YAY nomless!!!!  I'm so happy for you...that sounds wonderful!  I hope the schedule works out, I'm sure once you're there a while, you can renegotiate your hours.  I'm excited for you!

Laura...I'm actually a shell of my former self..lol.  Too many injuries and ds's illness really set me back.  I went 3 months one time without working out at all when he was so sick and in the hospital...last thing on my mind and up all night with him.  It's always on my mind, has kind of taken the wind out of my sails so to speak but we have to learn to live with it.  It isn't going anywhere nor a one-time illness, so this is the new norm for us, unfortunately.  Hope you got some sleep!  I admire you still getting up and going at that time, I used to get up at 3:30 to go before work but don't think I could do it now...pretty sure I couldn't/wouldn't!  LOL!

Judy...I get bad allergies too, I know of which you speak.  Mine make me so tired too...head feels fuzzy, very spacey, dull headache, etc.  I hope you feel better!

Hi Daisy! 

I did 2 fast ones with Lucy yesterday morning then my gf(just met her but we clicked, like her a lot) and I hiked 6...and I ran a half-mile each way to meet her.  Took me way out on a trail and on a new trail I'd never done.  I got my good shoes all muddy though!  Went and bought new trail shoes yesterday at DSW. 

Rain today...not sure what we're doing...talking about rock-climbing or indoor trampoline jumping.  Hope everyone has a great day!

@nomless Congratulations!!!!

@JudyL Matthew stayed far enough off shore that I got a bit of rain yesterday and today we have wind. Nothing major. Welcome back!

@Iluvlucy I am still in awe. Rock climbing and trampolining and this is tame? You're still my inspiration.

Because of the weather yesterday, I'll be out with the yard today. I'm not sleeping very well lately. Think it's stress and maybe some other things. I think I'm getting the pillow TSV today and we'll see if that helps.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Thanks, Judy, Daisy, Lucy and Laura!

Judy, I hope you feel better soon. Allergies are such an annoyance.

Lucy, it's fun when we click with someone new. Enjoy your tramping today - lol, you know what I mean.

Laura, I love My Pillow. I do best with the firm fill.

I did a long workout today. I can tell the difference, feel a lot better. Will take it easy the rest of the da.y

Hey, drizzling here today, hubby cut more wood and I cleaned.

Nomless hooray you got the job!  I"m so happy for you, yes I"m sure down the road the schedule could be adjusted and room to move up is good too.  What a huge relief for you!

We have football on and flipping to baseball during commercials.  

Yesterday we went to camp, it was so peaceful there on the water.  It was cold, in the 40's but the sun was out and Logan had fun.  My son and his 2 daughters came too so it was a good day.

Still praying for those in Virginia, FL, and NC...flooding looks really bad!

Thanks,  Bopper!  Glad you and family had a good day at camp yesterday. 

Workout done. Now to figure out what to make for dinner tonight. I nend to make a brewery run, but I think I'll do that tomorrow and will make do with whatever I have tonight.

Happy Sunday to all.

Morning and welcome Monday once again!

It started out very chilly here, hubby had to scrape the window on the car but now it's up to 53, and I just got back from a very nice walk, very windy but I had my hat and fleece jacket on.  Saw a black wooly catapillar and I hear through the farmers almanac that it means a back winter depending on how the stripe looks on him.  The more brown the milder the winter the more black the more severe, it was almost even but a little more black than brown, so who knows!

The leaves are very slow changing here, only the tops of the trees have some color otherwise it's pretty green still.  Pine needles are falling like rain though.

I have no plans today other than walking Logan and house chores.  

Enjoy your day!

Hi, Bopper. Lovely picture, as usual. Leaves haven't started to change here. Last year, they just turned brown, and it looks lIke we might get the same this year. It's rainy today. I did my workout, not much else.  No news either, so I'll keep this short for today.

Good Morning!  I feel like today is Monday bopper since dh had yestserday off...it messes up my entire week! 

We're in the 30's this morning, getting ready to walk Lucy even though she's pretty pooped from yesterday's hike.  We did our furthest one yet and she did quite a few of those miles on her own.  We think she did over 9 miles, she would have done more but we wouldn't let her since she's out of shape from the heat and humidity.

We ran into some really interesting people...one works in Congress and the other was on Ronald Reagan's staff and very involved in DC politics.  Talk about stories, I could have listened all day. 

We had such a beautiful hike!  My feet were tired and sore last night...I soaked in a warm bath.  Have to do that one again, it's along the Potomac and covers all kinds of terrain.

My gf has snow already and is getting more this morning.  We're supposed to warm up 30* degrees today.  Our leaves aren't much either...a couple of pretty trees here and there.

nomless...when do you start?  If you already mentioned it, I forgot...lol.  MickD, Laura, Candlequeen, Daisy, Judy...et al...where is everyone???

[nomless]

Hi, Lucy, it's always fun to read about Lucy and your hikes.

I don't have a definite start date because it depends on how long it takes the city to get paper work done. It will be 2-3 weeks.  In the meantime, I'm getting my head ready to be back on  a schedule but again. That will be a big change after several months of free time 24/7.

We actually have a day of 75 degrees!   Back in the 80s tomorrow but I broke out my Irish sweater and boots today.  I don't care.  I freeze under 80 and my office is on 69 which is too freaking cold so I'm good.  My coworkers are making fun of me because I have a mini heater at my desk.  Don't care.  You freeze to death.  I'm warm and getting my work done.  

I did Pound this morning and Power.  They changed up some of the songs and routines and I think she said we are completely changing out next week, thank goodness.  I really don't like the Fall release.  Had to modify to avoid aggravating my back.

Unfortunately my back is really bothering me again.  I have the icy hot pad and took some ibuprofen the last two days.  The pad seems to really work for me so I'm trying not to take anything and just let the menthol do its thing.  My pillows can't get here fast enough.   I also need to pull out my Lo Bak again and stretch my back out and see if that helps.  I think all the power cleans in the new release plus the yard work on Saturday and some other movements over the weekend made me hurt again.    

Hope everyone is off to a great week.  Waiting on 5pm so I can go home and be a couch potato.  Just not feeling work this week.  @nomless enjoy your final days of freedom.
