Wake-up Wednesday
| Wed, 09-29-2004 - 8:15am |
Hey, where is everybody? No words of wisdom from me this morning. I'll leave those to anyone able to think profound thoughts at this time of the morning. ;-)
It took me 4 tries over a period of several hours to read all of the Tuesday thread, but I did it. It felt like quite an accomplishment after all that effort.
No real plans for the day yet. I'll check in later. Just wanted to get a Wednesday thread going.
Oh, I did hear something funny from my mom:
My sister, Cheryl, said the other day she fussed at Andie (her

I've been awake for a long time already. In fact early enough to get 2 loads of laundry done,my laundry put away, snacks done for work, dishwasher unloaded, reloaded, did morning cup of yoga, cleaned up the kitchen got 2 people out the door for work and now I'm ready for a nap unfortunately in a few minutes I'll be headed out the door for the paying job.
Lots of rain and wind since yesterday afternoon but is supposed to be cleared out today and a nice day headed our way for tomorrow. Lunch hour will be spent at the doctors office hopefully with test results in hand. I'm supposed to be meeting with my literacy student this evening, hope I don't fall asleep on the library table!
Hope you all enjoy a wonderful Wednesday!

Learned from the news last night that a tornado touched down in a small town north of here, as well as the other two towns (one east, one west). These people lost everything they ever had, one death. Red Cross has set up an emergency line, I'm going call to see what basics these people need. They're starting over from underwear and socks, and knowing where the thing touched down, these people can least afford to start over.
Thinking of taking a run here shortly, aiming for around 3 miles and running at a harder pace again. I want to get back to distance the week before Asheville, because the week after is the Race that I first ran. I'm aiming to finish under a 10-minute mile this time. Also need to pick a few things up at the store - AF caught me off guard, and I was about to do laundry only to see that I've run out of detergent! Tsk, tsk. So... looks like things are getting back to normal around here, LOL!

No deep thoughts here - just recovering from the commute. Funny how a few raindrops turn drivers into subhuman idiots! Well, bad driving is pretty much the norm around here, but the rain makes it that much more interesting.
Jeanne is still hanging around. The forecasters got it wrong; it rained all day and all night, and it's still pouring this morning. It IS cooler, though; I'm going to perform a sun dance later for a perfect fall day.
My head is still chock full and stuffed. Both of us got very little sleep last night - DH now has this cold/flu/whatever, and he got hit harder with it than I did (he sneezed pretty much the whole night through). The upside is that he usually recovers faster than I do. So, by the weekend we should both be closer to what goes for normal.
On my agenda - pedicure tonight so my tootsies will look nice in my very open dressy shoes. Maybe a cardio treadmill trot, maybe - if by some miracle the sun breaks through -a walk at lunchtime.
Rhonda - is that psychology Andie is learning, or just plain 2-YO manipulation? I hope she didn't see your niece laughing (as I'm sure she did).
Lori - Big fat hugs to you this morning. That's all.
Susan - Hope the doctor comes through for you today with a prompt report of something you can deal with, or of absolutely nothing at all.
Hope you all have a great day!

Words of Wisdom for a Wet Wednesday: Don't be afraid to wear your galoshes or use an umbrella in the rain. I can't believe that not a single person I saw this morning bringing their children to school had an umbrella, nor the children either. And they wonder why their kids catch colds???
Have a great day,
Lee Ann

I am going to flush my system for the next couple of days, lots of liquids and vegies. Then I am going to go back to a sensible planned eating plan. I'm busy tonight so I've already been up for my walk before work. When I go home for lunch today I will take my puppies for a little walk instead of staying in the house for an hour eating!!
Thanks for being here.

I can't watch intense things before bed; it really interferes with my abiity to fall to sleep. That's why I had to stop watching ER years ago (I share Patty's healthy obsession with George, I just couldn't indulge while he was on the show). I don't even watch the late news anymore.
As I came to work this morning, I saw a lot of what you mentioned - people of all ages running around without raingear. I can understand not having galoshes, but not even a basic raincoat or fold-up umbrella? I use an umbrella when I go out to pick up the newspapers from the front walkway/lawn/sidewalk (wherever they end up) on rainy mornings. I think I'll melt...

I don't watch any of the CSI series for that reason, and also because it's too Hollywood after watching the real thing for well over a year - they blow real life investigative protocol right out of the water!

I remember you once mentioning watching "Animal Precinct" on Animal Planet as a guilty pleasure, for lack of a better term. I have to tell you, I've spent many an evening awake after that program sobbing my heart out over how some people mistreat their pets. How cruel humans can sometimes be amazes me.
Anyway, I guess that's the extent of my deepest thoughts for the day...Back to the grindstone...
