Tuesday and things are moving...
Jun. 14th, 2011 08:05 amWhen last I posted it was friday. Wow, what an annoying day...but there was some good. I had a meeting that they didn't pay us for so I had to make up time which sucked but when I got to the gym things were very cleared out and I started with my new workout regime and did the first workout. I killed it and it killed me..I was so tired when I got home it was hard to function but I managed. Mel had made stroganoff(sort of)and that was tasty. I'm trying to remember what all else we did but I was tired and I think we headed to be early. Benton was happy and bouncing and that was good too.
Saturday Benton let us sleep in. He awoke crying at 6am and mel changed his diaper and hit the bathroom really quick before bringing him to me and he was fast asleep again. We all went back to sleep until about 8 which was nice. Got up and fed everyone and then Benton and I headed to the Wilmot library for WWKIP (World Wide Knit in Public) day. I got to hang with some new folks I hadn't met and I got hang out with folks I do know but hadn't seen in a while. I did get to meet
coffeeem aka Emma Bull. I didn't know she was a famous author until after she left but she was way cool and I hope to see her again at other knitting functions. Benton was cute as ever and wore his "Future Stitcher/Plays with Sticks and String" onesie. We headed to lunch at a Pho place across the parking lot. It was good but I can't eat the pho much because of the cabbage and broccoli. I picked it out and had broth and noodles and meat but I'll not keep that place on my list.
After that Benton and I headed to Grandma's and hung out for quite a while. I got some crochet done and Becky got Benton time. Then it was time to go home just before the shop closed. I hadn't intended on staying out that late but it was nice. Mel had spent the day working on the coolers and then in the shop before his elbow gave out. He's got tennis elbow on his right side now and its bothering him something fierce. He's letting it rest but its frustrating him which I understand...especially since he has a spinning wheel to finish refinishing before the retreat next week.
So saturday was good and crafty. Sunday we slept in again for quite a while and then were up. Mel was in the shop when Ed texted about breakfast and we headed out to Joe's. It was nice to sit and chat with just Ed and Candace and it was a good morning for it. Got home and mel and I worked on the house the rest of the day. It had gotten to the "clutter taking over" stage which does take quite a bit to get the piles of crap taken care of including putting away all of the laundry. Benton was happy to play on his play mats and we kept hopping by for snuggles and tickles. We cleaned off bookshelves and had a huge pile of books that Bookman's only took a few. I think I will drop some off at the book bin on Harrison and Golflinks and try booksman's one more time. We got $46 in credit but I'm sure they will take more soon.
I got everything done but working on my studio and finishing cleaning the piano so not too bad. The house looks much better and that makes me feel better.
I did realize that I had doubled my workout by misreading my workout sheet. So yes the workout killed me cause I did double what I was supposed to...oops. So I made sure to take that into account and increased the weights for lower numbers of sets for monday.
Yesterday it was go go go all day. I was a bit late getting to work and things were just jumping until after 4pm. Ooofdha. Hit the gym and I need to work on my squat form. I'm good with dumbbells but with the bar I need to work on it. But I did good and I ran most of my time on the treadmill.
Got home and mel was heating up beef and barley for dinner. That was awesome and nummy. Folks started arriving for dyeing, scribble and sewing help and it was a nice evening of good chatting and projects. Tonight I will run to target after I pick up Benton to get another bookcase. We need a tall one to make things easier to organize and we really do need it. I hope to have that put together by the end of the week so we can reorg bookcases on Friday. I also home to get some banana bread made tonight too but we shall see.
So far today is much better than yesterday and I got to day care just as they opened and I've been rocking the paperwork here at work since I arrived. All good.
