Workout with trainer for 30 minutes then 20 minutes on treadmill. So busy getting ready for vacation and making sure mom has everything she needs while I’m gone. Grocery shopping and picked up meds yesterday. I ordered the KCM dvd and will start when I return and continue through July.
So looking looking forward to this trip but also nervous about leaving mom. I know my sister will take good care of her but it’s been awhile since I’ve left her and taken a trip. I’m such a worry wart. What can I say? 🤷🏽♀️
Girl’s trip starts next Thursday and we return the following Tuesday. My bestie is super excited. We haven’t been any where in a long time. 🙂

Kathy, your trip will be grand and your mother will be taken good care of by your sister...worry not, my friend.
I have Collin Duty this morning then our housekeeper will be here around 11:30...must clean up before she gets here!! EGADS!!! I'd like to get a walk in after she's finished...we'll see.
I need to find my 'walking brain' again...it's lost somewhere between my ears...I can't seem to put my shoes on...something is very wrong up there.

Kathy I know how you feel. I worry when my mom is not here. I worry about her even when she is here. I think that is our job. You have a great vacation and chat when you get back. So glad you are wanting to do the KCM weight workout.
I am upping my weights steadily.

Kathy - excited for your girls trip....I'm sure it will be an amazing time. You deserve a break.
I feel like terrible yesterday. Left work mid-day. Thought it was a migraine....headache, nausea, achy, indigestion.....must have caught a little bug of sorts....laid down and slept for 3 hours...felt like a flu. Super achy. Thank goodness I get to work from home today. Hope to be able to sort of take it easy. My stomach is still wonky;(
We leave for vacation Saturday through Thursday....going to a mountain resort in Virginia. I can't wait!!! A ton to do beforehand though...

Karen, hope you are feeling better.
Yesterday I had Collin Duty then I got 5.73 miles done in 116 mins. It was sunny and windy. The wind helped me make it thru!!
Today is Collin Duty then my trainer for 60 mins. Might talk Ronan into a walk...we'll see.
Have a good Wednesday, ladies.
Chris0 -
Karen get well soon. Vacationing while sick is a no no.
Chris I would love some of your sunshine. Send me some. Hope that Ronan will go on a short walk with you.

It was too hot to take Ronan out for a walk this afternoon soooooo.....he and I made egg salad sandwiches this afternoon...we haven't done that in a while...then he watched three episodes of Blippi on my computer!! We did have a lot of laughs at what Blippi was doing and getting into.
Yesterday we got additional balls for Ronan's ball pit. He saved the three big bags the balls came in and put his Fire and Ice creatures in them...I hid the bags in a hall closet and he had to find them this morning. Then the question was...How did the bags get in there?? He piled the bags one on top of the other and the top bag reached the door handle with the handle on the bag..."That's how they did it, Grandma...has to be." I laughed really hard.

Shelley, sending you sunshine!!

Collin Duty killed me this morning. No walking for me. Got hot here.

Waiting to finish with my grocery order then putting on my shoes and headed to the post office. It is beautiful out there!!
Back later.
Chris0 -
I did 5.69 miles in 114 mins this morning. Wish I'd taken my umbrella. It was so sunny and very little wind. I'm going to walk tomorrow before the kids get here to celebrate Father's Day and Pat's b'day.
Chris0 -
Chris sorry to hear that. Those little guys can really wear us out. But so worth it. Thanks for the sunshine. Actually got some today.
So the county Code guy would not allow us to put in a spiral staircase unless we went 60+ inches! Way to much wasted floor space with that. So we went with an In & Out library ladder. Had to order one special. Will take ages to get here though.
Worked out yesterday. It was a great workout. Spent today enjoying the sunshine Chris sent me. Well after we had a good morning drenching that is. But I still enjoyed it.
Shelley0 -
I did 5.60 miles in 114 mins this morning then the kids came over for Father's Day and Pat's b'day. We have great food and delicious dessert!!
I will pay for it later, I am sure. 
I hope everyone's Father's Day was grand! Ours was!!
Chris1 -
Chris we did! Rocky and I took the pups for an 8 mile ride. The weather was beautiful. I am a little burned. We had chocolate cake even. Delish. I did do the KCM mix that had all the exercises. So worth it.

Our bank changed their web site completely over a month ago. I could not figure out how to transfer money to the Education Acct for college for the boys. It is one of Sara's accounts. Sara showed me how yesterday. It was so easy..."Transfer to Another Member" it said on the tab..."I never saw that!!" I said to Sara. "It's just new today, Mom." said my Darling Doctor Daughter!!!! EGADS, MAN!!!!! I've been so stressed about it and afraid to touch any buttons!!!
We had way too much food and dessert yesterday. It was so fun!! I did get 5.60 miles done in 114 mins in the morning, tho.
My trainer is sick today and will be out of town for the rest of the week. We scheduled a workout Saturday, but I don't know if I want to do that on a Saturday...we'll see.
Patrick is 70 years old today...such a baby. Our 40th Wedding Anniversary is next month...amazing that I've kept him so long!!! Actually, I don't know what I'd do without him, the lug!!!
Got to go...Ronan is on his way for a play day!!
Chris0 -
Chris I hate changes! I am so glad that you know how now. Education costs way to much. I ate to much also. I was eating my feelings today. Patrick, Happy Birthday.
Our new sarge declared today that there will no longer be cell phones in the court rooms. Mind you there have been no complaints. We keep them off. I told him in that case there is no reason for me to bring mine to work. I refuse to leave it laying around. I have left it at work in the past charging it. Don't know what will happen when I am asked to provide a security code to sign on. They made us use our personal cell phones for it. Not doing it, nope no way.
I hate micro management. He is constantly changing little things. I hate when they tell us we can't clock in until 5 minutes till, then start briefing at 10 till. And now we are considered late if we are on time! He said that in briefing today. He can shove it up his tight ..........
Just ignore my vents,

I love you Shelley. I remember those days. I had a boss who fought with me for two years until she finally realized how much of an asset I was. Nit picked everything. That why when I retired June 1st I took 2 trips in the month of May. Payback is a bi*ch. I can’t wait until you retire!!!

Shelley, that happened to me too!!! They hired a manager who did push button payroll that was easy-pee-see...we had all done it before being hired at the District...Community College payroll was a whole different bag of worms, and he had no idea what he was doing. He and I went head-to-head most days. They kept him a couple years after I let. After I left everyone in payroll transferred over to HR...he had no one in the dept who knew anything...payback!!
This is where we vent. Feel free to do it anytime!!
I have Collin Duty this morning then plan to walk about 5 miles.
Chris0 -
Kathy and Chris I miss your occasional rants. And thanks for understanding. Karma, love that word. Guess what my friends? He reversed it this morning. I think it was the Lt. more than he. I could tell by the way he said if your phone goes off in court you will be getting a butt chewing. I don't care. Mine is always off. And I mean always. So happy again.
Did the KCM workout this morning. Did one of the mixes. For chest and back. I feel like someone is squeezing me around my chest. Might have went a bit to heavy. Commissioner meeting tonight.
Shelley0 -
Be careful with the weights, Shelley...you already know that but because I'm older, I get to tell you one more time...BE CAREFUL!!! You know I love you!!
SIL texted me that he had clients 9:30 - 11:00. Cool...I got there at 9:20...he didn't have a client...he took an hour long shower/get ready then came out and said his 10:30 client cancelled...Ronan and I came home then. Did he know both clients cancelled and was being a jerk...again??? Why didn't he shower when Sara was feeding Collin before she left for work?? ooohhh, I do get angry when I get home and rant at Patrick...poor guy!!
I put on my shoes and went out for 6.12 miles in 121 mins. I stopped along the way to pet a beautiful Lab puppy who gave me leg hugs and kisses!! There were a lot of folks out walking today.

Getting from Virgina ladies! We've taken a little social break as much as possible while hear which has been nice. Have a really nice time. Our condo is gorgeous and the view of the rockies gorgeous for the 2 days we had it. Now overcast and rainy off and on. Not dampening our spirits though. On Father's Day we toured Monticello which was really a great experience. We did a behind the scenes tour which was super neat, and also a tour on the life of the 120 enslaved people who lived on the plantation. Words can't describe.....I am still so moved by it and will honor them with the social justice work I am committed to. We walked around Charlottsville and the U of VA Monday and then the rain started. Cozy here with our fireplace. Yestetday we went to Busch Gardens in Williamsburg...a 2.5 hr drive from our condo, but worth it. We had a great time. A little scary coming back up the mountain in the fog and rain! Jim and I were both white knuckling it!
Today is our last full day....we plan to rest in and visit the local wineries (again rainy.) May go and workout at the gym....had hopes of hiking and being outside...but Mother Nature had other plans.
Enjoying the southern cooking (boy do I love Southern food)...maybe too much!
Attaching a pic from our view. Hope everyone has a great Wednesday!

Beautiful view, Karen!! Sounds like you had a blast!
So far, I have decided to do NOTHING today.
I have to go in for an EKG that my doctor ordered because my BP was too low. Man! You guys all know how I hate going to the big building up the hill!!
Maybe I'll walk later...we'll just have to wait and see.
Chris0 -
Karen what a great view. Did you sample the wine? History is often full of horrors. We must never forget. Humans are capable of such atrocities.
Chris that man is spoiled. You and Patrick need to take a vacation. Let SIL realize just how much you do. And you could drive. No vertigo that way. You two deserve some adult time. You would have so much fun. Do it.
Worked out to KCM weights. It was great. I watched the weights Chris. I was good.

Shelley, summer is here, and I won't have Collin Duty for a month...until Sara goes back to work. I'll go over if Sara asks me but that's it for a while!!!
Kathy, have a blast, my friend!!!
Going for my EKG this morning...ugh... then I'm putting on my shoes and walking to the post office!!
It is pretty nice outside right now.
I'll be back later.
Chris1 -
Kathy we need lots of photos. Aruba looks beautiful. You have fun.
Chris I know you love that baby boy. But enjoy the break. Fingers crossed you have a great EKG.
I didn't work out today. Checked on possibly removing my larger fish. A vet clinic has a 500 gallon tank. They are looking for some large fish to join the 2 they have. We need to visit more to see if it will be a good fit. I don't want to quarantine them first. They can view them as often as they want for as long as they want also. And I could still see them.
Shelley0 -
Shelley, yeah...I kinda love both my Grandsons!!! Why are you taking the big fish to the vet?
Had to go to Kaiser today...blood work, took the little jar to the bathroom and new prescription. Seems my heart is beating to it's own song and not keeping time with the one the doc wants. I am bummed.
Chris0 -
Chris did doc have any suggestions? I am bummed with you. Hugs my friend. I might be giving them to the vet. Their aquarium is 500 gallons. Considering downsizing. Wanting less maintenance in my life. Not set in stone yet though. Has to be a good fit.
Did an upper body workout tonight. Just did my own thing.
