Back on the web

July 30, 2009

Here we are the evening of July 30th.  Yesterday was our son’s 28th birthday.  In two years, all of our children will be in their 30’s, it will be strange. 
I am typing from a new locale, not quite 2 miles from the other place.  It’s a quaint little house, smaller than the one we left, so you [...]

Why is the weekend gone?

July 19, 2009

I’ve got alot done, but I still have so much more to do.  It has been so hot in this house these afternoons, I’m not able to accomplish what I was hoping to.   It’s so hard to hear in this house with all the fans blowing and they are loud. 
I can actually walk into this computer room [...]

8 days and counting

July 16, 2009

I was hoping for a full day of packing today, however, we have so many errands to run.  We need to measure our furniture, then get the keys to the other house to figure out where things are going so the movers can quickly unload next week.  Then to the post office to deal with the change [...]

Pak Rat

July 14, 2009

I’ve been trying to walk on the treadmill each night, however, with the packing, I only have enough energy to walk about 2 miles a day.  I guess it’s a good thing that I’m still walking though.
Why do I always wait until the last minute to pack?  Now I’m scrambling and frettin’ … I’ve been [...]

Great Weekend

July 12, 2009

We met our oldest daughter and her family at Boomtown, west of Reno, on Friday.  They stayed in the RV section and we stayed in the hotel room.  I was really impressed with the room.  It was nicely updated and quite comfortable. 
It was so much fun, just hanging with them and the babies have gotten so big.  [...]

Nothing like a friendly competition to help the motivation!

What to do

July 8, 2009

I’ve been hitting the treadmill hard these past few days.  Well I should clarify, hard for me.  I walked to it this morning and my muscles did what the dog does when I want him to walk on the treadmill (go stiff and refuse to get any closer).  So, I didn’t and I probably won’t tonight, [...]

Another Monday

July 6, 2009

So I’ve walked 4.5 treadmill miles yesterday.  Tonight I walked a hair over 2 … tomorrow I’ll have to do the 4.5 or 5 miles.   We’ll see. 
Today the office was busy.  Not as busy as a normal summer day, however, busier than it has been in quite awhile.  We aren’t sure if it will continue [...]

I didn’t go

July 4, 2009

I was supposed to help serve the pancake breakfasts at the lake.  Well, after yesterdays outing in the sun … I was done with the sun for the weekend.  I’ve started taking my other diabetes medicine because it works differently from the one I was only using.  There are two  bad things about this med [...]

It is Friday, not Saturday

July 3, 2009

Hubby and I have thought today was Saturday, not Friday.  A good thing, since we are pleasantly surprised there is still 2 more days until Monday.  We were up and ready to go at 9am.  Our friends were coming over to pick up the table, chairs and total gym.  So we loaded both of our [...]
