No exercise today. I ate pretty good. But if you didn’t guess, I love my job. I love the challenge of having a huge stack of bills on my desk and things to do and when I am done for the day my desk is cleared off. And not just all stuffed in a drawer. Well, some of it is, but it can wait till the next time I go in. I am going on vacation this week and don’t have to worry to much about stuff going on at work. Check the phones a couple times and mail bills on certain dates. Take something to the bank on another day. Another one of the days I am meeting with someone for the company and getting paid. So on vacation and getting paid for what I do. To me that is good.
Breakfast this morning was toast, lunch was yogurt, dinner was taco del mar. I guess that wasn’t good. Snack tonight was cherries. Might have some fat free ice cream too. I need to drink some water still tonight.
My goal for Friday and Saturday is to do some major mileage. We find out our start time on Saturday. I am praying for a 7:30-8am start time. That way I can get a full nights sleep before the race. The one thing I could change about this race is our vehicle. We have to use a Ford Excursion. Which isn’t so bad. But it seats 9. Tight. There are 8 of us on the team. But one of use is out on the course walking at all times. Plus all the luggage, coolers, water bottles, blankets. Last year we used a 12 passenger van and it was perfect. Always space on the last row of seats for someone to lay down and rest. We go the whole time. No time for breaks. Unlike 80% of the other teams which use 2 vans and get a six hour break. My daughter is going to pick me up at the end. Last year she came down and met me and it was really cool having her there. Then she can drive me home and I don’t have to ride back in the Excursion.
My son turns 15 on Monday. But we celebrated today, or I should say, he opened his presents today. He didn’t want to open them all in front of his cousins. Maybe we will tie balloons to his pool chair. He is leaving early to go down to Bend with his grandma. He is helping her load her car, and unload when they get there. It will be a hard week for my kids. This is the first vacation at the family home with out grandpa. My daughter doesn’t want to go. But she needs to go. I don’t want to go, but I have different reasons. 13 in-laws, 6 of them under the age of 20, 8 dogs(yes, you read that right) 8 DOGS!! In one house. Thankfully, my dh and I stay in the second house. No dogs. 3 great girls(one of them is mine) and locks on the doors. :) The other house does not have locks on the doors. Lots of walks and lots of mojitos are in my future.
