I have never been much into working out. I have always led such a busy and hectic life at home and at work that I thought that I had been keeping in shape due to that. But I was so wrong and I need to do something about it and soon. I have an extra room in the house that I’m planning on turning into an exercise room and have turned to the Internet to find the equipment that I want and need.

First off I want to find a workout bench, then I’ll look for a decent exercise floor mat to do my floor work on. I’d like to look into taking some yoga classes, I hear that they do wonders for the body, heart and soul, sounds good to me. I’d like to find a class that is for females only. It would be a turn off to be surrounded by a bunch of gawking men, ya know?

There is a ton of equipment out there that I’ll be eyeballing the next couple of months. An exercise ball would be cool and then there are wrist and ankle weights and the list goes on and on. I’ll be stopping by at yard sales a bit more often in order to find some of the needed equipment. It has been too hot this summer to be doing much yard sales, but now I’m on a mission, so it’s all good!

I hate it when it is so hot out that you get so hot and sweaty and just feel down right funky. Then I walk into a store or resturant that is nice and cold with the air conditioner going full blast and I freeze to death. I know there is no pleasing me. I’m either too hot or too cold, arg………..

The family dog that went on a 2 day adventure and ended up 5 miles away from the house is still tired out, big time. She isn’t eating much, but is drinking a ton of water, so she goes outside to do her business and that is about all she does these past few days. I’m hoping that she is all right and that she will be back to her old self soon.

I remember the first time I heard of Mesothelioma Cancer. I was working as a cashier at a department store and one of my co workers was telling me about her uncle who had just been diagnosed with Mesothelioma. He had contacted it during his time he spent serving his country with the Navy on a submarine.

It was right about that time that I started seeing commercials for a local attorney who has been advertising his services for people that have been diagnosed with Mesothelioma Cancer. It was a ten dollar word that I had no idea of it’s meaning, until my discussion with my co worker. Since then I have been hearing more and more about Mesothelioma and I’m glad that people are becoming aware of this particular type of cancer. I’ve run across a web site about Surviving Mesothelioma, that offers a free book that is a patient’s guide and available by signing up at  Survivingmesothelioma.com.

It is my intention to help pass this information along in my blog to anyone who may need this type of information or know of someone in need. It’s all good.

I am sending information about The Orchid Recovery Center for Women to a gal that I used to work with years ago at the Insurance Company that I worked for many years ago. She has since moved to Florida, we kept in touch pretty much via emails every now and then. I am very worried about her. She and I were considered the “party gals” of the office, we did get into some pretty crazy things back then I have to admit, but than was then and this is now. I’ve settled down one heck of a lot, but she on the other hand seems to have kept on going “full speed ahead” as they say and I think she needs some help.

I’ve done a bit of research on the Internet about Recovery Center’s in her part of Florida and found The Orchid Recovery Center to be the one that I would consider, if the need be. I spent a good amount of time reading The Orchid Center Charity Blog and am urging her to do the same, it had some cool things to say that I think she might appreciate.

I’m hoping that I’m not going to piss her off. One has to be careful on how they approach folks on subjects like this, I just want to help in any way that I can. That’s one thing that I’m good at, or so I’m told from time to time.
