not raining!
It was supposed to rain today, but it was gorgeous and sunny today. Nice and cool now, to cool off the house. yay!
the best thing about world cup is I get to use the computer at night....
Nothing too exciting today, went for the annual blood tests and I don't know why but for some reason the dr. didn't order the usual EKG and the usual one where you fast, then give blood, then go eat and wait two hours and then give more blood. So I wonder if she forgot? as I have had those other ones for about four years in a row now. Now that I am 45 you would think they would be more important? Maybe I am doing well and she didn't think I needed them this time? Dunno, guess we will see what happens next year. Sometimes I think I am really healthy and sometimes I think I must be a walking ad for potential diabetes/heart disease. Sometimes I think we worry too much and other times not enough (about our health) I have to admit it takes up a lot of my thinking time, choosing what to eat and when to exercise and so on. In May I was exercising a lot, going to acquasizes anywhere from one to three times a week, fitting it in during my lunch hour, which I never thought I could do. Now my programs are over, I could be more flexible with my lunchhour a bit, but the pool is closed for maintenance and I have been so busy lately I have not had time to catch up the slack with the elliptical machine, which I was doing twice a week before. This week I have only been once I think and that is it for exercise. A bit of walking but not enough. I have even managed to miss my old lady chair dancing exercises this week due to my work schedule.
Sigh. This a.m. I was so virtuous, ignored all the junk food in the grocery store. Then after work, you know you are so tired, etc. Bought two choc bars in the gas station before coming home, ate half a little bag of M and M's. I have been trying not to eat in the car ever since my friend told me about a friend who nearly choked on a chicken finger while driving. Plus the husband does not allow eating in the cars since we got new ones. I don't know how we would have survived that when the kids were little with all the trips we made. Imagine not having cheerios in the seats...! I do like not having the mess,and I am a bit worried about the choking thing, cannot see myself giving myself the heimlich on the steering wheel, for one thing I am so short the steering wheel is too high to do that anyway, even if I did have the presence of mind to do it.
Anyway I suppose that is my rant for the day. What am I thankful for today? Electric sanders! (having spent half hour sanding little wooden blocks for work, spent an hour doing it on tuesday too--was too cheap to buy the predone blocks in Michaels, didn't want to pay a hundred bucks for them, but how long in salary dollars did it take to buy the wood, have B cut it up and then sand it? Sigh, sometimes really cool crafts are not nearly as cool as you think. Wish me luck tommorrow!
I am also thankful to not have a stomach-ache like I did last night. And for yummy hamburgers( supper, when we finally got our act together,,,everyone was too tired from work to cook....)I am thankful for the time that my husband and son are spending together, even if I do have to listen to soccer. Actually I don't mind soccer, beats football.
Tommorrow is another long day, a meeting in the a.m., the usual work in the afternoon. Sometime I will have to plant the bedding plants I bought today...not sure when. Poor things, I am a bad gardener.
But I am thankful for little pansy faces and colorful petunias and lovely tomatoes.
