The neighborhood tag sale was today and I regret not getting stuff out and following through like I should have. I did manage to visit with the neighbors and ran into my niece Jess's family. We were chatting over at Neighbor Kim's.
I did get a chance to talk with Neighbor D'Arcy's parents today and shared the news with Them about the decision to put the house on the market. We talked about it and she totally understood.
As a result of my traveling barefoot around the neighborhood i have a huge bruise on the baby toe on my right foot. It probably didn't start to hurt me until I had sneakers on at the gym and when i came home. Tried to put the ice pak on it (useless).
Because the wifi didn't come back on by this morning I got distracted. I called the place a few times today and not until this afternoon did it get resolved by me unplugging the box and resetting it. Something that both Neighbor Chris recommended and one other person. So since it started again been trying to catch up.
This morning I ended up splitting my time watching TV and shredding papers from the last five years. It included more greeting cards, follow up medical reports, insurance bills for the car at that point. As I told Liz when I spoke with her this morning I can see the old bed. Still have more to do and that will have to be tomorrow.
I had totally forgotten the fact I was supposed to meet JoanS at fowler field to pick up my t-shirt for tomorrow's walk. I sent her an apology and asked if I could pick it up earlier this afternoon. She came to the house instead. I told her the events of the day (including the fact apparently everyone lost service in Optimum).
I just discovered an article posted last night explaining the issue. I have to agree their customer service sucked royally in the three or 4 times I called them but NO ONE had the Fucking Right to call 911 to complain. The Better Business Bureau would be a better place. How goddamned stupid is that?? That angers me because not having internet, or TV is not emergency, The landline would be an issue but most if not all have cell phones. Many people on Twitterverse asked for a credit. Or better yet a choice for cable provider. We have four. Dish, Frontier, DirectTV, and in some part Comcast
So I mentioned I talked with Sis this morning. We commiserate a little more regarding not having the internet and TV. From there we talked about other things including the death of her first love. His name was Cory I remember him. I also remember that my neighbor Beth had a huge crush on him (10 year age difference). I told Beth about it via IM while at the gym. Anyway it was a tumultuous time for our family at that time too.
Liz had to run some errands and I needed and wanted to get back to some more shredding until I decided to relax before heading to the gym.
Today was more of a strategy session for the challenge that starts in just about ten days. We also discussed this past week's lacking attendance to the gym. He wasn't pleased but he did say he will try to text me to get me motivated or remind me to get to the gym daily in the days ahead. Oh I managed to gain 7/10's of lbs. He would like to see me at 200 by the end of the challenge.
I told him I was trying really hard on the diet part but we agreed that exercise is part of it. So I spent nearly an hour trying to get my steps up to 8000. I didn;t reach that goal until I was home. I did talk to him while he was working out as well. I have already scheduled classes for Monday and Tuesday mid mornings. Of course the regular class at night Monday.
In the late afternoon I cooked a small pork roast. I seasoned it, and cooked it for 40 minutes. An hour after I finished the entire pork roast. It was that good. You can see the dilemma right?
I have also had the string cheese, yogurt, and fruit. Lots of coffee (and I am surprised I am sleepy because of it). The kitchen is still a bit of a mess but I need to hit the sack. I will clean it when I get home tomorrow.
The kitties are settled in for the night. They spent most of the day under the bed in the spare room and came down around 3 (well Tige did) Sky came down closer to dinner time. I fed them and they went their separate ways again. Sky is at my elbow sleeping. Tige is in the spare room or the old bedroom.
I need to get to sleep.
