go go go!

It has been a fast paced day. I'm glad that I slept until 9 this morning.

I took the dogs for a 45 minute walk. I then hopped on my scooter and scootled my way to the Rec Center. I pounded out a 2 miler on the track. I scooted back home and baked a cake. K made a vegetarian casserole.

We then went to the aunt and uncle's to visit family that came into town. We stayed long enough that K helped with cleaning off the deck around the pool and I got a grilled cheese sammich made for me.

I dropped K off at home so he could shower and I took necessary goods to my friend's house where his father's wake will be.

I high tailed it back home and frosted my cake and have changed my clothes and now have a bit of time where I chose to blog.

We are leaving now for the wake.

laying track

The other day I tried to run one mile after having not run in over three weeks. What a pathetic try that was with me feeling like a water balloon filled with lead. *jiggle, thud, jiggle, thud*

I was red faced and panting like a dog. I can only imagine sometimes the types of pained looks that appear involuntarily on my face. I am so not that hot chick at the gym.

Well, I have no clue why I thought I would or could run three miles today. Well, let me take that back. As I was walking to the gym I thought, "Enh, I'm going to watch t.v. on the elliptical trainer and weight train. When I got to the gym I was already bored with the idea of the elliptical. I decided I would try for a two mile run on the track at a really slow pace. As I finished two miles I found myself still jogging and kept going until I reached three miles.

Even though it took me like 35-36 minutes to finish those three miles I still feel like a stud. I now feel exonerated from my earlier pathetic efforts. Yay me!

Farewell

I found out tonight from G that Dr. David Howard had passed away on Monday. My heart is heavy.

He will be greatly missed by many in the Nacogdoches and SFA community. I'm lucky to have known him.

Goodbye, Dr. Howard.

my wordle

Is it really already Monday?

I had another nice weekend that I did not want to relinquish.

I was productive:

-took the extra time to pull out three sprinklers and water the perimeter of the yard
-weeded the flowers beds and pruned the bushes
-poop scooped where the dogs regularly do their business
-vacuumed the house and straightened up some rooms that needed it

I was creative:

-started a new embroidery project that I'm happy with and hope to finish soon

I was active:

-on saturday i took the dogs for an hour walk early in the morning and i did yard work in the early evening
-on sunday i played racquetball with F and we exercised a little in the pool afterwards and soaked up some sun

I was entertained:

-we went to lufkin on saturday to watch "the dark knight."

I was visited by a friend:

-j came by the house after work on friday and she ended up going out to eat chinese with us. it's been a long time since we've hung out and it was nice.
