( Exercise first -- )

This has been a darned busy month! At the beginning we had Searle's Raid in St. Augustine, then the family trip to Orlando, and then back to work...but work's been full of school tours, educational outreaches, and LOTS of Volunteer Coordinator stuff -- primarily planning for the next two months, when we have events and days where we need all the ( Read more... )

Not a necessarily bad week, but a very tiring one all the same. My schedule has revolved around (1) going to work, (2) going to visit Dad at the hospital, (3) coming home from the hospital and cooking something, (4) getting my 1 mile walk in, and (5) collapsing into bed. I got your phone message, palmetto! And believe me, I understand about how the days ( Read more... )

It's been a beautiful week, weather-wise! This is my favorite time to work in the field that I do. It's also been very pleasant to do my walks in the evenings without feeling overly hot. I'm sleepy enough, but at least I'm comfortable ( Read more... )

The last week & a half have been utterly insane, in both good and bad ways. And for better or worse, it has been in ways that are changing everything that goes on, on the daily routine.

Today my computer (the only working computer in the house!) decided it was going to contract a nasty virus! So I'm paying my bills online from my parents' house -- I'm extremely put out about this, as one might guess ( Read more... )

I am pleased to say that I have continued to stay current with walking my mile each day since the "Extra Mile" challenge began, but today I really had to earn it -- I blithely decided that I would use the Mission San Luis nature trail as my mile hike locale. After all, the signs say it's a 3rd of a mile, and I can just walk it three times. But ( Read more... )

As mentioned in my last post, I'm home from the vacation, and boy is the post-holiday snooze hitting me hard. I'm all worn out! But at the same time, I've been accomplishing some things in spite of my weariness.

At work, frankcheez, spunkymelos and I have been painting and rearranging our Spanish House. We should have it all back into shape tomorrow by the end of the ( Read more... )

Peire & I have returned from our journeying, although tomorrow after work we will be doing the work of laundry, cleanup and exhaustion recovery instead of going to dance practice. I am about to go to bed myself, and I greatly look forward to being finally in my own bedroom instead of in another hotel ( Read more... )
