I'm so glad my legs aren't as sore today as they were yesterday! I did not go on the elliptical today, wanted to give my legs another day's rest. I did walk on the treadmill for about 30 minutes, and then did some reps on the weight machines. I was hoping to maybe spend part of my time on the one stationary cycle, but another woman came in and got on it while I was still on the treadmill. Oh well, maybe tomorrow.

Tonight I came home, cooked my pork chop on the bbq, went in to chat for a bit. It got boring, so I left, and decided I'd try to work on some of the clutter in this room. I pulled out some empty boxes and matched them up with a few figurines I used to have displayed but no longer have space for. I also noticed I had a few duplicates I had forgotten about. I marked those boxes as duplicates. I found one box that I cannot figure out what went in it. Something somewhat breakable, because there's styrofoam on the inside. I searched the apt and couldn't find anything close to resembling the shape of the styrofoam. I'll hold onto the box for a bit, maybe I'll come across it later. I'm still deciding what I'm going to do with these figurines. They are by no means a complete collection, but overall a good deal of money was spent on them. Wondering if I should try to sell them? I have Calico Kittens (discontinued) by Enesco and several unicorn figurines I'm going to pack away. The unicorns have been on a corner shelf in my bedroom, but I'm also getting tired of that, so that's part of my overall plan to reduce clutter.

At least I know I did get at least SOMETHING accomplished tonight.

Tomorrow I'll be bringing you the adventures of the 17 year plague! LMAO

Another unproductive weekend bites the dust. My legs have been just killing me this weekend, so I didn't have the desire to do much of anything. I started working out at the new workout center at work during my lunch hour. Well, let me just say that to go more than 5 minutes on the elliptical, you need to have killer thighs. Since I don't, the 5 minutes I tried it almost killed me. And I've been paying for it all weekend. Every move to stand from a sitting position or vice versa just KILLS me. THE PAIN!!!! CALGON, TAKE ME AWAY!

So needless to say, I didn't do much of anything this weekend. Yesterday I took my car to the dealer to have the oil changed and the tires rotated. Wanted the car to be in tip-top shape for my trip to Memphis on the 22nd. I also bought an adapter, that will allow me to use my new keyboard with my old computer. It's a PS/2 to AT reverse keyboard adapter, not that it means anything to most of you. I'm just glad AliceKay helped me find it at TigerDirect.com. AND, it gets shipped out of the warehouse IN THE TOWN I LIVE IN, so I should have it tomorrow. Too bad I can't just go pick it up and save the shipping costs, lol.

Today I got up nice and early for Kerry's stream, got on the computer, started up msn (no kerry, but that's not unusual), logged in to chat, no Kerry. That IS unusual for a Sunday morning. I was told by the few people there that she had to go somewhere. I thought, "Since I didn't get an offline msn message, maybe there's on on icq." I logged in to icq, nothing. Hmmmm, ok I'll check email, everyone in the room knows so she wasn't going to be there. Oh look, an email! Hmmm, going somewhere with LH, she'll let us know where later. Ok. I sat in the room listening to Cry, until he played something that I didn't care to listen to on a Sunday morning. Shut that down, and clicked to see if AliceKay was still streaming (since I know she sometimes runs long on Sunday mornings). She was still streaming, for a few songs anyway, then when she was done, I left chat and went to do something else while I waited for the race to start.

Or should I say, I waited and waited and waited and waited, and FINALLY it started after 4pm because of a rain delay. The race was just starting to get interesting and they start talking about more rain coming to the area, and just after halfway...you guessed it, rain. They stopped the race and after about 30-45 minutes, finally called it official. Rain-shortened races are never very exciting because you don't get the scramble at the end for positions. Oh well, at least the winner was one of the drivers I have in the fantasy league I participate in.

After that was over, I checked and there's NOTHING on tv tonight. Not interested in watching the Tony's, I don't go to Broadway, so why bother? LOL. Figured I might as well come and type something up for people to read either later tonight or tomorrow morning. Then while typing it, I get a knock on my door. I go answer it, it's one of the guys from upstairs. Apparently his girlfriend lost an expensive bracelet through the slats on their balcony and they were hoping it was on mine. I look out there, nope no bracelet. But, it could have fallen between mine and been in the tarp thingy the guy below me put up to catch all the birdseed from my feeder. I grabbed my flashlight, found it, asked her to describe it, she did; I suggested they ask the gentleman on the first floor to pull back his tarp to get the bracelet. Fortunately, he was home. I grabbed my broom, because I knew there'd be seed to sweep up after. He got the bracelet out, went back inside his apartment, the youngsters left, I swept the birdseed off his patio and came back up here to finish the sentence I was in the middle of, lol.

Oh yeah, and I did two loads of laundry today.

Such an exciting life I lead!

Pretty boring day today. Work was slow, made more file folders, I walked to the post office at lunch today. It's about 2-1/2 - 3 city blocks away, but about 6 regular blocks. And I went the long way, on the sidewalk, to the crosswalk at the intersection then down, instead of cutting through the parking garage and jaywalking across in front of the Starbucks like everyone usually does. I got these cool looking stamps that have both the flag and the Statue of Liberty on them.

After coming home tonight, I relaxed in front of the tv, pretty typical, snoozed between 6:30 and 7pm, missing the second half of CSI, then I watched CSI: Miami, CSI, and ER. Anyway, time to go to bed, it's casual Friday tomorrow! Woooo Hoooo

What Day is it Again?


I was talking on the phone with Deb tonight, and for some reason couldn't remember that today was Monday. Like anyone ever forgets when it's Monday? I'm either getting old, or I have Alzheimers, lmao. J/K

Today was a learning day at work. I discovered that for six months I was doing something wrong when I was paying bills for coils that we had slit. It wasn't really my fault though. It was for the account I was handling while Karen was on maternity leave, and she never got a chance to tell me all the information I needed. Her leave was pretty sudden. So, when Accounting was balancing accounts for the end of the year, they noticed one account was off by $30,000. Once we realized what I was doing wrong, that accounted for about $20,000 of it. Needless to say, now I know what I should have been doing. They say you learn something new every day, and today I did!

I was soooo hungry today, after having my usual breakfast of two chewy granola bars, my pb&j sandwich for lunch, my TGIF chips for a snack, I was starving by 3:30. Normally, I don't get hungry till about 5pm. And I've had a taste for Taco Bell for several days, so I decided to stop on the way home and have some tacos and get it out of my system (so to speak). Was yummy!

Tomorrow is supposed to be about 40F, so I think I might take my daily constitutional at lunchtime. I had stopped once it got extremely cold last month. And now since it's after 11pm (I got caught up watching highlights of the 1987-88 AFC Championship game between Denver and Cleveland), I think I'll go to bed.
