family and gym

cattitude and I both woke up early today, so we went for a walk in the park while it was still relatively cool. That was nice: swallows and dragonflies and a turtle (maybe two) and the park is looking reasonably green for the moment.

Around 11, I made us some matzoh meal latkes for an early lunch, and then headed downtown to the gym. A good, solid workout: cardio, some weights, a little mat stuff, almost none of the things Emily has taught me because I did a lot of them at home on Saturday.

From there, I went to my aunt's house, for a pleasant afternoon with her and my mother (and my aunt's husband and mother-in-law, but they weren't sitting with us as much and tend to be very quiet). Good conversation: no deep revelations, but I wasn't looking for any. I told her a bit more, and my aunt a bit, about the stuff with the trainer, and how it's working (pretty well) and did my best to explain the difference between a personal trainer and a physical therapist, but noted that I'm not sure what education a trainer needs. In a couple of days, Mom will be heading off for the next bit of her trip; I'll likely be seeing her next in November, which is why we have just gotten together three times in seven days.
