Feeling Better

I had a great sleep last night.  I think I missed most of my Friday night radio program.  The alarms I set on the Boise still are not working but I really didn’t need one especially with the cats.

They have been fed and I have had my coffee and I have been chatting with AB on the text.  She is up early too for some reason.  She noticed I was quiet last week.  I explained that I saw they were really working hard and didn’t want to get them distracted.  I told her I kept busy during the week.

I managed to get online and found out a teacher from HS passed away yesterday.  The Obit isn’t online yet so I am not sure where she is-was from.  I sent a text to Dave because I think he had her for English during our HS careers. 

I did my early morning check in with Jim.  I probably will hear from him later this morning.  I am wondering how he did at the gym yesterday.  I know he took a walk around the park across the street from his condo.  He shared to fb.

Right now I am enjoying the 66 degree cool and sunny weather from my couch.  It will be in the 70’s for most of the day and by the afternoon strong weather (translate: rain-my hope is lots of it)

This morning I have class at 8:30 will need to get ready for that shortly and my hope is to use the In-body machine to see how I am doing.  Prayers for weight loss would be great.   I have my personal training session with Alex at lunch time.

My hope is to go grocery shopping in between those two activities because I am pretty sure I will not want to go out in the thunderstorm this afternoon.

Most likely the day will end with me watching TV and on the computer writing emails.  Updating files and then sleeping.

I blinked and it was gone

i can’t believe its Friday again.  This entire week flew by and I don’t know if I got a lot done or not.

I remember sometihng Mom told me many years ago that I can’t just exist in the world I have to be doing something.  I guess that’s why every other day I get to feeling guilty that all I did is sit and didn’t do much.

My plan to go to sleep early last night never saw the light of night.  I did try but I wanted to finish ysterday’s babble of an entry.

A part of me focused on committing to the gym.  That met with mixed results.  I knew I would fall back into the old ways.  Skip classes, eat things I wasn’t really supposed and make up for it some other way.  I did get some walking in as well.

i set the alarm for 4 this time so I would be getting up in time to feed the cats and leave for the 6 am class. I slept through the alarms but managed to get up and go and even the cats got fed.

I am thinking i did a lot of writing WHETHER IT was in the blogs, attempted pen paling, and some organizing. 

I also know I spent probably way too much time watching TV or sleeping. 

Since I had scheduled many of the bills that were due (at least that’s what I believe they are) this pay check I didn’t feel like I needed to review them.  LIE.  I still needed to check about the service agreement payment and see when I can do that.

I know I lost a number of nights worrying about that whole thing.  i still go back and forth with the setting up and identifying and organizing (the words are not coming to me right now)

i received some sad news this morning.   My friend Joan lost her 14 year old Companion Buddy (her organization Walks with Buddy was named for him) yesterday afternoon to cancer.  It was quick found it earlier this week.  I offered to come over today but she didn’t respond.  I have been crying since I found out.  A couple of others lost their furbabies as well this week.  i managed to send them all cards.  the kitties are not sure why i have been so clingy.  They are both sleeping now.

I called JOC this morning.  Her foot like I said is better but she isn’t willing to tempt fate but has the doctor appointment monday.  She definitely will be walking next week even with the rain.

I have checked in with the girls, Jim, and now Liz.  I am avoiding cooking the chicken but I also need to go grocery shopping today.

I still have the boxes to tie up and take to the transfer station with another bag of clothes.

I am thinking maybe work on the pen pal stuff for a little bit. 

i have my session with DEbra at 5;30 this evening.  I hope the zoom issues will be resolved.

The weather right now is beautiful and 81 degrees and the sun is playing hide and seek. we may get some rain at some point.  It’s supposed to stay with us for the next several days.  My lawn along with everyone else needs it and we can’t water it right now…brown water in the pipes.  For some of us.

 

 

Aw Nuts

I woke up this morning and got on Facebook and learned my Cousin in Vermont lost his thirteen year old fur baby Nicky.  I am not sure what breed it was but it got me to be thinking about my two.

I try to make sure that both Sky and Tiger are happy and healthy and taken care of. When I don’t see Tiger close by I go find her to make sure she isn’t getting into trouble and that she knows she is loved.  I guess you could say I smother her.  I will pet her and hold her all the while she tries to move away.  I tried to pick up her up a couple of times yesterday and wasn’t happy about it.  I just quietly say it’s okay and then when I get the feeling she is going to leap away I let her go.  She has been running from me when I go to pet her.  It’s a little disheartening to me.

I also pay attention to Sky…he is a little more receptive to my attention.  He was just lying above my head on the cushion but he took off for something to the back room to look out at the world.  Of course I held him and then he wanted to get down.

It gave me an opportunity to clean out the litterbox as one of them missed the target-again.  When I clean out the litterbox I don’t always wash it down.  It looks like I may have to.  This to me is an indication that someone is annoyed with me.

So, I went to the gym yesterday.  I had the two classes.  I did pretty well despite the fact I got hit with a 10 lb. med ball in the face (it was during the first class).  I yelled out loud scaring the hell out of A.  I can’t keep doing that.  He made me do squats instead of the many wall balls.  The second class was called a burn class. 

During the break between the classes and my session with Alex I managed to go to Goodwill and drop off a bag of clothes.  Then I went DD for breakfast.

When I got home I called the insurance agent to get the ball rolling on the request from the lawyer.  The agent understood what he wanted and called him to discuss upping coverage.  It’s to help with any rebuilding to bring house up to code.

My session with Alex went well.  We talked about the diet and class that morning.  I am re-energized to do better.  The one thing he did say to me was ask myself how this will help me to get better at my goals.  So that’s what I did when I had my lunch. 

I did manage to get some cards at the card shop.  One was a sympathy card for my colleague on the town committee and several Valentine’s cards.

The rest of the day I did some laundry and fell asleep for a while.  I didn’t make much dinner and tried to get to bed early.

 I didn’t go to sleep right away I filled out the cards and did some surfing.  I came back downstairs and turned the heat down and ended up watching TV and then falling asleep on the couch.  One of the cats fell asleep on my legs.  Not sure which one.

I fell back to sleep once I got back to the bed and woke up a few times during the night and finally got up-you guess it. 5:30.

We did our normal routine and I waited like Alex suggested for my coffee and had water first.  I shouldn’t be surprised he was right about the water helping to wake me up more than the coffee. 

I did register for two exercise classes but now I have to bail this morning.  I want to get things done before I go to my sisters. 

We did our morning routine with texts.  I want to get her stuff that she lent me for New Year’s back to her.  Two of the dresses need to be dry cleaned so I will do that on the way to her house but will have the shawl cleaned and ready. 

Well DO and I have dinner plans for tonight at 6.  The restaurant will be the Reel and Hook and they open at 12 so I will call them then.

I have some stuff to do so I better get to them….
