I opened this Blogger account because my dear friend Paul Minturn began blogging about Giallo cinema in his Room For Giallo blog here on Blogger.

Other than that, I'd just added a few other blogs that interest me to my list that I follow, but I decided to begin a blog of my own...

It's really not about any certain thing, but I began walking on a path in the woods on this property a couple of weeks ago. I shall begin with that, I guess, if I have to... LOL!

I'm overweight. Have been off and on most of my life. I HATE to exercise and I LOVE to eat! And I prefer things I shouldn't eat, but even when I eat things that are GOOD for me, I tend to eat too much...

A couple of weeks ago, on Wednesday, May 16, I decided to take my oldest dog for a long walk in the woods. I'd walked it with him on a couple of warmish days in the late Winter/early Spring when the path was relatively dry, but we'd only walked the circular part of the path that leads from the back yard to the road out front. I decided to go out the trail that sort of leads to nowhere, also, which makes the path 1/2 mile long, total, round trip (I've been told.). I need to wear a pedometer to measure it sometime. It's probably correct, but sometimes it feels like it's a LOT longer than that and at other times it feels shorter LOL!

I have walked it at least once a day since then. A couple of days I've walked it 3 times a day and several days I've walked it twice a day.

I guess it's a good thing I began walking when I did, because LAST Wednesday, May 23, my truck broke down in town (6 miles away) and I decided to walk home, since I'd left my computer online while I was gone, downloading podcasts and couldn't call my SO to tell him that I needed assistance LOL!

Well, I walked 2 miles and a kind stranger stopped to offer me a ride. He was only going a couple of miles, but that would save me that much walking and those miles included climbing a small hill that was a LARGE hill on the other side to go down. The road is very heavily-trafficked and the traffic drives haphazardly, besides there isn't a sidewalk or a wide area to walk on beside the road in most places...

As soon as that guy dropped me off and he went to his house there, another truck went by with 2 guys in it... I was dubious when they turned around and came back, asking me if I needed a ride, but they knew my SO's uncle, so I thought, what the heck? Die by their hand or die walking up a HUGE hill I had to face near the end of our road... LOL!

They drove me the rest of the way, dropped me off, my SO drove me back to town, temporarily fixed my truck's problem (corrosion on a battery terminal), then as I drove my truck back home, my SO bought a new battery terminal in town, installed it when he got home, so now I should not have to worry about having that problem again for a long time, if ever... Old truck though, so... *sigh*

I got off subject, but I was thankful that I'd began walking a week before my truck broke down, so I was in a little better shape to walk the 2 miles I walked than I would have been, had I NOT been walking for a week LOL!

More later, gang!

*snicker*
