I am feeling much better than I have in recent days. Of course, I’m feeling like I’m ready to drift off while I sit and write this. I’m exhausted. I went for a run with Joe and Star this morning. That was an experience. Star, who loves to run, but on her own terms, tried to sham out on us more than once. Sprint, stop, smell things, mark, sprint again, drag butt, sprint, smell, continue Correction: tried to sham out on Joe. I was trying to just keep running.

My legs are sore. My calves ache and my whole body is a big ache. My way, I guess, to make up for missing three sessions of bootcamp last week. Add in that I pretty much cleaned the house because of the last week of neglect (no commenting husband). Read more…

I apologize for the lack of posts. I’ve been sicker than sick this week. I haven’t even made it to bootcamp. Tomorrow though, I’m hoping to get there as I’m starting to feel better and I think the fluid in my ears is finally dissipating. Well now, on to more exciting things.

Originally, my goal was to finish the quilt I started back in September. But after piecing it together, I realized that machine quilting the pieces together was not happening. I have to stitch it by hand as my sewing machine is not capable of dealing with that much bulky fabric. It’s now sitting in a quilting hoop, pinned and ready to be finished. Read more…

Joe has been extremely frustrated with his blazer. Right after he got back from SERE, he attempted to ford a river with four days worth of rainfall in it and pretty much killed everything on the vehicle. The vehicle has had an extremely rough idle since the incident. He spent all day today rebuilding the throttle body and it’s still rough BUT it’s not dying at stop signs and stalling out now… or it didn’t when he drove it home. I really won’t go into much more discussion than that (he’s embarrassed about the situation), but I have to admit, that I’m really amused by the situation. Things happen, mistakes get made, but we keep on moving forward and roll with it. I think that’s the best way to live. Read more…

It’s already Thursday, where has this week gone? I’ve been Mrs. Gimpy for most of it, but today, I’m not feeling to bad, comfortably sore, not ‘OMG, somebody find a shot gun and shoot me now’ kind of sore. That would have been Tuesday afternoon. The husband keeps teasing me about it. But when I challenge him to do what I do, he backs down and tells me he’s a professional tough guy and is above that. To me that’s a sign of saying he probably couldn’t keep up if he even wanted too and that cross fit activities WOULD kick his ass. Read more…
