Decided to give another try to the Daily Method ballet exercise this morning. I've only done it once since I bought it because it was really tough, so I thought it was time to try to master it. Unfortunately, it would not play on the DVD player. It would play on the player hooked up to Bob's monitor for watching while he does the treadmill, but he has that TV set to deliver sound through headphones and I could not figure out how to put it back on room speaker. He had a difficult time getting it in headphone mode initially as I remember. I decided it was not meant for me to do Daily today, so I pulled out a Lotte Berk 30 min video and finished off with Cardio Hula to get some steps on the counter. Nice that choir practice was early today so we have the evening free. I'm finally getting a chance to make my turkey soup. Am looking at new assisted living options for Grandma where she can use the EZ Stand machine and not have to face her fear every time she has to get up from bed or wheelchair. Talked to her today and she was mightily relieved by this. May happen soon. This year's turkey soup has some new additions: kale, sauteed leek and fennel. Hope it's yummy!
