Wow, it has gotten hot here. It is about 92 but stunningly pretty out with the sun shining. It just makes upstairs too warm without having air condition. We did pick up a fan for the bedroom and it was a help last night. Don’t know if we will be sleeping upstairs tonight, we will try. But the down stairs is about 10 degrees cooler then upstairs.
I have my laptop downstairs now and will probably leave it down here for the weekend. Besides it is a great excuse to get out of the office. I’ve been living there since Tues…..if it wasn’t for going to the gym….
I finally got our scanner to communicate with my laptop!!!!! I worked on it for about 3hrs last night and it was a pain and it was pissing me off, but it is working…at least it did last night for the business fax that I had to get out.
Tuesday was 1st day back to gym. Surprisingly, I did much better on the treadmill then I thought I would. I even did my best time. Wednesday was my trainer day…..what a workout. After a session with him, I leave dripping wet with sweat. But Thrusday….gggrrr…that day pissed me off. I don’t know if I just didn’t enough sleep Wednesday night or I over did my knees with jumping-jacks the day before, but I could barely do anything. I had such a hard time on the treadmill, I had to get off after 20min instead of my normal 30. I went on and did a few other things but it was a very disappointing day at the gym. It was the 1st time since we started that I didn’t do at least my last best or better on the treadmill, so I was very upset with it. But my trainer said that fact that I keep trying and was upset about instead of being content with it, is a good thing.
Today I was still feeling it while having my trainer session. And my feet were hurting a lot more then usual. But I still got a very sweaty workout. I just hope that I do much better Monday. I plan on getting some walks in this weekend……may not be as big of workout as the gym but with the heat it will help my metabolism.
I have been working hard and constantly since Tues, even though I was restless as hell in the office yesterday. I’m finally caught up job wise, but for us I still need to do our checkbooks, balance the bank statements, bills, emails, clean up my mess around my desk, and do up our pictures from our trip. But now I just don’t want to do crap……grin….but after this week of intense catch up, can you blame me?
Racism alarms Obama’s backers
**For those who wonder why we wanted out of Indiana and the midwest? Here is your answer….. What gets us is that the media is just starting to report on this? We know racism is everywhere and Oregon and Portland has their history of it, but the in your face racism that is told in this article is exactly what we know about Indiana. In fact after working in Boone County in Indiana, I was shocked that it went to Obama. Then people have this total misconception of Lake County, because of Gary and South Chicago. That area is predominately black, but the rest of Lake County…..that is another story. It is very separated, white and the farther south you go, more rural.  I should know, I have family all over that county and learned to drive there.
Teen alleging rape turns to YouTube
**It is sad that a teen has to turn to this. Â And I don’t fully agree with people saying that this makes her more venerable, it may be more empowering and therapeutic to her.
