    Sibiu Later, Alligator!

    Hi Gram! Our time here in Sibiu has come to an end, but with the weather mostly cooperating, we built great memories! I got up early this morning to do my walk and stairs. They were setting up a market with tents and stalls in one of the squares as I walked by, so I…

  • Rain, Go Away!

    Rain, Go Away!

    Hi Gram!It’s morning in Sibiu. Well, to be less dramatic it’s morning in Europe, Africa, and a lot of Asia. But I’m not in all those places, so Sibiu is what matters to me. I didn’t sleep well last night. The room was warmer than I would have liked and I didn’t realize this until…

  • Ooh! An Adventure!

    Ooh! An Adventure!

    Hi Gram!We’re headed to Sibiu today, so I woke up excited to tackle the day. Today is a rest day from the gym, but I still went to get my stairs done. When I left the gym, I checked my average and I’m back up to my 40 floors averaged per day so far this…

  • Just A Day

    Just A Day

    Hi Gram!It was hard getting out of bed this morning, but I did it! I did my puzzles and journal then dragged my butt to the gym for my upper body workout. I felt proud to have gone, as is usually the case. I took the long way around to get there, then took a…

    Collagen Run

    Hi Gram!Another beautiful day in Braşov. Well, it was overcast and cold, but I had a beautiful memorable time. I woke up early and was ready to go. I knocked out my morning routine, got dressed and headed to the gym by 7:30! Unfortunately, it was Saturday so they weren’t open until 9. Undeterred, I…

    Only 10,000

    Hi Gram!What a wonderful day! I woke early and did my puzzles and journal, then headed to the gym. Today was lower body day and I changed up how I approach the exercises a little. I’m liking my new scarf, too, although I think I look a little too cozy all bundled up when it’s…

  • Tired Feet

    Tired Feet

    Hi Gram!I had a very active day today, walking more than 20,000 steps. The day began like many others, puzzles journal and gym. I ended up doing extra floors on the stair master while I waited for Amber and Bob to finish up their workouts. Then after breakfast and some noodling around, we decided to…

  • A Bran New Day

    A Bran New Day

    Hi Gram!Brrr! It turned cold here yesterday and today. It’s a little below my comfort level now. More on that later. I also didn’t sleep well last night. None of us did, unfortunately. We got some pastries from the cake shop yesterday and realized this morning that they might have had espresso powder on the…

  • Adolescent Humor

    Adolescent Humor

    Hi Gram!What a day! This is how life should be lived. I woke up this morning a little before my alarm, raring to go. I did my puzzles and journal, then headed to the gym at 9. There were four people, including me, in the whole place (well, plus staff.) I did my upper body…

  • Another Gorgeous Day

    Another Gorgeous Day

    Hi Gram!I woke up before my alarm this morning, so I did my puzzles and journal then did some ChatGPT “research” until I got up around 8. Then we all headed to the gym, Bob joining us now that his knee was a little better. I had a really good workout, pushing myself enough that…
