@fern46, I hope your deck turned out nice and the heat wasn't too intolerable. Did you end up sore or have your video workouts prepared you for the labor? It took more than two days for me to recover. Yesterday we finally enjoyed our deck, since the weather became milder. It's looking very nice, yet we still plan to add six flower boxes (begonias) to the railing. We're still waiting for a new umbrella to arrive. It's rough without one.

Hubby and I went to the swim hole yesterday. I got some sunburn. It was my fault for not putting sunscreen on. I didn't swim. I hate wearing bathing suits. I do feel a bit too chunky wearing one, yet many of the women (even younger women) were even chunkier than me. They were even wearing bikinis, while I wear a one piece with a little skirt. I think my hesitation has a bit to do with comparing myself to my old ballet/dancer self.
