I Plan to Move It, Move It

First, for the record, I have not found this covid vaccine to hit me that hard. I gave myself permission to take it easy this weekend, but other than soreness in the upper arm area pretty much right away, and an increase in that from overnight Sunday, it hasn't been bad at all. Less sore today than yesterday, in fact. Right now, it's the other side of my back that's giving me more trouble! (I have a persistent trouble area in my mid-left back and it has been acting up the last few weeks, ow.)

Next, tomorrow being October means it's the start of Elisabeth's Cool Bloggers Walking Club, wherein a random bunch of people are planning to move intentionally for ten minutes every day in October. I am going to try to do it daily, as I did last October, while not giving myself a hard time for imperfection*. 
*"Screws fall out all the time. The world is an imperfect place." Name that movie.

A few points:

• No, you don't have to be a blogger, all are welcome
• No, it doesn't have to be walking, just moving (as I reference in the title of this post, from the oddly catchy song from a movie I've never seen)
• For the full story, I refer you to Elisabeth's blog.

I've been thinking about when to walk. Thing is, here in Florida, it's still hot. I don't say this to rub it in anyone's face, it's just a fact. I checked the weather at 4:30 today, when I was done with work:

That's a bit warm to be out in the sun.

Now, walking in the morning would probably be a better idea, though it doesn't actually cool down that much at night (the forecast right now says that at 7 tomorrow morning, it will be 76 and feel like 81). But the bigger problem with morning walks is that I am all the way at the opposite end of the spectrum from "morning person," and I have enough trouble getting myself out of bed and ready for work at 8. I'm just not excited to add even 15 minutes more into that struggle.

This evening, though, it occurred to me that I could just ... go for a walk at 8:50pm. So I did. It was still warm:

But without sunlight, and with a nice breeze most of the way around the block, it wasn't too bad: I got warm, but not overheated. And other than a section of sidewalk that I had to divert around because sprinklers were going, it was very peaceful. I saw something small and fast zip into the bushes at one point, and at another, I could hear some sort of critter that was chittering and hooting, but there wasn't much else happening.

I did stop for a minute to take a moon-with-palm-tree picture.

So as a proof of concept, that's a definite possibility.
