1. I made my last visit to the Kootenai Health Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program today. It was my 36th workout at this facility. I came home with a Certificate of Completion and, I'm happy to say, much praise and encouragement. My work in this program succeeded. I increased my exercise capacity significantly and I've lost weight. I began this program with a six minute walk and I did another one today. That went very well. The staff at the rehab gym were friendly, encouraging, and knowledgeable. Now, I'll have to continue to work out at the Fitness Center in Smelterville and rely more on myself for monitoring my vitals and for encouragement and inspiration.
2. Ed and I met near the Ironwood Square Starbucks and blasted over to the Spokane Tribe Casino to lay down a few (sure to unsuccessful) wagers. I made four wagers on the men's tournament (UConn, Houston, Creighton, and Arizona -- three of those picks based on sentiment) and a sentimental wager on Iowa in the women's tournament. We then hung around the casino and spun some reels and I enjoyed a refreshing glass of 10 Barrel Apocalypse IPA.
It was a fun afternoon. Neither of us had much good luck, but we relaxed and enjoyed ourselves and we hope at least one of us will need to return to cash in a winning ticket!
3. Back home, Debbie took over the kitchen tonight and roasted onion, chopped yams, and slices of jalapeño and cheese chicken sausage served with jasmine rice. As much as I love to cook, especially when it means fixing dinner for Debbie so she can relax after work and not have to think about food preparation, it was fun and a welcome and delicious change of pace to enjoy this dinner that she prepared.
