It's in the cards

Today I was looking on the Weight Watchers website and there is a four-page spread on Disney World AND fantastic links that I wish I had when I was there last time (including the bus schedule from Downtown Disney to Seaworld).

One of the big things was the amount that you walk while at Disney:

1	Walk. The average guest logs 5 to 6 miles a day — probably without even realizing it! Check this chart for the typical distance between popular areas.

Path (Point A to B)	Distance (miles)
BoardWalk Resort in Epcot area to Disney’s Hollywood Studios	0.9*
Around Barefoot Bay at Caribbean Beach Resort in Epcot area	1.4
Magic Kingdom entrance to Space Mountain	0.5
Animal Kingdom entrance to Safari	0.9
Around World Showcase Lagoon (Epcot international pavilions that surround the water, including Canada, United Kingdom, France, Morocco, Japan, The American Adventure, Italy, Germany, China, Norway and Mexico)	1.2

So this is right in keeping with my goals to be able to walk three miles.  I swear the day I walk 3 miles I am booking my trip - even if it overlaps with my daughter's wedding!

This morning I did the hot tub and pool before work.  It was so great to get it out of the way - but it still took me over an hour to get into the city - even at the early hour.  I was glad to have it off my plate because then I was able to visit my mother at lunch.  She is the happiest I've seen her.  She was moved to an Alzheimer's unit on Monday.  My brother, sister-in-law and I went in on Sunday to bring her personal items and to hang pictures and to make it homey.  She said she likes her new "apartment" (it is the identical room/bed that she had before but on a different floor). They have activities like clipping coupons and making shopping lists so she will be right in her element.  They also adjusted her medication so she is no hallucinating about her car in the garage or the baby carriages in the room next door.  I hope that from here, even though her condition is deteriorating, that it only gets better....

My knee has been "zinging" like crazy - I think the nerves are growing back.  There's a spot where the doctor peels back the skin to do the surgery and it can either stay numb forever, or "zing" like it is doing today - which is a GOOD thing.  I think it was all my walking yesterday, and my swimming this morning that is doing it. I must be bringing in good circulation by doing all that movement.

All good.
