Gym Is Open (Weekend)

Hi Guys, Well, my cold is back with a vengeance! Salt Lake Valley is blanketed in a thick smog from a temperature inversion. Even healthy people are having a hard time breathing, me, I'm a mess.... Not sure if I'll make it to the gym today...maybe the treadmill will do me good? I don't know, I have no energy. I feel real emotional today as well as tomorrow is my last radio show. I'm resigning from my volunteer deejay job after 10 years. It is bittersweet. What have you done to move your body this weekend? Lori

I remember those inversions -- the air would fill with sludge and it felt like you could chew it rather than breathe it. My mother had asthma and later COPD, and used to suffer a lot every January. Sorry you're having a hard time with it. What you need is a good rain, with just enough wind to blow the nasty air out of town. I'm surprised to hear you are leaving your DJ gig -- was it a choice or one of those things where they decided they wanted to go a different direction? After all that whining I did about the snow, it stopped abruptly and the sky is now blue. This is more typical of Colorado. I don't think we had six inches of snow, either, so I guess I owe weather dude an apology. I wonder if it shifted more toward PJ's area? I'm dog sitting the neighbor's red heeler today, and she requires a lot more activity than our lazy dogs, so I've been playing with her. I wish she'd lie down and take a nap! Kix PS: Hooray for Costco, they had the shrimp I wanted!

Kix, The inversion is really killing me. I may wear a face mask to walk outside just to my car as it puts me in a coughing jag! I left the deejay job of my own choice. I've been there 10 years. I've loved it, but, I work so much on my job that pays for things, it is hard to give up my whole Sunday to KRCL. I'm sure I will still sub once in awhile. It is bittersweet to leave though! Lori

Hey Lori, Hope your show goes well today - I can imagine it might be tough. Best wishes going your way. I think you gave me your cold! I've been miserable the past few days, although I did work out yesterday for my usual 1 hour of aerobics. Today, though, I'm going to lay in bed and drink warm broth and sleep all day. Work has been so busy lately and I just can't be sick this week! Al least I didn't have to shovel yesterday

PJ, I hope you are feeling better. I feel better unless I go outside then the inversion kills me! Lori
