I got the 300 min Gold Medal Bike Resolution badge from SunnyFit app! It is almost the half-month mark, and my New Year’s Eve resolution of adding a twice weekly treadmill walking to my weekly biking is going well.

Double Workout
By Andrea Menzies
Woot, I made it to a 180 day workout level for my New Year’s Resolutions app workout on SunnyFit. I normally go on a health kick for New Year’s Eve but seeing a friend’s death online really made my workout urge double.

Voted
By Andrea Menzies
I finally voted after verification of my address four places. One of the reasons I was ranting about people not believing my address yesterday was they were trying to keep me from voting this week. I was still doing address verification at the social security office today. I can’t believe it is a mistake in a wild political year that people wrongly mixing up my address was a mistake. Why did four government places have it wrong only at voting time? I have a big family in many areas, and I visit them. Nothing normal is happening in any government building these days. Hopefully balance will restore to political power someday soon.

50 Years Rocky
By Andrea Menzies
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Rocky Horror Picture Show being played on Halloween. Fun fact, when I lived in New Orleans I was both Columbia and Magenta in two different productions of the Rocky Horror Picture Show at Loyola University New Orleans and the Prytania theater near campus. They wanted me to do more shows, but I was a university student with oceans of homework so I lacked the free time for that activity. I will always love how many fun friends I met doing a fun and campy Halloween show with many school friends. Fortunately there are a few places near my mom’s house in Virginia showing the Rocky Horror, and so I can still go there a bit. My review is it is a great show at any venue.

Double Pumpkin
By Andrea Menzies
My daughter and I painted Halloween pumpkins this week. I was teaching at schools doing pumpkin crafts, and it reminded me it was time to do our own. My pumpkin has the pointy eyes on the right. We like to use paint and markers as it takes longer to spoil.
Left Alexandria’s pumpkin, right my pumpkin.

Thanks For Wishes
By Andrea Menzies
Thank you Internet friends for wishing me a happy birthday. It is bittersweet in that I don’t get to see all the long distance friends I miss so much very often. I am happy to see them wish me a happy birthday, but unhappy that it reminds me I can’t visit them more frequently. It does remind me that I used to be far more socially active, and that I will go to nearby towns to make many new friends soon for events this month. I am a single woman that very much hates having no man to date. Halloween is a great time to meet people at events in towns not in Virginia at all.
- Note by far my favorite birthday gift was the Garmin 935 fitness watch and fitness band. Oh so inspirational for biking fun.
