Yesterday's training "run" didn't get done so I will need to do it today to stay on schedule. I was just too daggon tired. I forgot to take my morning meds and that is disastrous for my energy levels. Instead of exercise and laundry I took a 3 hour nap, woke up for 2 hours then went to bed. Hubby wanted me to go out for Mexican food with him, I told him just to bring home some chips and queso. Not the best dinner, but I really just wanted a snack. I was over in calories yesterday, but not too bad all things considered. Today should be better.
Plan for today is work half a day at work, and half day from home. Do my walk/run at lunch, then shower and finish my day. We are signing our home improvement loan papers today, so that's exciting. One step closer to my new kitchen & bathroom. After that I'm driving to see my cousin who I haven't seen for 18 years. She and I were like sisters growing up. I was a mean kid, so I tortured her as she was younger and whiny, but I loved her like a sister. She lives 7 hours away and rarely makes it back "home". "Home" is only about an hour and a half from where I live, so it's an easy drive. I'm very excited to see her and finally meet her fiancé/husband. They never got married, but they've been engaged and living together for 15 years. I think that counts!

Good day yesterday. Had a nice visit with family. Unfortunately, I can’t sleep so it’s 2;20 in the morning and I have to get up at 7:00. Ughhhh. Upside, I got the laundry in the drier so I’ll have workout clothes for spin class in the morning. After spin, my coach has me doing a 5k to set my baseline. It will be slow 15-17min/mile because I’m still afraid to run. My knees just don’t like the additional weight on carrying. I don’t blame them, I don’t like it either, lol.
After my “run” I may get in a nap while watching tennis. Then maybe, just maybe weed the floor bed beside the house. Then shower and go to a house warming party in the evening. Food will be barbecue & beer for dinner, but I can prepare for that. No real plans for the rest of the holiday weekend. Church & maybe go to a friend’s dad’s memorial service. All in all pretty chill.

Rainy, windy day thanks to the remnants of the hurricane, so I’ll have to stick with indoor exercises today. So many medical expenses and insurance headaches this month. Hopefully next month will be better.
Still can’t find a new job. And since I opened up to my supervisor about how stressed I was feeling it has led to a whole lot of awkwardness. Like one of the program managers calling me and telling me “I know you don’t like to give up a lot of work but you can’t be afraid to ask for help.” Right, this is all my fault. It’s not you piling more work on me than one person can possibly do. Hopefully that gets better next month too.
Sounds like so much of the same that I am on stress leave for. I hope you find something soon.0 -

Well, the end of August passed in a blur - a week with the younger grandkids, some last minute adventures with the older ones, a couple of professional development workshops, and a few days down with a stomach bug. All of a sudden it's the start of a new semester and I'm playing catch-up with chores, an overgrown garden, and prep for my classes. First up today is the DMV since my car is overdue for inspection. Then maybe a quick stop for groceries. We're in the midst of another heatwave, so outdoor activities, including exercise, will be limited.

14. Just for fun: Start sketching dragon on a pile of books, offering one to the armored knight, & banner that reads "Treasure should not be hoarded / It should be shared." Use AI for ideas.

Had a good weekend. Got all of my workouts in, even though I totally overheated on Sunday's ride. Luckily Saturday's 5k route took me to the park where there was water or I don't think I could have finished it. It was just so hot! Today I'm supposed to ride for an hour, but truth is I'm really worn down. I will do it, but it won't be pretty. I just need to get through today, then tomorrow is a rest day. I may have to talk to my new coach and see if we can put a second rest day into the week. Right now I'm struggling with energy levels.
