I really don't know what makes Outlook sync. I suspect it's some kind of time thing, or perhaps it's related to activity. I haven't really looked into it, but maybe I will. The more one understands something, the more opportunity you have to fix it when things go wrong! OK, I had a quick peek—I didn't understand a thing. I must go back!
Yesterday was a brutal day physically! And it wasn't a bad day, just brutal. Surprisingly, my shoulders and arms are not sore despite all the upper body stuff we did in my personal training session. I thought I would be in a lot of agony, but no, I feel fine. Let's not forget the stretching on the legs and hips. I'm so tight; I'm like a tightly wound piano string!
Then I saw Misty for a massage. These are not your la—la—have—a—drink massages; these are deep-tissue massages, and I thought I was going to die on the table. Because of all the stretching and how it relieves the sciatic (I'm going to call it that) issues, I believe that most of my issues are muscle-related. So, I let her work on my legs and glutes.
I had a Zoom meeting to attend later in the day, and I just couldn't sit. I was OK for the first part, but it became very uncomfortable! I was absolutely exhausted when the meeting was over at 4:30 PM, so I went to bed and slept for two hours! I felt much better and was quite productive for a few hours. Then I went to bed and slept through until it was time to get up!
I must get into a daily routine of stretching out those hips, hamstrings, and quads. It would be embarrassing if my issue was only related to extremely tight muscles. So, let's work on that and see what happens. And let's hope that we get it fixed before it causes any nerve damage! The tingling down my leg means there's still pressure on the nerve.
I feel just fine this morning, so it was all worth it. And I must say that my mobility is so much better! I am not running up and down the stairs like I used to, but I can go up and down so much easier, especially first thing in the morning. My mobility does not seem joint-related—it's just stiff muscles. My ultrasound results indicate no bursitis or arthritis in the hip. Let's keep it that way!
Not much else was done besides getting to those three appointments and attending the meeting. However, I got some emails out the door last night, which was good. There's lots on the agenda again today. Will I get it all done before I'm away next week? I sure hope so. DH is now away, and I'm much more productive when he's not here! Don't ask me why, as he's pretty independent!
Yes -- it's cold here, but it's all relative. It's much colder north of here, so I'm not complaining. Dress for it and try to get outside when the sun is shining. I think people grossly underestimate the power of the sun. It can help people suffering from SAD, but if you walk when the sun is out, the heat of the rays makes an incredible difference to the temperature! It's so much warmer in the sun.
I love this picture of our area with a temperature guide. I could NOT find the legend to this, but it's cold. That color just makes it look VERY cold.

| It's COLD! |
Here's my advice - wear a hat and tightly wound scarf to keep the draft off your neck, as most of your body heat is lost through your head. Some people are not into scarves, but I would be a block of ice without one. I also breathe through the scarf, which helps. And I tuck my shirt in! I hate a draft --- if any part of my body gets a draft when it's cold, then I'm freezing!
And my recycled pop-bottle coat is warm as anything! I LOVE it. That was a worthwhile investment, although it wasn't that expensive. It's not the best if there's a lot of wind, but it works just fine for morning walks with the dogs. And I'm back to my down sweater in the afternoon.
I think it's a bit colder today than yesterday, and then it warms up!
Here's someone who loves this cold weather. Murphy goes outside and immediately drops on her belly in the snow.

I have a lot of things to pick up and drop off in the next couple of days, so I've been making arrangements to make that happen as well. I'm getting through the list, but when I went to send an email last night, I realized that I was missing a book with the information in it! Of course, I am. I've used that book for a class for FIVE years, and it was always in the same spot. Now, it's not to be found when I have one last need for it! I left it out so I could write that email................ What did I do with it? I will look through the stacks of recent paperwork again, but where is that book?
