I like to scan items as I take them from the shelf & put them into my cart. I can instantly verify the correct price rang up. But best of all, I like having a digital copy of my purchases. If I need to return something I don't need to look for the paper receipt. Also, I never stand in line. I just hit pay on my phone and walk out the door.
Today was a great day. This morning homeschool was a solid 4 hours and highly productive. This afternoon was beautiful weather so the kids spent all afternoon playing outside. DGD7 finally was able to conquer riding bike without training wheels. She was soooo happy and pleased with herself. During the late afternoon, I left the kids with DH and went to the YMCA all by myself. What a treat! I am so out of shape that I couldn't do everything that I had hoped. But I'm not going to stress about it and just start where I am. I pushed myself today and will see how my body responds to it. My goal is to make consistent incremental improvements.
It has been years since I have gone to the gym and I don't know what to put in my gym bag. I guess I can just keep discovering things as I go along that need to be in it, but it sure feels a bit frustrating to be so clueless. Today I discovered that I need to add headphones, shower shoes (flip/flops), and water bottles. One water bottle isn't enough.
