'Stay at Home' quarantine road trip #6

Day 6: Terre Haute to home ~

Short drive from Terre Haute, uneventful and light traffic. Gas prices steadily going up from the lowest price we saw in Oklahoma, it's 1.75 at home but I hear Costco is 1.45 - haven't been yet so I can't confirm that. Oh, and in case you think whatever state you live in has the worst roads - I can attest to Michigan being the worst we went thru! Arizona wasn't good, but better than Michigan - I can say that I'm a good tester of that, being in the big ol' Nessie RV it's very obvious when the roads are bad! Like can't talk across the cabin we're banging around so much - even my in ear noise reducing headphones didn't work. Long day and now I have a headache!


Anyway, it's good to be home. Unloaded our house on wheels and are now back to 'staying at home' in our actual house. Room to roam, and LOTS of crafting supplies here :)

Just had a TERRIBLE thought that hadn't occurred to me until right now....I bet non-crafty people making the rules think that craft stores are 'non-essential' and have closed them!!! OH NOOoooooo!

Someone posted on FB last week an easy way to get in some exercise while being housebound - every hour for 8 hours do 25 glute bridges, 25 squats, 25 pushups. 8 hours worth proved too much; I managed 6 while still at the condo, and every time we stopped in the RV (which is only 3 or 4 times). Now that I'm at the house I'm going to try again to hit the 8 hour mark! Anyone else want to join me? Obviously there are lots more things we could add like crunches, planks, leg lifts, etc. but if I can manage the bridges, squats, and pushups I'll be happy.

I googled 'how to do a glute bridge' in case you don't know:

Lie face up on the floor, with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground. ... Lift your hips off the ground until your knees, hips and shoulders form a straight line. Squeeze those glutes hard and keep your abs drawn in so you don't overextend your back during the exercise.
