I hope you have a great time Dej!!

I did only my 30 min jaunt this morning. Took the night off and talked to Mom on the phone for a couple hours.

Tomorrow's my running around day.. Monday could be a wash out, so lots to get done tomorrow. Early to bed. I've been filled with fatigue this week, not like me at all!

Went to the gym yesterday. Barely did 20 minutes. Too tired.

No traditional exercising today. But, I am cleaning my closet out. I needed to put new light bulbs in it, and couldnt get the ladder in there to do it. So, I had to clean stuff up. Now I can get in there. Found some dead spiders and one live one. (eeeekkk!!) Vacuumed up the creepies. Picked up some junk. Put yarn in boxes. Hung up some clothes. Vacuumed again (found another spider) and then got my aunt to come over and put the light bulbs in the fixture for me. (I was dizzy)

Now I'm trying to figure out what to do with a ton of yarn that I didnt put away in boxes. I'm crocheting a scrap afghan, so it's not like I wont be using it. I just need a container.

After all that cleaning, I'm tired as heck, and I still have to put more stuff away. At least I'm doing something constructive and I consider this exercise. Sweating more cleaning my closet than I do when I walk on the treadmill at the gym.

Veging out for the rest of the day, with emphasis on REST!

You guys are all doing so well..

I'm still working on my closet. (it's a walk-in)

Geeze, I have a lot of crap in my closet! I cleaned it out last year when we did all our remodels, and I dont know how it happened, but there was a ton of stuff in there that I dont know where it came from or how it got there.

Woke up with my knee hurting really bad this morning. (hurt it last month. Thought it healed. Guess it wasnt) I'm having to clean my closet for a few minutes, and then go sit for 20 because the knee hurts so bad, and it's making my back hurt too. At least I'm doing some sort of exercise tho. My knee hurts more when it's bent for sitting than when I'm standing, so standing and cleaning my closet out is less painful than sitting here writing this post.

Next, I have to clean off my desktop. Mostly because when I find something in my closet that I want to save, I put it on the desk. So some of my junk is just getting relocated and not actually cleaned out.

At least my closet is cleaner...and finally getting vacuumed after getting new carpet last year. I'm going to suck down a bottle of tylenol and lay in bed and cry later tho. (need to have a doctor look at my knee eventually)

I baked a chocolate cake today... from scratch! I haven't baked in ages! I used gluten flour, egg whites, + a few other modifications to the recipe. It still turned out very good, though much denser than the version Mom makes using her ingredients.

Otherwise, I ran around a good portion of the morning/afternoon grocery shopping etc. Tomorrow I have the cable/Internet company coming over bright and early (switching providers), then I'll do my chores I set aside today to bake.

Prayers sent! 3 miles is quite a hike!

Whooo! what a wild ride!

http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&tab=wl type in Rabbit Hollow Road, Winchester, NH then follow the map. you will see Route 10, which leads to Forest Lake, swing around off of that till you see Rabbit Hollow. Once you hit rabbit hollow, keep clicking on the corner of forest lake and rabbit hollow till it turns into pictures, and you can drag the mouse up the hill and see my walk. Whooo!

If you double click on the map on Rabbit hollow it will eventually turn into a picture trail, and you can see for yourself how long and steep it is. We walked all the way from Lake Shore, around forest lake, up Rabbit Hollow and over to stone mountain. WOW! thats a walk! I was blind, huffing, and my knees were burning, but I did it! Go ahead, follow along on the map. its a walk and a half!

Im beat! Im off for a hearty breakfast now, and to find DS who is supposed to be helping paint a historic buidling in another town, and he doesnt have enough money for lunch, so we will surprise him with a basket of goodies. He is working so hard. Hurray!


The map does NOT give credit to just how steep many parts of that road are. huffing and puffing, snot blowing and nose dripping with DH saying "breath thru your nose!" and Im saying "im gonna puke, just keep walking!" but I have done it several times now, and its easier each time. Im so proud of me! It takes about 2.5 hours for our walk but so pretty.
