Dreaded Words

Most relationships have words that one spouse dreads hearing from the others mouth. Pat had to hear those words this morning. Two of the words I believe he hates most that come out of my mouth (thank fully not often); I'm awake.

Mostly this happens at night while trying to get to sleep but today I mysteriously awake at 5 am. At least in the morning i'm less likely to talk his head off as I am known to do at night. this morning I wondered around the apartment and sat on the computer trying to avoid making noise. One of my hidden talents happens to be making LOTS of noise. When awake at odd hours cleaning, pacing and talking are three of my favorite activities none of which are particularly quiet.

I think i did a good job this morning as pat did not get up earlier then normal. As a bonus I got to work early and will get to leave early on our long drive tonight.

Why do Geese Cross The Road

No it's not a joke. If you were a goose and you needed to cross a busy road wouldn't you fly? It seems much safer then waddling across the road.

This morning a flock of geese walked across the busy road in front of me, yes I stopped. I ended up not hitting any of the feathered friends and not getting rear-ended, though it was a little closer then I would have liked.

This experience lead me to 2 questions. The one above and more importantly how much damage would it have done to my car? I would have taken out approximately 4 of the geese and they are just big enough to hit all the mechanical stuff under the car if I were to roll over it. I would rather not find out.

Ripped Off!

After my workout I went to get the mail. Waiting for me was a letter from the IRS. It says stimulus payment on the back. The stimulus payment YEA! I nearly ran home (but I don't run so i really didn't). Pat was at the computer, 'Guess what finally came today' as I tear open the envelope. No Check. I look over the contents, definitely no check. The letter said that we qualify for the rebate check, but did not contain said check.

WHAT, I look at the envelope it still says stimulus payment.

Why can they send a letter saying the payment will come and not send the payment with it. After all that excitement I still have to wait a week or so, Grumble.

Rebate Check Week

I need to work on my patence. The rebate check should come this week (or be mailed this week). I can't wait to pay off my student loan. Unfortunitly I have to.

Lethargy

I slept horribly last night! Today I am lethargic, cooking myself in the laundrymat did not help. At least it's Sunday and though I could not spend the day by the pool as planned (thunder storms), I relaxed and rested.

The Problem With Exercise

Apparently Yoga is not a great idea after running for 30 min, when you don't run. I did not hold my lunges correctly and my knee hurt today. At least it was only when I put weight on it while bending it. I went easy today tomorrow I'll hit the treadmill again.

Debt

Well we are almost done with my student loan. I'm going to post on our loans until they are all paid, I figure about 3 years from now. (not every day)

Gym Follies

I discovered today why gyms often restrict children often under the age of 18 on premise. I went to the complex gym today and their was a girl under the posted 21, I'll guess 14. She was walking on the treadmill on the very SLOWEST setting .02? She would take a step then tap the side then repeat, when she got board she would turn around and walk back-words then turn around and drag her foot on the belt for a few minutes (while standing on the side). Then she must have gotten really board she decided to run on the treadmill. Sounds normal right?? Well she did not have sneakers on, sigh, so she took her shoes off. EWWWWWWWWWWW!! The running must have tired her out, or she lost interest but she was soon walking around the rest of the gym with no shoes on. I lost track of her at that point. but who walks around a gym with bare feet.

I remember going to the gym at that age or even younger, I definitely did not do anything like that. The kicker is I would have used that treadmill. Luckily the elliptical was open so i still got a good workout.

Sorry Daddy!

I have family photo's all over my desk at work. One of the adjusters noticed one of the photo's and asked "who's the old man?". I looked for the photo of my grandfather to point out and make sure we were looking at the same photo. Unfortunately he caught me and pointed to the photo of my mom and dad, yes my dad was the old man he asked about. He looked like his elementary school teacher.

I suppose after years of being 39 there is no denying that my father is (I can't say it). At least his age has perks, he's got 2 grandkids on the way and he's retired.
