Last Saturday, my butt was dragging at work.  This week, I had Friday off, and it made a huge difference in how I felt today, despite still having to report to work at 7 AM.  Bam!  Synapses were firing.  I got a good groove established, doing my work, and I was actually a bit ahead of the game, notwithstanding the interruptions and extra work ( Read more... )

I'm almost finished cleaning the grout in the bathroom.  Just a little bit to do, around the vanity in there, and it's by no means as disgusting as the rest of it was ( Read more... )

A lot of people are complaining about the rain.  The darn weeds are getting ahead of me in some areas.  That's probably my biggest beef ( Read more... )

I'm taking a break from working in the front yard.  It's been two hours now, and my max is about five, but I don't want to go that far.  Firstly, it's my first day out there this season.  Secondly, I want to be able to function enough to prepare dinner, and then have enough energy to watch Reds with Ray, Emily, and Cameron who is expected over ( Read more... )

I went to Wegmans today, on the way to the gym, to turn in our empty pop and beer bottles.  While getting some more pop, I ran into one of my favorite customers.  She's an anesthetist and I knew that she slipped and fell on black ice some two months ago, hurting her shoulder (rotator cuff, maybe?).  We've talked several times, and today I asked her ( Read more... )

As usual, I was the only woman in the free-weight area at the gym today.  There had to be at least twenty men there, so many in fact that there were no more stand-alone benches available.  I had to set up camp at one of the benches built into a barbell-lifting station, but no one seemed to mind, which was great ( Read more... )

I just saw the first robin of the season!  W00t W00t!  I've been hearing them for a while, but this is the first sighting ( Read more... )

I'm on the home stretch of this section of the shawl I'm working on.  Eighteen rows to go, which is not much.  Less than three inches in length.  So I think I'll watch a movie on my laptop this afternoon, and see if I can finish it.  Would be cool ( Read more... )

I kinda sorta worked out today, for the first time in oh, forever.  It may have been only a few weeks, but that's what it felt like.  All I did was cardio.  Thirty minutes of it.  Then I went to work at the store.  By break time, three hours later, I really, really felt it.   I wasn't surprised when, as I washed my hands in the ladies' room, I ( Read more... )
