.

We started the day out by going to Salado for my annual Wellness appointment. The appointment was at 8:00 am but we had to be there at 7:45 am. I was Dr. Smith's first appointment so was in and out fast. Everything went well. The actual check-up only lasted about 20 minutes because I don't have any medical issues. Larry waited for me in the lobby. I'm all set for another year.

Wellness Check-up

On the way to Salado we stopped at Jack 'n' Jill Donuts for breakfast. We ate the donuts on the way home. We were back at the house by 8:30 am.

Next we attended Di Green and Terry McCann's Weekly C1 dance at 9:00 am for an hour. Di called five tips to 17 participants. Terry danced part of the first tip and Larry danced four of the tips with me. Di worked on the Triple Concepts of Waves/Lines/Boxes. She also worked on moves the dancers were having trouble with. She cued through out the dance, which helped me very much. We had a super time dancing to Di and Terry and friends.

Larry read and worked on some electronic stuff.

We did a sewing project together. My VR headset pad is starting to deteriorate, the pad is not available separately so Larry asked if I would make a sleeve to cover the piece. At first I said no because I always have problems sewing. I have to rip out the stitching. I thought about the project and decided to do it. Larry had some black cloth left over from a project so we didn't have to buy the material. We measured the size we needed for the sleeve. Then Larry cut it and I sewed the seams on the edges and then sewed a seam to join both sides together. Next I turned the sleeve inside out. Larry slid the sleeve over the piece of the headset, that was deteriorating. It fit perfect. Then I made another sleeve for Larry's headset. Later on I used the headsets and the sleeves felt great.

I did the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong. The event was Event: Klondike Mini of 5 games. It took me 11 minutes and 43 seconds to complete, which put me in 27th place in my group. I played Angry Birds Friends and Angry Birds 2.

I worked out for an hour using the Wii Fit and the Synth Riders. 

My workout with the Wii Fit was for a half hour. I worked out 26 minutes using the Wii Fit Routine the program decided on. The routine had 12 different exercises, which were three Aerobics (Rhythm Boxing, Hula Hoop and Super Hula Hoop), two Balance Games (Lotus Focus and Table Tilt), three Strength Training (Single-Leg Twist 10 reps, Single-Leg Extension 6 reps and Tricep Extension 10 reps), two Training Plus (Big Top Juggling and Bird's Eye Bull's Eye) and two Yoga (Deep Breathing and the Chair). I did Perfect 10 for times for 4 minutes to finish up the workout. I had a great workout.

I played ten games of pinball. I played five games on the mini cabinet, which were Ace of Speed, Batman Forever, Metallica, Michael and Nightmare Before Christmas. While playing Michael I became high score #1. I played five games on the big cabinet, which were Attack From Mars, The Beach Boys, The Big LeBowski, Transformers and World Cup Soccer. While playing World Cup Soccer I got another new high score for the week. I had fun playing pinball.
