Thanks @TopNotch! There are some amazing photographers on the Hive. It helps if you have a smartphone and great subject matter.

Thanks everyone for the positive photo responses. 
I've been sick with a virus since Sunday night. This week there's an audit at work that I'm responsible for, so I've been showing up to work and then coming home and planting myself on the couch. I am feeling a bit better today, yay!
The only thing I did today was:
PT exercises - 15 min
Endurance Workout - 1 set before my energy ran out. I guess after a very long workday that's ok.
The couch is calling....and my green non-dairy smoothie.

It is not at all stupid to not know abbreviations in a second language 
In fact, I think it's quite smart to ask and learn!

@graoumia Yes, @Maegaranthelas is correct. PT = physical therapy. I have weak areas in my back and doing my therapy exercises every day keeps me flexible. And the fact that you can read and write in another language makes you smarter than me!

It's been very warm this week; today it was 95F / 35C 
And that means lots of hand watering in the garden. After getting home late yesterday I spent two hours watering. I've got to get my irrigation system up and running.....
15 May workout:
PT exercises - 15 min
Workout of the Day - Hot Potato + Extra Credit
Core Strength - day 30 
it took me a while but I finished!
Hmm...what to do next?

@TopNotch @Syrius @Fremen @Anek @Maegaranthelas @MadamMeow This was my 2nd time through Core Strength, it's a good program.Yesterday I went for a massage, which was just what this tired body needed. It did aggravate the trigger point in my back, though, so I skipped the workout and applied ice. It's better today.
17 May workout:
PT workout - 15 min WoD - Cardio Combat - level 3 Spine Stability Workout from the Stability Workouts CollectionI'm enjoying the various collections that Darebee offers. They allow me to focus on particular areas without getting bored with the same workout over and over.
Happy Friday bees!

@NancyTree !My back was really hurting today when I got up. So my plans of dumping the trailer load of yard debris got cancelled. Which is okay, except the leaves, weeds and fallen branches are piling up! I did some watering but then the wind really kicked up and the plans of using the blower on the driveway and patio were cancelled too. I made whole wheat applesauce muffins instead.
18 May workout:
PT Exercises - 15 min WoD Here Be Dragons Just what I needed, a low impact workout Back Pain Workout Time for an icepack. Have a nice evening bees.

@Anek thank you!
Yesterday was busy and I wasn't home long so:
19 May workout:
PT exercises - 15 min
20 May workout:
PT exercises - 15 min
Full Body Kettlebell Workout - One of my favorite workouts. I've been missing my kettlebells.
Standing Core Workout - I had to stop after 1 set; the twisting motions were not good for my back. Maybe another day.
Have a nice evening bees!

Such a hectic day! The end of school (for students) is looming. Meanwhile everything gets cranked up a notch as we plan end of year activities, fiscal year end, prep for next year. We had a taco bar office potluck today which helped smooth things out.

Today is my last day off before returning to work. My plans for the weekend were changed as I had a major back flare up. Sitting in a car and driving for 7 hours were out of the question so I cancelled my trip. My friend was very understanding about my change of plans and is looking forward in the near future to when we can have our visit. Mostly I rested my back but as the pain diminished I did some careful puttering about the house and garden. Daughter spent most of her waking hours with her boyfriend so it was quiet. I think that was what I needed.
I am beginning again. I press on.
28 May Workout:
PT exercises - 15 min
Walk, Run, Repeat Workout - level 1
Everyday Stretching Light Workout
