Today was a good day but then after work I went and picked up the plate to be engraved for the cross. Got to the engravers and was writing down what to put on it and I just froze and had tears in my eyes as I am writing the date. Still doesnt seem real. I dropped it off and just cried.
It will be beautiful. They ordered 2 brass plates and welted them together. Their is some imperfections, very minimal but with the engraving on it it will be beautiful. It is 21 inches each way. Up and down will have a praying hands at the top and then his name. On each side will be the dates. It should all be ready by Monday and then I can take it back to the welders and have them rivet the plate to the cross.
I can't believe it will be a year a week from Friday. Damn the time has flown.
Just crazy!
Well getting ready for bed. Got all my bills paid. I am getting a pedicure right after work tomorrow with dido. I have a gift card from her and I am buying her one for her birthday. My feet will look good again!

Break
Whew had to take a break. Got the vanity cleaned out. Was able to pack up bathroom stuff, ect. in plastic containers that go under the vanity and are very neat looking. There is a place for towels so I can take the dark wooden shelve out of there, more room. Emphasize storage. Strong selling point. Either use it some where else or put it in storage. Have a couple of boxes to put in storage. I also went thru the medicine cabinet and either threw away, packed some of it in the plastic containers, and organized. Looks 100% better.
So the bathroom is coming along. Cleaning also as I go along. It will feel so good to have my vanity and bathroom cleaned and organized.
I am getting excited about my progress. Its going to happen. JJ signed his lease until Oct 1st. So hopefully if all goes according to plan we will be getting a place together shortly after that. Keeping all my fingers and toes crossed and saying lots of prayers!
All right, back to work. Have 2 to 2 1/2 hours to finish the bathroom before jumping in the shower and going down town. Oh also the plate might be ready for me to take to the engravers. And the cross might be ready to be sent for the powder coating. Its all going according to plan.

Off
I have the last day of my 3 day weekend. I will tell you I needed this so much. Not having to wake up early. Enjoying my morning. I had the hardest time getting to sleep and staying awake. Hormones I am sure. Damn whoremones. lol. At one point my dog sam gets on the bed and I hear this wierd noise from him and turned on the light and he puked on my bed. Needless to say I popped up to clean it up. Gross. At the same time I looked at Sam and thought poor baby, I hate throwing up. Yuck. So anyways he is fine and in the dog house, so to speak.
The cook out and game were alot of fun. We lost and got an automatic out when Dido had to go in on call. They wouldnt let the team change out players. We had alot of good food and fun. I work with some awesome people and will miss them greatly. I am going to be so torn when I leave. Feelings of happiness and feelings of sadness. Crazy how a new beginning in your life can cause that.
I did come home and watch last week's episode of True Blood. Love Love Love that show. I saved this weeks for tonight. I am savoring it!!! lol.
Today I am going to tackle my room and bathroom. I didnt get as much done, tired and my back was killing me so I just did what I had to. I will start with the vanity. Already have a box started that will go to the storage unit on my way to town this afternoon. Need to clean my bathroom. Gross big time. And then on to my room. Lots of clothes to go thru. Pack away, put away, and donate. Love that!
Having Mojito Monday with the girls today. It might only be me, Dido, and Elley but thats fine with me. It will be a nice break from the work today!
Well off to start my chicken killing as they say in west Texas!

movies
I finished watching Benjamin Buttons. Okay I know totally unrealistic but at the same time I have always thought that why cant we born old and go back wards. So in watching this movie I realized it just cant be that way. It was a sad movie. He had a daughter who he couldnt be a part of her life because he looked the same age as her. I can tell I am tired and I am pms'ing and it just made me cry. I just started thinking about my own life and how my life has played out and how it will play out once I am done with living in Flagstaff. I am really hoping for a happy ending. I deserve a happy ending as due all of us. hmmmmmmm. So there are my thoughts of the day. I took it easy this morning. Now I am ready to get back on track.
Yesterday was an accomplishing day. My friends came over and work on my yard. Car and her daughter on my riding lawn mower and theirs mowed down my property and most of the weeds. I have actual ground cover in the back yard for the 1st time since I moved in here. Once they finish up the yard for me next weekend It will actually look good. It wont be a back yard of dirt. I can plant some bushes to replace the ones that died with something else. That helped so much. Saved my eyes from allergies. I will not have bad looking eyes this year. Thank god. I get the worse case and I look terrible. I also started working on my vanity and clearing out cabinets and drawers. I started on laundry.
So all in all it was a good day.
Today I am making my deviled eggs for the cook out with my co workers. I boiled 2 dozen eggs. I am also going to work on the rest of the vanity and clear off the walls and pack what ever is left and take to the storage unit. After clearing out the boxes and some of the stuff I have had waiting to go the storage unit made space in my house. I really am going to try to pack a box a day or every other day if possible. Well back to work and enjoying some down time later.

Another week has gone by
I cant believe another week has gone by since I posted last. The weekend was alot of fun. The going away party was great. Red was so surprized. I was glad he was so excited to have me there. JJ had a good time also. Crazy bikers I will tell you.
Our time together was good.
JJ was in town on Wed for work and he stayed. So we went to the place there are making the cross. He was very pleased. We got to go to our favorite place, buffalo wild wings and hang out. A few of his friends he use to work with showed up and we had a good time. Stayed with him at the hotel that his job put him up at which was the Motel 6. I swear why do they have to smell like cigarette smoke. Nasty. He had to get up at 3:30 that morning so I got up with him and came home. Went back to bed.
What a week for the celebrities. 1st Ed Mcmanon, Farrah Fawcett, and then Michael Jackson all dieing. Okay Ed he was getting old so I guess it was his time. 2nd Farrah, I watch the documentary she had done on herself to show the fight against cancer she put up. Absolutely incredible. She was so corragious, positive, and a fighter. I felt bad for her and Ryan Oneal. Here is his love story in real life. Made me cry. I watched it last nite. 3rd Michael Jackson. HMMMMMMMMMMM. I am so sad because he and Farrah were such icons from the 70's for me. I loved him in the Jackson 5 and then dancing to him in the late 70's at the disco's. What a career in the 80's. But then I am torn because of the last several years and the court shit over molesting children. Did he do it, did he not, Did money cover it up. So there it is. I am so torn. He died so suddenly. That would like me dying right now in my life. OMG. I dont feel that old to feel like I need to die right now. So much more time ahead for sure. Regardless of all this, he made such a hugh impact on music and for all the people out there that came after him. So much great music. And then his children what will happen to them. Craziness.
Well today I am working on the house. Got a bunch of stuff over to the storage unit. I am going to work on the house. My friend Car will come over and mow for me. I am going to pay her. She is saving my allergies. If she gets most of it then I will only have a little to do as far as pulling weeds.
I am truely happy its the weekend. I dont go back to work til tues. So I have time to work on my house. Yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am also going to cook out on my grill tonight. Its been awhile.
Tomorrow is my coworkers softball and we are having a cookout prior to. So everyone is bringing something to go with burgers and hot dogs. Should be fun! I am making devil eggs. YUMMMMMY.
Well hope all is well with everyone!

The week!
Fast week for sure. I am so happy its Friday and I get to be with my honey this weekend. We are going to a going away party for a friend Red. He is moving to florida. JJ and I are going. Some of my other friends will be there. Party time. Most of the people there are bikers and most of the chicks have there own harleys. Very kool! Something to look forward to.
This week has been hard. I went down to phoenix on Tuesday to be there for JJ when he has his wisdom teeth pulled. I figured he was having anesthesia fo some kind. No they did local and didnt numb it very well. This place was aweful. I would never be treated there my self. The oral surgeon, hence the word, Surgeon. HMMMMMMMMMM. I could hear JJ yelling in the waiting room. Terrible. I drove him there and took him to get his scripts, heat him up some chicken noodle soup and just be there for him. He was so appreciative. He must have thanked me 5 to 10 times. He was so appreciative. Made me feel good. He woke up in the middle of the night and so I was up and if he laid on his back and snored I woke him gently to turn on his side. Afraid the gauge would fall in the back of his throat and he would stop breathing. So when I woke up the next morning I was so tired, needless to say.
I get to work and my 1st patient is a 23 year old with a 14 month old baby and has been diagnosed with maglinant ca. Talk about breaking you heart. I was in shock. The doctor told her at the bedside with me there. This is defiately the part of nursing that absolutely sucks the most. Then she falls back to sleep and she wakes up and has me tell her what the doc said. So I had to tell her. I was holding it together until the husband came in and he was balling. It was absolutely horrible. I lost it. I just started balling because this just fucking sucks. Absolutely so sad. She just wanted to go home. I got her ready and sent her home. Well I couldnt shake this all day. I got off work and just cried. Got take out chinese, discovered a new chinese resturant, not new but to me it is, and got a card for my dad and went home and had a beer and ate my chinese food and just vegitated. Aparently she will have to come back for more surgery. I just hope and pray somehow there is a good prognosis for her.
And now today I went to a welding place to help JJ order a cross for Jr. The funeral home here recommended them. So I went and they were awesome. They gave me 3 different sizes of steel with a cool edge to it. And a booklet with the different powder finishes so I could take it to him this weekend and we can get this ordered by Monday am. So needless to say a sad thing. Cant believe its almost a year and we are having to do this. Sucks also.
I am ready for the weekend and ready to have a good time! So I hope everyone has a good weekend.
Congrats Jess on your wedding this weekend!

Good Times
Had a good time yesterday. Today is Dido's birthday. Celebrated it yesterday. It just turned out to be Dido and myself and so we went to a couple of places. We started at the Pita Jungle. Very modern, not a place that you would see in Flagstaff. We looked around and guess where people were from. We decided Sedona and Scottsdale and tourists. We try several type dipps together with pita bread. Had my favorite beer, Alaskan Amber. We then moved on to Uptown Billiards. Had a couple of aqua shots. Its a type of liquer that gives you energy. Just enjoyed our time together. It was so fun. We laughed alot.
Got home afterwards and just got on the couch and watched tv. Woke up at 1130 and went on to bed. I, unfortuately, did not turn off my alarm and it went off at 4:40am and then for some reason I put on my calendar that I was working at 6am, which I am not, went off at 545am. So it was alittle hard getting movitated today to want to get out of bed. I couldnt go back to sleep. Force myself to stay in bed.
I did start cleaning up my kitchen and cooked breakfast.
So now I have a list of several things that would make me feel better if I got done and also started.
1) Clear off the kitchen counter and clean the floor.
2) Vacumn
3) Pack up the rest of the guess bedroom.
4) Start painting this room.
5) Take boxes to the storage unit.
6) Work out
7) charge the battery to the riding law mower today to either mow later if the wind dies down alittle or tomorrow.
8) Take the stuff in the garage and donate it to savers. The guy at work blew me off and didnt come and get it which pissed me off. After he is the one that asked for what ever I had left over. Jerk. So I am going to get it out of there so I can park in my garage again.
Of course there is more but I am trying to be realistic about what I am going to get done. It sounds like alot but it is not. I can do some of this as I go to do something else. On my way to going to work out, drive by the place and drop the donation stuff off. Go get dog food and head home. Then load up the xterra with boxes for the storage unit and I will probably have to take 2 trips. Takes alittle time but productive use of my time.
I am defiately taking advantage of this time I have to just get stuff done. Use my time wisely as they say. I really do have a goal that doesnt have a time set when it will be done. By not feeling that pressure of a date I am more motivated to get this done.
JJ got to get Sammy early yesterday so they are doing the father and daughter thing. This way he is free next weekend for us time. We are going to a party for a friend, Red, who is moving to Florida. There will be other friends there as well. We are going to look at sleeping in his van and not drive after. Need to find a battery operated fan to use while we are sleeping to keep the air cooler. I dont have to be back at work till that Tuesday so we can have a long weekend together. Fun in the sun!!!
Well time to get moving in the right direction! Hope everyone is well.

Woohoo Its Friday!
I am so happy its Friday and I am not on call and not driving anywhere. I did get to go to Showlow, a town 2 hours east of here, to be w/ JJ Wednesday nite. He ended up getting put up for a nite in a decent hotel and so we got to have our time together which was nice. It was so relaxing and our intimate time was awesome. It break up this long break of several weeks.
I came back to town yesterday morning and worked all day. I was so tired and went home and didnt get anything done.
This will be by weekend to get some stuff done. Today I am meeting w/ Dido and ellie for a happy birthday celebration for dido. Got her a cake and hopefully some balloons. Going to this new place called the pita jungle. Once I get home tonight, the only reason I am leaving my house is to go work out and go to the storage unit. I do have plans to go out to breakfast w/ my friend cary who watches the dogs for me. And I am also invited to a jewelry party on Sunday. We will see on that, depends on what I get done. We shall see. I need to mow and start painting the guess bedroom. That will probably take the whole week but thats okay.
Well back to the grind of work!

Finsihed it
OMG I did it, went thru the whole file cabinet, threw away, shredded all the papers. It took all evening but I did it. I got it all out in the trash and the trash can to the street to be picked up today. I felt so accomplished getting that done last nite. I feel like I can move on with this road.
I am off today. I got to sleep in, thank god, because JJ was on his way to the eastern portion of AZ, I woke up and talked on the phone with him for an hour and then went back to sleep til the am. We were hoping he was staying inbetween here and there tonight so we could meet for a little one on one time but it doesnt look like its going to happen.
I have a staff meeting to go to at 1:30 today. Water aerobics are at noon so I am going to do that and then go to the meeting in my boss's office. Get an extra hour in. I will have a good check this next time.
I guess I am going to look at clearing out the rest of the bookcase and floor. I really want to look at painting this weekend. Get this room finished. I also need to take stuff to the storage unit that I have already packed up. I feel good right now. I cant tell you what a major accomplishment this was. It really is going to help me move forward. That is huge!

moving on
Its been a good day. Work was good. Got in a workout on the eliptical level 2 at 20 mins, hr went up to 134. Happy. Walked 1/2 mile also for a total of 1 and 1/2 miles. Happy with that.
Came home ate early dinner and enjoying a beer. Started on the 2nd drawer and almost done. I am off tomorrow so I am thinking I am just going to go thru the other 2 and get this finished. I am thinking if I get thru this I might be able to paint this room this weekend. That would be awesome if I were able to. We shall see.
So wish me luck.

Past!
Its amazing how the past can affect you. I started with drawer #1 of the file cabinet. OMG lots of old bills, divorce papers, investments, US Navy papers and papers to the house from past my present. I just looked at that stuff and thought wow, this is so crazy how my life has changed but my past is what makes me the person I am today. No doubt.
So in going thru all this I have a box started of keeping certain papers that are important. I did put all the papers to the house in a drawer for now until this house is sold. But now I also have a huge pile to shred again. Anything with my name I shred. Anything with the ex's in the trash except I did come across something from Social Security that you receive each year of your earnings over your life time. I put it in the damn shred pile just because I dont want Karma biting me in the butt.
So that was my one accomplishment of the day. I was so tired today from call last nite. It kicked my butt. I had a demented lady and she was a handfull. She was in her 80's and it took several of us to take care of her when she woke up for several hours. There were times it broke my heart and others I didnt know what else to do for her. Thank god for my coworkers and the anesthesiologist on call with us that day. He is absolutely marvelous. He stayed until she was taken care of, 3 hours later. It makes the hugest difference who your doc is when you are on call if you will be on your own or have help. I was so worn out. I earned every penny I made yesterday. Work was busy, made the time go by and I even stayed alittle late. I should hopefully get a good paycheck this next time.
I went today to this new resturant they just opened in a new area they are building. It will be a nice shopping center. But they had salads, pitas, wraps, and pizza. Very modern, playing jazz and had my favorite beer, Alaskan Amber. Picked up a gift card for a couple from work who watch the dogs for me. Got me a grilled chicken pita and it was very good. Yummy in fact. Will have to try them again!
Okay time to go look for workout clothes for tomorrow after work! Ready to step it up a level on the elitical. Cant spell. Oh well!
Hope all is well with everyone else!
So in going thru all this I have a box started of keeping certain papers that are important. I did put all the papers to the house in a drawer for now until this house is sold. But now I also have a huge pile to shred again. Anything with my name I shred. Anything with the ex's in the trash except I did come across something from Social Security that you receive each year of your earnings over your life time. I put it in the damn shred pile just because I dont want Karma biting me in the butt.
So that was my one accomplishment of the day. I was so tired today from call last nite. It kicked my butt. I had a demented lady and she was a handfull. She was in her 80's and it took several of us to take care of her when she woke up for several hours. There were times it broke my heart and others I didnt know what else to do for her. Thank god for my coworkers and the anesthesiologist on call with us that day. He is absolutely marvelous. He stayed until she was taken care of, 3 hours later.

A waste of a weekend
Okay so this weekend has been a waste. I have got nothing done at the house. I did go to Dido's and help her get ready for the graduation party. Went well. I did have to go to work at 5:15 and I didnt leave until 10pm. I am then going in at 4:30 and staying til its over.
I did get to see JJ for 15 mins at the gas station near my house on his way thru. That was nice. But my sleep sucked prior to so I have been very tired today. Did lay down and rest for over an hour. Felt good.
Made me some dinner, a frozen dinner, and so now I am on the computer. Not for long though. Will need to start gettting ready for work.
The wind has been blowing hard still and its been cold. I need to find the time to mow, hopefully the wind will die down so I can do it.
Well off to finish watching a movie and then get dressed for work. Just telling myself I need the money and if I am not at work to late like the middle of the night then I can go in at 6 and this time wasn't a waste. We dont get to take pto if we have worked call. Oh well, it all comes out in the wash!
Basketball at 5pm. Lakers vs Magic. I do think Lakers will win!

The weekend
My 48 hours of call started at 7am this morning. Luckily today I am on back up call so I will be the absolute last person they call. Now it could happen later this afternoon as the schedule people leave and its down to one person and we are super busy. Time will tell. Oh well we shall see.
I got up this morning. I called the guy back who wants to buy my telescope. I went on line and printed up the instruction manual. Isn't the internet wonderful! So now I just have to dust it off and pack it up, $100.00 in my pocket, and out of my house.
The wind is still freakin blowing so no mowing today. So instead I am going to work on my guess bedroom some more. I am going over to Dido's house to help set up for the graduation party for her daughter Mol. At lease if I get called in I will be right there by the hospital.
JJ made it to colorado springs this morning but his flight doesnt leave until 1:45. He has to fly into denver and then albuquerque. Pick up his old concrete pump and drive this way. Maybe get on the road by 5 or 6 tonight. It is a 5 to 6 hour drive to Flag from there. He will gain an hour. Depending on how tired he is will depend if he drives here tonight and stays or gets a room before here. He will see when that time happens. He was hoping to get back early enough so maybe he could drive straight to phoenix and get sammy. We will see what happens by tonight. I hope he can drive here. We wont have much time together because he will get up early and leave but it would be nice to sleep with him for a few hours.
I did go work out yesterday. Did the elitical for 20 mins. I think its time to increase to the next level at 20mins. I get bored with it after 20mins so I decided 20 is perfect, just go up in intensity. I also went and did some walking against the current in the lazy river for about 10 mins or so. They closed the jacuzzi due to the chemicals being off. Oh well. If I dont get called in I will go work out in the am. I did bad this pass week on the biggest loser. Gained 3.2lbs but due to the menstrual thing I wasnt effected by it mentally. I know next week I will lose. I am back on track.
I hope everyone has a nice weekend.

my one thing
Okay I did my one thing for the day and that was go thru all my cd's and box them but its funny how I have some covers and cd's that dont match. So I am still searching around the house for the rest.
Work was a good day. Got off alittle early and got to hang with Dido and have wings and beer at Granny's closet. They are not the best wings but for $.25 wings and happy hour on drafts there you go. We talked about her daughter graduating and the party on Sat. I am on back up and hopefully I dont get called in so I can go over there early and help her and enjoy some of it.
But I had a moment listening to her and it made me realize that if all would have gone according to plan he would have been in her graduating class. I started crying and got myself back together but it was a hard moment because I hadnt thought about it until we were sitting there. Dido said its so crazy to think he will never be known as old and he had so much potential. We then went back to talking about the party for Mols.
Shekei went to take her driver's permit and she failed but she wasnt upset. JJ got to take her. She is going back on Friday and I am sure she will do fine then. She is leaving for a month to go to her grandpa's house, her mom's dad. So if she has her permit then he can start teaching her how to drive so it will be less stressful on the parents. After having so many friends who have gone thru this I think this is a good thing.
Oh and I sold my telescope that my ex gave me for $100.00. This guy came by the day of the garage sale and he said he would be back. Well he came by the other nite around 9pm and it freaked me out to say the lease. I wouldnt open the door and I told him I wouldnt sell it for $50.00. So he will call me a couple of days to set up a time and he will buy it in the next week. Woohoo!!!!
So like I said my one thing a day depending on the day and my hours at work,etc. At lease I am making progress in this bedroom. I am getting pass my nemesis in this room. Next will be the file cabinet, depending on whats in each drawer, might be 1 drawer at a time. There are 4. It will take a lot of time. More shredding and throwing away. And then the file cabinet goes to the storage unit and out of the closet. Open up the closet. Woohoo! Progress, you have to love it.

good day
Well Water aerobics was a good workout. There were only a couple older ladies and then the rest were younger and I was tired after wards. I got a good workout. I was talking to this one older lady that was 72 and she is just up here for the summer. Turns out her name is the same as mine except for the spelling. She was very pleasant. Walked some more and used the jacuzzi and then went on to the grocery store. I just love that place and plan on going after work tomorrow and seeing how long I can do the elitical. I was up to 20 mins. We will see.
After lunch and dinner combined. I didnt eat breakfast so I pigged out but then I didnt eat dinner. Ater all 3 meals in one. I couldnt get my fill but finally did and drank water the rest of the night. After a short nap I came in the other guest bedroom, the one that is my nemisis, as I put it, and started shredding the papers. It felt so good to clear the floor. I am finally back in motion on the house again. Got some laundry done. And so all in all a good day off. I didnt do much but that s okay I am easing back into it.
I dont have to get up til 6am, which I love. I dont have to wake up early the next 5 days. All my days I go in later then 6am so I am not getting up at the ungodly time of 4:30am. Woohoo.
Well off to get ready for bed and get some sleep so I can have another productive day and get at lease one thing or one box packed. One day at a time and one thing at a time!

Back to Reality
I am home and back to reality. Reality sucks sometimes. Well the weekend turned out to be awesome. I did go to the court house for JJ. I came eye to eye with Hamiltom and his sister. It was extremely earie in some respects to look in this guy's eyes and to think that he did what he did. Son of a bitch. And also to think he is walking the streets. My heart was just pounding. This was totally different then the last time I went to court. The only people there were Hamilton, his siter, and his attorney, myself, the girls from victim witness, and the DA. They asked for a continuation to August 25th. They are then going to set a trial date. It last a whole 10 minutes if that.
Which brought us to a discussion on when I would put my house on the market and moving. I have decided to take the pressure off of me and not worry about when it goes on the market. I would like this whole thing with court to be behind us when I move there. So hoping that they set a date for the fall sometime and then we would have a place to stay and so move there in the early winter, december or Jan. It would be easier on the pups and the temps of phoenix so there body is not shocked by the hot temps when they are use to cooler climate. So now I have no pressure on me and I am thinking by August I could get it on the market, have everything done I need to be done with. And if I have to get a travel job in Phoenix in Jan. So there you go. This way we still have a place to stay while the trial is going on.
Left there and ended up meeting JJ in Phoenix instead of Showlow because as soon as he drove 4 hours and got there, they cancelled the job. So he drove all the way back. The only good thing was he got paid for all that driving. He got to his place around 7:30 so we had time to go out. Took him out to a mexican resturant that we decided to try. The thing about phoenix is you could go to a different resturant every day for a year and not hit the same one. Amazing how many places there are and even just close to where he lives. It was very authentic and we got serenaded by a mexican band and they sang Happy Birthday to him. We then went to our dive place and just sat at the bar and talked and talked and went home and cap off the night with great intimacy. He had to get up early for work the next morning, not as early as usual, 7:30. I got to sleep in, it felt great.
Once he got home we did some running around and went to one of our favorite sandwich places. We watched the game and he was so happy that Orlando won so his team the lakers got home court advantage but I really wanted to see the cavaliers win so I could see the 2 play against each other. Oh well. It should still be a good series for sure.
Once the game was over we went back to our dive bar and I got to shoot pool with my new pool stick. I did much better then usual. Mind you I still suck at pool. With more practice I could get better. JJ is a good pool player. He says he doesnt know english which I dont know what that means but all the same we had a very enjoyable nite. No drama there what so ever. There were a bunch of young people who I think some were from Texas and they were having a great time. We got home and crashed big time.
It was so nice to wake up on Sat and know there was still a couple more days left. We got up and took the girls out for breakfast and a movie. Night at the museum, cute and funny. They enjoyed. We decided to get some food to cook on the grill and rent a movie and just hang out at his apartment. It was so nice. We did the same thing on Sunday. Did some pool time both days and the water temp felt great. I was sad when Sunday nite was coming to an end.
But now I am home and one of the girls wanted to trade days off so she could have a day off with her husband. So I am home today instead of tomorrow. I am going to do water aerobics at 11:00. Get moving and back on track. Okay its with the seniors. Here I go. Work on a couple things here at the house and enjoy the evening.
