 out for a walk. Oh, I heard this guy's bike behind me before I saw him and it kind of scared me a little bit. Anybody need to get some fresh air with me? The streets are so eerily quiet. This is the first time I've walked my neighbor since we've been on quarantine, my neighborhood. I try not to walk my neighbor. Oh, wouldn't it be nice to be out on that boat right now? Usually I go to the park and walk, but I thought I would try out here first. Hi Lou. Hi honey bunny right back at you. What you doing? I'm walking my neighborhood. I'm going to turn you guys around in a minute here. I just want to be on that boat. Who wants to go with me onto that boat? It's just so quiet and eerie out here. Well, you know what? This morning Steve gave me an admonishment. He said, oh, in fact, we should switch hands so that it records. He says I'm going to check your Fitbit even though it's a Garmin. Oh, nobody wants to walk with me, huh? Where'd everybody go? I'm out of range. I think I'm out of range. Anyways, I can talk to myself. You need to get out because my joints have been hurting. So I'm out here giving my body the love that it needs. And it's beautiful, but it's silent. I love this house. I'm going to show you guys this house. And it's just the cutest house. Look at those bushes. The cutest house. I love this house. And I love it because it wraps around. I would love to have a corner lot. Another gorgeous day in Simi Valley. Look at no movement at all. And then we'll get up to the main street up there and see. Isn't it though, Karen? Isn't it just darling? I love it. We have a lot of really pretty houses out here. Steve's been talking about getting out of our townhouse. I'm getting hi, Cam. Hi, guys. I'll scroll back in a minute and say hello to everybody. It's raining in New Jersey. You know, I don't know what the, what the temp is. Oh, gotta switch hands. This is a nice house, too. This is a nice tree. Look at that tree. Isn't it, Greg? You're walking too, Jill. Good job. Any little bit of movement that we could get, as long as we're doing it safely? We need to do it. We can't. I can't. I should speak for myself. Just let my body get lazy, sit on the couch, watching movies. Last night was the first. Steve and I watched a couple of movies together. And it actually surprisingly went well. I'm not a big movie watcher. Just not. Hold on. Somebody's trying to cut in, our governor. Everybody doing okay? I have nothing to say, but I thought I would just share my beautiful weather. Maybe if somebody was doing what I was doing, and that was becoming one with my couch and making another haul. Look at this tree. I'm not either, Lou. Isn't this a nice topiary tree? I just, I don't have the attention to sit through a movie unless it's something that just really tickles me. We watched Chances Are. I love Chances Are. I think it's the cutest movie ever. And then we watched The Bad News Bears, which strangely enough, Steve had never seen. And that's one of my dad's movies that I extraed in. So he's so funny. He kept rewinding the part that I'm in. Finally, I left the room and told him to tell me when he was done. And then what did we do? I think we went to bed. But yeah, I'm working on making a new haul in the new couch. And I can't do that. So today's Monday. I'm going to start out here on my neighborhood. I'm going to do one haul round. See, this is, hang on, let me show you guys this. This is our busiest street by our house. This is like the main street. Keep nobody on it. We've got a lady in her dog up here. I'm going to have to walk around her. That's awesome, Karen. But you're getting the steps in. I haven't been getting anything in. We'll just walk back here behind them. I am in the bleachers, Lou. I'm in several, several spots. But there's one spot. You can see me the best. And it's right after they bring Amanda in the pitch. I took a still of it. I think I put it on my Instagram. I'm sitting on the bleachers with my cool poker shells and you know, my groovy 70s hairdo. So what's everybody else doing? Anything? Has anybody got Matt walked out today? Oh, there's. See, I don't know how. Should I go in the street to do the social distancing? Okay, she's going to go in the street. I'll show you guys the current situation. Well, I guess unless it was Steve, I couldn't write on. Hi there. On the back of the zoom spike. You're going to start walking help. It'll just, it just makes you feel better in the sunshine if you can go outside. Let's stop here. Let me stop here and say hi. Belinda. Hello, Kim. Hello. Did I say hello to everybody? This is what we've come to. I remember I used to come out here on my walks and I would just have motivational stuff, man. I sit on one of the benches and I'd be so excited to give you guys some oomph. And I'm fresh out right now. And I think because it's not on the forefront of my mind because you know what? I'm doing okay. I double check my tracker this morning. I've stayed at my points every single day. Is it sketchy hope? It's because I'm out here on the streets. You know what, Lou? Good for you, Connie. Lou, I can feel my back hurts. And that's the first trigger to any kind of problem. Oh, we've got a bench coming up here and then we can sit and talk intimately. When my back starts hurting, I know that I need to get my happy ass out here and start trucking all of her still just grandmothers. I thought he was going to go home last night but she said he's going to stay there for a couple more days and it makes it easier for me to be out here because he hates getting out. But other than that, I have nothing, man. I just wanted to say hello. Hello. Hi. Hello. That's a combination of hi and hello. Let's go right here. Look. Oops. Hang on. Hang on. Hi, Cindy. We're just taking a walk. I'm just bringing you guys with me. We're going to sit on this nice bench. I don't know what these are but I can smell them. What are those, guys? I think those gardenias on the other side of this wall. Okay. Let's sit like Forrest Gump and talk. Cindy Connie says she texted today to see what you guys think about her going to New York to help. All right. I missed something. Oh, for your daughter. Your daughter is going to go to New York to help. Kim. Major stress-eating exhaust is still working as a nurse. Thank you, Kim. But so first, Zoom virtual meeting yesterday and Wade myself and it was ugly. Welcome to the ugly. Well, I can't say that but you're not a long honey. Getting back on track tomorrow, prepping today. There you go. Perfect. It's, you know, I'm just keeping it at bay. I'm not having anything that's the only, the only thing that's keeping me from eating stuff I shouldn't eat is not having it in the house. That's it. And I look back at some of my pictures that I posted on Instagram today from two years ago. My news keeps popping in. I want to look like that again. And I'm not going to let it all go to hell in a hand basket because we're having a crisis when I'm not a nurse. I'm not an essential worker. I'm nobody important. There's no reason for me not to be able to do this. We have all the foods we need. And that's that. Connie, what state does she live in? Your daughter. I don't bring my water with me. See, this is just freaky to me. This is a major thoroughfare through here. That's good. Everybody's doing what they should do. Maybe the park will be okay to go to. Maybe I can go to the park. I got Mickey on my head, June Mountain on my shirt. I talked to my friend Cindy this morning for a while. I think that's the key to keep, to keep me from, she's in Arizona. That's a long trip. That's not like when the days of covered wagons are near. So talking to her helped. I think I told her this every morning and we call her and talk to her. Oh, my governor must be on because they keep sending me. Connie, please tell your daughter, thank you. Absolutely. Thank you. Absolutely. Let's keep tricking. Let's not sit too long. Let's get my back stretched out. That's what it feels like, Lou. It's like, I don't know everything what it feels like. I don't know. But I need to get more active. I just been sleeping way too much. Okay, I'm just reading what everybody said. Make sure I'm caught up. And for anybody who is doing stress eating, don't be hard on yourself, please. There's enough stress out there that you don't need to be, you know, putting it on yourself as well. Connie says, I want my normal back. Your normal back. I don't know. So quiet with the park it's like. See, I go to the park because the bathrooms are up there. Oh, here's also something that I wanted to tell you guys. I decided to have a regular sandwich today instead of a lay rat. And usually we have the 45, excuse me, calorie bread. Like how I turned my head since it was tough on you guys. And something made me scan it and Steve bought a higher point of bread. So keep scanning guys. Make sure nothing's changed. Make sure your points are correct in your tracker. Keep tracking, even if you're going to the negatives, even if you go over your points, keep tracking. In the end, that's what saves us all because if we just get in the habit like I have, oh, look, they finally put, I have to tell you, these guys I have been asking them, trying to turn you around in a tent to fill these up. And they finally did now that nobody's out here. But I think the key is to do it, do it, do it, back, back, back, back. There's just come a second nature like it does to me. I wish there was something I could do. There's nothing, oh, I guess I just need to do some self-care. It's warm out here. Did anybody do anything different over the weekend? Did you listen to any different kinds of music like Steve and I were talking about? So much. You know what, maybe we'll cut down here. What do you think? Should we cut down here through this neighborhood? Cut across. It's going all the way around. Let's go see if this house sold. This house on the corner. Oh, it did sell. So cute. And it would have been perfect because Oliver would have been able to stay. I hope we're a sweetie pie. This house here right on the corner. One thing about our town that I think is so right on, first of all, all of our corners have handicapped, you know, those things for the handicapped, every single corner. And also every single house in our town has RV parking. So that all the folks, all the RVs cannot park on the streets. Therefore it is a prettier place to see. The other thing is you will, well, obviously we're not in town town, but billboards already live in here. Signs of any sort. Look at this house. Isn't it just so awesome. So I live where I live. It's just a beautiful place. Let's cut up through here. See where it takes us. It's so quiet. I should be listening to some music when I'm done with you kids. I'm not, maybe I'll put on a little, I have a, I started to run a little bit halfway into my weight watching when I got, when I lost my 50 pounds. So I have a running list that has everything from black Sabbath to Benny Goodman to the bangles. Everything's very upbeat. Now look how nice this little neighborhood looks. Whoops. There's some folks. I hope this goes through. I hope I'm not going to have to turn around and go all the way back and around again. But anyways, when I put on that certain playlist and I just get you going, all this quiet, it's kind of hard to, let me stop and say they are outstanding Lou. Even, you know, yesterday Steve and I were in the kitchen and we're hugging and he had his back to the bay window and I was looking at the bay window. We were hugging, he was stretching my back out for me. And I said, look at this view. And, you know, it's things like this that make us do things that we should do on the regular, like stop and look at our view. I mean, we have the most beautiful view from our kitchen. Okay, I think I might be stuck back here because let me show you guys. Okay, so that goes out that way. I think that ends that way. Should we go this way and see where it takes us? It's a cute little house too. Oh, now this house kind of looks like that yellow house that we looked at in the back, doesn't it? There's the news team. Shoot, I don't know which way I go. I think I'll go left. When all fails, go left. So anyways, we're standing there in the kitchen hugging and pulling my back out and stuff. And we just stood there and looked out and enjoyed it and reminded each other that that's why we purchased the home that we purchased was because of where it is and the views and how much we love our house. You know that we truly, uh-oh, this is a dead end. Somebody's gonna have to call somebody here to come and get me. This is a definite way to get your steps in is a, uh-oh, let's see. Just keep going. And if you hit a dead end, you got to turn around and go back. Let's see what we got here. Let's see. That's our freeway up there. Can you see it? That is, if you guys remember when President Reagan passed away in the head, that's the freeway that goes to the Reagan Library. Look at me just walking out in the middle of the street. I hope this goes through you guys. Oh, you know what? I have a feeling I bet Lou. Who was I listening to? I was listening to one of my YouTubers while I lay down, but I wasn't watching them and they were talking about how green it was, but it wasn't a weight-watcher YouTuber. It was a Disney Tuber. All my poor Disney YouTubers, they just don't know what to do with themselves. Although I have to say they're, they're keeping super busy. You know what? This is the weird thing. The dogs aren't even barking. Usually when I walk, the dogs are barking. Well, I hope this comes out somewhere. If I have to turn around and go all the way back. I have my black Yvette leggings on, so it's pretty toasty out here. I have a feeling that this is going to come around to my street strangely enough. Where is everybody? If I had this in black and white, it's looking that way Karen. Hi Paige. Wish you could be here with me to have a cocktail cruise on our newly cleaned Pantoo boat. Honey, I would do it even if we were just sitting in the driveway. Raining here. Hi Gina. And you know kudos to you guys who do walk on your treadmills because I've tried it before when we lived in a place that had like a community gym and I just couldn't do it. So that's a total non-scale victory right there. I want to go swimming. Hey, I wonder what would happen if I went into my pool. Surely someone would call the fuzz on me, right? It's going to be interesting to see where we end up. At least one of you guys is going to have to stay here with me to make sure I get somewhere. Isn't that interesting in what's happening right now? I'm not lost, I'm joking, but if I were and I had to knock on the floor, what is it saying? The kindness of strangers? Nobody would answer their door or let me use their phone or I don't know. I guess I could put on my GPS. No doubt Lou, absolutely. Steve said last night talking about nasty neighbors. Remember the older lady I told you guys about? Karma's come to bite her in the ass. We hope that her kids are checking on her because she's been so horrible to all of the neighbors. I don't think anybody's, she's fine. We see her, she's fine, but nobody has gone out of their way to, you know, when she goes to a neighbor's house and she says, oh look at the kids to chalk art. They're making too much noise because the woman on the other side was literally dying and was on a respirator and she went and knocked on their door and said they had to find some way to make it quieter because it was disturbing her. Can you even imagine? Okay, we're good. I'm over, okay, we're good. I'm good. I know where I am. Paige, you lost? Did you see my comment on Sunday post? Yeah. Yes, I think that's hysterical. And you know it's funny about that. Okay, wait, what's, oh there's Cooner. Okay, so see what we did here kids? We just went around the back. So let's go back up through the front. Okay, that was a nice little distraction. You know, I take my phone or my iPad in the bathroom with me when I'm taking a shower because I like to listen to the tunes and I always think, what if there's a way that I accidentally left the camera on and they can all see me in here. These are, I wish I could take you guys up here to Rocky Peak. When the sun hits these mountains at sunset, I swear it feels like you're on another planet, it feels like you're in like the twilight zone or something because it goes, well, it surrounds me obviously and it casts this beautiful, beautiful light off of the rocks. There's the girl with the dog. She went around the other way. I'm so glad you guys are here with me. I'm sorry that you're so bored. You are here with me, but it's certainly making me feel better. Here I'll go. I'm standing back so she can get ahead. Hello Bonita. That horrible, horrible, horrible person. I mean, I can't even imagine. And the woman passed away the next day, too. So then one day, she, what was happening? She had some kind of incident. It was minor. It wasn't like, maybe she opened a garage door, couldn't get it open or something. Then she asked that gentleman, husband of the woman who passed, if he would help her. And he just shook his head and closed the door on her. I mean, he wouldn't have left her in the middle of the desert or anything like that. But that's just how she's looking for rocks. Do you guys have that thing you can where people paint rocks and then they hide them all over town and the people can go look for the rocks. I want to go around her. I don't want her to feel like she has to do it. What you guys? Oh, you have a butterfly? Let me see. Don't worry. I'm not going to go closer than six feet, but we want to see your butterflies. Oh, she's finding out. And what are you going to do with them? She's trying to save them from going in the road. You guys probably can't bear her. Good job, my lady. Oh my gosh. Wow. Look at you. We'll call you the butterfly whisperer. I'll go around you, sweetheart. Take your time. Just make sure I don't trip over a sprinkler head, because that wouldn't be pretty. Isn't she cute? Yeah, it is a beautiful, beautiful dog. But your dog is named Mishka. She's pretty. She looks like she's wearing events too. Do you guys think that was six feet? Oliver's online school starts today, so I have to go in and pull all that up. Okay, let me see what you said. Memphis Rocks. I missed something with Memphis Rocks. There is a lot of... Who's a bike rider? I need to take my bike up first again. Maybe I'll do that. Sorry, guys. Sorry to have you all up my nose like a rubber hose. Oh, Memphis Rocks. Yeah, ours is Simi Rocks. They get so creative, man. They paint the most beautiful things on those little rocks. Oliver's found quite a few. He hasn't stockpiled in his bedroom. I keep trying to tell him you need to take him back to somebody else can find him, but he's having trouble with that concept. Let's see, speaking of Oliver. Nope, not yet, Connie. He's still in his other grandmother's house. I don't know what they're doing, but I'm happy. He's happy. They're happy. Only 3,800 steps. It sure feels like more. This house up here... I'm going to see if I can show it to you guys. There's this... Oops, hang on a second. Come on, Anita. Can you guys see that white mansion type thingy up there in the hills? I guess it's something having to do with energy or living green or something like that. I need to Google it. Someday, maybe during this whole thing, because I can drive, I'll take you guys back up in there into Rocky Peak. It's super pretty. Super pretty. This is Santa Susana Pass. If anybody is so bored, they want to see where I am. I'm at the east end of SUNY Valley. This is the Santa Susana Pass up here, and I can't tell from... I wish I could just show you the whole thing when you're on the freeway up there. You look down and we are just sitting in this valley of our own, and it's so interesting, because I remember when I was dating Steve, I had to drive in on that freeway every night, because of course I had come see him. He couldn't come see me, right? And it's two interesting things. This is super interesting. I would look down here on this spot, and I would think, wow, what a lovely place to live. That looks like a super lovely place to live. Well, Steve, okay, so let me show you guys something. So here's the end of this street, Cooner, okay? And then at that end of the street, right down there, is where Steve lived with my cousin. Okay, are you with me so far? So we would often go up here to the Santa Susana Cafe. Let me see if I can get... Hold on, let me get closer. This little stop, so you guys can see it. Can you see it? Because I have this sun in my eyes. I don't know if I even have my phone on the right spot. Anyways, there's a little cafe up there, and we would often go there for breakfast or lunch or whatever. A mail. And as we were driving down the street, I saw, I would look at this complex, and I always thought, wow, that would really be a lovely complex to live in. And I'll be gosh darned if both of those things didn't happen to me, right? I got the honey, I got the little valley, and it got the complex. Because at the time, this is all we wanted, needed, because we didn't know Oliver was going to be coming and living with us. Or else we'd have bought a larger home, a regular house. But it's home, we love it, we do well in it, and I think it's just interesting how things turn out. So quiet, thirsty, I'm ready for my water. Benita, how many miles do I walk? That's on the norm before this thing hit. I walk, I try to walk a minimum of four miles a day. What I would do is walk all over to school, and then walk a couple miles, go home, do chores, have lunch, then I'd head out again. I'd usually go to the park, do about three miles there. And then in the evening, because my anxiety comes in the evening, I would leave the boys to eat their dinner and then I'd head out again. But I've been slacking, but that's what I was telling the girls, that I have to get back at it now. My body will appreciate it. Every time I'm tempted to go lay in bed, I'm just going to put on my tennis shoes and walk. I think that's the only answer. I can't be making any more hauls. Thanks, Hope. Thanks, Darlin. I appreciate that. And I can do it. And I just need to get back to doing it. There's no real reason for me to be sitting around my house. Oh gosh, okay. So here's the kids. Okay, so we pay our HOA a month. You guys, okay, a month, our HOA is almost $400. That is so, the grounds are kept up. But those of you guys who have HOA, you know what it is for. I'm trying to turn you around and make a point. They keep our neighborhood looking absolutely gorgeous. They do a wonderful job. And, okay, these kids aren't the offenders. But there are some kids that, oh, shit, they're all out here. They think it's just okay to come out, rip up the plants, see that center divider right there. We're going to walk through the thick of it. Hopefully, I don't start sparring with anybody. Keep me here, you guys, or else. So anyways, my problem isn't with the kids playing. The kids, they have to play. See that lamppost right there? Why is that lamppost down? Because they were pushing on it and it fell over and nobody's done anything. So I don't know what's going on here. But anyways, we pay a lot of money for the HOA. The kids come out. They go in the center of the roundabout. They just rip up the plants. They just rip everything up. So what are we paying? You know, what are we paying all that money for? I'm going to turn you around because these guys are nothing compared to them. Which I already have, and I've already said what they enjoy. So that'd be that. Trying to stay out of trouble. Trying to stay out of trouble. Just trying to stay out of trouble. Oh, I should have brought my keys and checked the mail. They come in here. Look how pretty those flowers are. They just come in here and rip this stuff out. Like, you know, it's a free brawl. And Steve is able to keep his cool. I am not. This is the front of my house. Isn't that interesting? I love it because you know why no one knows what's going on inside. It's all over. I hope all of us never out there. Kitty doll. She's going to bark. She can't see anymore. She doesn't know who's coming in. Well, we did it, guys. Kitty dog. Where is she? Oh, she must be on my bed. Let's see if she's in there. Hi, kitty girl. Hi, kitty doll. Come on. Let's go in here. Let's open up some windows. Okay, time to get my water. I carry this to put my phone in when I'm not looking at you guys because I don't have my pockets. Aren't I a sight? It's up in the window. That's my walking story. I love you guys who hung in here with me. It gives me a sense of peace. It gives me a sense of not being so alone in this time of feeling so alone, right? Let's get our water. Then I'm going to let you guys go. If you don't have any water right now, go with me and get your water. Come on, kitty girl. Here's my Mickey shop and then here's my Mickey that Kim Griffin made for me, the diamond art. Isn't that just the nicest thing? She is a sub here. She's one of the original 35. That's him. Here's my family on my niece's 21st birthday. There's me and my dad. Look how cute he is. Is he just the cutest dang thing in the world? I got the blue fairy up there. There's Steve's mom. Here's our wedding picture. Yes, some of my, I like anything Mexican Mickey. These guys are my favorites. Okay, kitty, here I come. Here I come. Where's mama's water? Where'd my water go? Here it is. Thanks you guys. You totally rock. You totally did your good deed for the day. I'm going to chow down on some water. I'm mighty thirsty. I think I'm going to put some shorts on and I might go over and put my toes in the pool. Those guys aren't delinquent on me, but drink your water. Know your bathroom is. Love you.
