Must Be Monday


Good Morning!

This will be another short entry. It’s 4 am now and we’ve got school to do yet. We figure that will be worked on from 5 am until our shower at 6:15. Today there won’t be a Dr. M. meeting, because he’s still on break. He did schedule us for tomorrow at 9 am. Hmm, better write something to sister. Ok, that is done. She likes to avoid reading the notes though … so, we’ll remind her when we get in. But, at least I’ve covered myself. 

Yesterday was a pretty good day. It was very quiet though. Just a few IMs or chat first thing, then after 9 am, I was on my own for the day. I want you to know that I very much appreciate the occasional note saying that someone has left a message! AND, this morning we received a couple of snowflakes!!! Thanks Bon and Mal! Nothing better than being tickled first thing of the day!

We focused the day on getting things done. I can’t vouch too much for before 9:30 am, but I think we were preparing for the day or talking. That’s not such a bad thing on a Sunday. Most the rest of the day was spent on either reading or household. We had 150 pages to cover and every 10 minutes to the hour, we would pause to do something toward the household, and then be back at school on top of the hour. It worked pretty good. We taped what we were reading in review … these chapters had been highlighted before. It still took about 45 minutes to get through every 30 pages. We did this to keep us focused and as a memory aid.

Whoops … V finally woke up! And, we had to pause because of a kitty crossing. I think they like this idea of a clean computer desk!

Ahh, the cleaning part that was grand. I picked up everything except I have a couple 8 minute rounds in the master bedroom putting away clean clothes and making the bed. That’s not too bad. The place is much nicer. We still have to get the floors done too, but we might ask for help with that part. It is a very straining thing to do. But I think our friend might be impressed enough to help out there 

We also listened to a couple of football games yesterday. Neither the Bears or Eagles did so good. I thought the Eagles were going to do it, but that didn’t work out. They were saying the Bears had their second team out, because they were saving from injury they’re regular guys for the post-season games. I’ll buy that. Good practice for the second team anyway.

Whoops, here’s V again 

Hehehe he got to the part where we were even up on the treadmill! Oh, and that’s the other thing. We’re down 3.8 pounds this morning to 286.8. This might be the difference mostly in weighing self in middle of the day compared to first thing in the morning. AND, we discovered right before bed sugar free hot chocolate for a taste of the sweet we’ve been craving. Man! That’s just the ticket!

Yeeks! Running over time … we had some problems loading the updated DA list … shoot, shoot! Maybe we can figure it out after we get to work.  frowny face!
