Barely a start
Good morning. This is me starting with another slightly frustrating morning. It started good, in that I took my shower and got dressed right away when I woke up at 5 am, but, again we’re messing with the iPod and iTunes. Had trouble getting it to sync, and now it is, but it’s taking everything including the kitchen sink. I really have to go through iTunes and take out the stuff I don’t want. It seems to be downloading about 176 files. Most seems to be the stuff I want, but there’s a lot of fluff. I’m not sure why it started from scratch. I can’t imagine what’s going to happen if it gets full and then has to go through all this syncing. Happy though that it’s now doing my Coldplay … Pshwoo … that be a shame.Ok, back used the washroom up to 140 hmm, maybe sit this out it’s going pretty fast? I don’t know … you didn’t take medicine and need more coffee ya know? Hmm, remember videos take time to load. I think that after we hear them we’re not going to want them all selected. I would hope you don’t have to choose that manually each time we plug her in? That be terrible. Think we’re going to listen to Barack speak today while we’re in the gym. We downloaded his book and started to listen to it last night. We listened for a long time, but then succumbed finally to sleep. Remember Rich taking the iPod from me while just barely opening my eyes.
One of the things we got accomplished yesterday was taking a 99 cent application that has ambient music on it. We’re listening to the sounds of streams now. There’s about 50-60 things you can listen to. It’s really nice to have the background music on. We had to turn it down fairly low, but it’s doing a very good job of helping me to concentrate. It takes any distracting sounds away and just plays continuously a nice sure pleasant sound. I think I had it tuned to play only for 1 hour 15 minutes or so. I’m not sure … but wanted to see if it would indeed turn itself off.
Another something that I did this morning was to make myself a schedule right away and get it to the MS Outlook program. Hopefully that’s one of the things that will be downloading now. Hmm, don’t like that so much … the little stuff I have on it now takes up almost 3/10’s of my space - will have to get a handle on that. The largest majority of stuff is video. Maybe we’ll take a look at that later.
Hmm, just took my medicine, had some grapes for breakfast and got some coffee. We made sure that our new schedule was up and so all that worked out. And, we changed our ambiance from a stream to a creek. It’s still the sound of water, but it’s quieter. Maybe later on we’ll listen again to a shower or rain. There are plenty of other things too. It will be fun learning about how each one of them helps under one circumstance or another. I’m going to try it especially when I’m with Group 1. It will really help calm things down.
We’ve got now only about a half an hour before we’d scheduled to go check in with fuzzy face. It’s 7:15 am. I want him to have all the sleep he wants, but I also know that he likes watching his 8 – 9:30 am Sunday morning show and he can be snuggled too if I get into the bedroom 15-20 minutes before he wakes up. I think where I’m the kind that usually gets up right away, Rich likes to lounge in bed where he can appreciate the warm fuzzy feelings. Always nice to be woken up with a backrub or a good clean snuggle.
We’ll see.
Yesterday was I think pretty good, but I’m still left with plenty that’s not getting done. What did get done was our trip to the gym. We decided to do the swimming, because we were eager to find out if our new swimming suit was going to work out.
Man-o-man … it worked like a charm. There was not one ounce of feeling bad because we thought we might slip out of the suit. We were held snuggly, but felt we had room to move about. The suit was like a second skin in that it moved and breathed with us.
For the first time since we started we were able to slip into the water underneath the surface. For about a dozen turns at the far end, we’d finish the last 15-20 feet under water. It felt heavenly. I’m sooooo glad we got the suit. We had to tell Rich last night how much it cost because he was asking. We told him the truth about putting rush delivery charge of $13 on it and there was about $6 tax, and that we’d gotten about $8 credit, but the whole thing still came to about $98. He said … for a swimming suit? And, then we had to remind him of how good the swimming suit was. We had given him a viewing of it – when we modeled for him the first night. He thought the same thing that we did that it was very slenderizing. It’s about 20% spandex so it holds things in a little. AND, the skirt part just covers that flabby thing that’s happening as I lose weight on my thighs, but it’s not loose like the other, so it doesn’t hang down to my knees as I’m getting out of the pool. Instead it drapes nicely just over the top of my thighs. I really love the suit. I think it makes my bust look just right too. Not too big, not too small.
WooHOO!! For THAT!
