Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day: January 2017
Despite my best intentions, nothing is truly in bloom today. The ‘Ragtime’ Amaryllis just finished blooming last week, and I haven’t potted up any other bulbs quite yet. The ‘Pink Pearl’ Hyacinths i’m forcing haven’t done much more than peek an inch of green out of their bulbs, and the kalanchoes are just kind of chilling with no intention of blooming anytime soon.
I do have a bit of color in the house, at least. The poinsettia is hanging in there from the Christmas season.
The African Violet is showing signs of a bloom in the Very Near Future.
I have hope that there will be more blooms next month!
Rollei 35 Ready To Roll
Realized last night that I never actually tested the slightly beat-up Rollei 35 I bought on eBay last year. The light meter doesn’t work, but that’s OK.
Back in the Saddle
That would be a funnier title if I attended the spin class at work. Alas, I don’t do spin, since the one time I tried it, I managed to rotate one of my vertebrae. I have no plans to try spin ever again — even though that was a couple years ago.
What I am doing is getting back to my normal fitness routine. When I’m not being a total slacker (as I was over the holidays), I typically attend fitness classes at the work gym over lunch once or twice a week, then do weights once a week. I’ve been mixing it up recently, though, and throwing in some treadmill instead of strength training, just because tracking my cardiovascular fitness with my new Fitbit Charge 2 is a new fun thing for me. #datanerd
(Also because I’d have to adjust my lifting plan to my post-hiatus fitness level, and I haven’t felt motivated to do that yet, truth be told.)
Monday was kickboxing class.
