Hi everyone,
Every single day I started a post here only to get pulled away. It has been a hectic couple of weeks. More ugliness at the Senior Center. DH has been helping them and it's great because he has more technical expertise that is saving them money they don't have to spend. I finally hit the wall of tiredness at Bingo on Thursday and darn near fell asleep at the desk. I have been going to bed earlier and getting up a bit earlier. DH wanted to go take pictures today and roam around and I felt bad but sent him off on his own. I have SO MUCH TO DO here at home. If I can only get a few things done, I will be feeling better. Our TOPS group has dwindled down to 3 people and none of us are losing. We all vowed to put more effort into it this week. I HAVE to start exercising again too. I'm going to try and get to the pool tomorrow morning. Last night we went out for burgers with some friends. A place I'd never been to before. We sat outside - it was a great night and we enjoyed the food and company. We haven't gone out with others in a while. This coming Friday we are going to see a blues band we both very much like - me especially since DH is a diehard blues guy and I don't care for most of that music. I am doing my good to the community this week - Wednesday I am filling in for the receptionist then I got roped into working the evening special bingo at the Winery in the evening. LONG DAY for me but they are required to have a bingo supervisor there and my partner said NO WAY was he doing it so...
Then I have regular bingo on Thursday night and Saturday I am working a fundraiser for the Humane Society. I scored them a limoncello torte cake donation from our favorite Italian restaurant. I am a bit miffed at my mother - she totally played my sister and I for patsys. But I told Sis - my conscience is clear - whatever happens to her is a result of HER choice and she will have to deal with the consequences...
Annie - how was the concert? Rod and Cindi - sounds like a great duo. I hope you had lots of fun. Vacation will be here before you know it. Counting the days I'm sure. Bummer on yet another repair bill for the truck. Is C trying to sell his route? Then what, retire and live off you?
I'm glad you like your new brows. It's funny I was lamenting my thick brows and my stylist said they are "in" now and all the girls who plucked away are now wanting what you have so... yeah and the blue eyed girls want brown eyes and the brown eyed girls want blue eyes and the blonds want thick brunette hair - yada yada
What are you going to do on vacation? Lay on the beach? Sounds good to me.
Susie - I am glad you pushed back at the boss at work. There was just a piece on the news this week about bosses expecting their employees to monitor email 7 x 24 and how stressful that was to the slaves. Good going on you! And I'm glad you got back on the exercising again. I will follow your lead. That Lu Lularoe line of clothing is very popular with everyone. Some of the prints I saw were horrid though.
Laura - I prefer the DVDs to streaming - gives more flexibility but I think Gaiam and everyone else is doing streaming too. By now you must have enough to do an archive of them. It's good though because you do stick to them. That's funny that your toothbrush has bluetooth to track brushing habits.
big brother! Fitbit reminds you to move, toothbrush now yells at you too! Doesn't seem like you've done much bike riding other than commuting. Too hot or just not enough time?
Ceejay - thank you for looking for me.
I didn't mean a permanent goodbye - life is too busy lately. But then again, everyone is saying that... Is Miley all settled in at home now? I think you are VERY SMART to start working out in anticipation of your trip. It will build strength and stamina and you won't have to feel that you are holding anyone back. When is it again?
Dee - bummer that your husband decided to resign for you. It seemed like a fun job that you really enjoyed a lot.
And we all know that fun jobs are hard to come by. Hope you enjoy your vacation.
Shad - how did your son's surgery work out? Is he still packed in the nose you can't tell if it worked? I always feel like it's my throat relaxing too much and collapsing that causes the snoring so I've wondered why they work on the nose so much for that. It's funny that you are being sought out for all sorts of errands and such. My sister felt the same way when she was a stay at home Mom and people assumed she had nothing better to do than sit by the phone and wait for their call to help them out.
Gads, I can't believe I've been on the computer for 4 hours already. Smacks head... I did update a few Facebook pages for the Senior Center and take care of some emails. I still have data to enter and meeting minutes to type up. DH went out in search of flowers and I don't want him to come home and find me still in pjs at the computer right where he left me...
Hope you are enjoying your weekend...
