But at the end of the session, we both felt better and were ready to take on the day!<\/p>\n<p>The gym session was excellent. We both waddled out and made it to the car before the first moan was heard. I think it was just our muscles protesting like grumpy children. We would have won \u201cBest Waddle\u201d at the animal Olympics if anyone had filmed it!<\/p>\n<p>From the gym, we went to Goodwill to donate eight boxes of items. Mary cleaned her closet, and I had some stuff to put away. Without the van, I shoved everything into the Silver Fox; the trunk and backseat were full! The Silver Fox looked like a &#8220;Low Rider!&#8221;!g<\/p>\n<p>On the way home, we discussed what we would wear to the upcoming St. Patrick&#8217;s Day dances. I remembered an episode of Amos &#8216;n&#8217; Andy in which Kingfish needed to get Sapphire a new dress.\u00a0 I found it on YouTube!
