Hoping to get out in the morning for one of my walks today, something I usually can't do. My second walk late at night last night was hard since I was tired at the end of a long live streaming teaching day, and I've got to live stream today again. Maybe it's just because it's all new, but live streaming is a lot more tiresome for me than face to face teaching was. I don't want to cut back on walking because of it.

Wow, it's hard for me to be glued to a computer screen teaching via live streaming rather than walking around in a classroom and in the hallway between classes teaching face to face. After a whole day of live streaming tethered to a screen my day ends with a lot of cabin fever. I went for walk #2 just now, and it's only 7:15pm. I may have to go for a 3rd walk before bed tonight just to get my ya-ya's out.

Being tied to a computer is hard, Muji. That use to be my life, but I enjoyed the variety of contract types and working with staff on resolving problems. I use to keep one of those bicycle peddlers under my desk.

Rizen, how are you? Have you been walking? I’ve been keeping up on my exercise and trying to lose a few pounds before my procedure in two weeks.

This morning I did my week's weigh in and I lost 2 pounds this week by walking! I'm so happy! I did 3 walks yesterday, and it really paid off. Hope you're walking, too, Rizen, and you're able to exercise, Secouya.

Yesterday was my birthday. I walked 2.1 miles then and 3 today.

Happy Birthday, Rizen! Congrats on the walks, too. Me, I walked twice yesterday. Let's keep it going.

Thanks. I walked a bit over 3 miles today.

Happy Birthday Rizen! I hope you had a. Nice birthday and you even got your walks in.

Over 3 miles, Rizen? Way to go. Since you put in some extra effort I decided to put some extra effort in, too. Instead of taking my 1st 30 min walk around my neighborhood as usual, I decided to drive to downtown, park, and do my walk there. I did, and since it was Labor Day weekend downtown was deserted enough for safe social distancing. Now for walk #2 today.

The air quality was too bad from the fires yesterday so I decided not to go out but I hiked about 3 miles today.

Yes the fires are causing bad air quality, aren’t they? I was at my Dads home over the weekend and ash was falling out of the sky like snow covering everything. I’m glad you were able to get in 3 miles today, Rizen.

Sorry for how the fires out where you all live are ruining the air quality these days. Where I live we had too much rain last week, ironically enough. Weather hasn't mattered much for me personally, though, as every waking minute has been spent getting my paper notes and paper textbooks for my 5 community college courses digitized on the fly day by day to teach live streaming online with no training for it. I just got in from taking tonight's 30 minute walk, though, thanks to knowing if I did it I could post about it here for support.

Good job Muji! It’s amazing how different weather is from one end of the states to the other., isn’t it? We are having a heat wave which is not helping the fire situation here. We have more than 20 fires going right now, I am just so grateful they are not close to either of my homes and my Dad is safe. Last year the fires were too close to my Dad for comfort. I hope things get easier with your classes. Online is a lot of extra work.

Rizen, were you able to walk? I know is some areas the air quality has been really bad. We could not even see the sun today because the smoke was so thick it looked like a foggy day.

Hope y'all were able to get some exercise in what with all of the smoke and fires today. I got my first walk in, hoping to get a second one in before bed time.

I walked 2 miles yesterday and 3 today.
