Hi fit babes! I'm sorry I've not been around but my life has been consumed with yard max! And if I'm not doing that, I'm working or dealing with doggies. I have found myself rather exhausted from it all!
Ronne, I would love to come to Europe this year where it's all happening! But as you know, yard max and Riley are keeping me right at home. Sigh. What is it you do for work? You have been really busy for quite a while now! I too did not care for the June rotation but I like July's. Whether I can fit it in though is another matter!
Mary, I hope you are having a fantastic time in Europe!! And I agree you need a better travel agent next time.
Hi Lisa! I hope things have cleared up for DH and he gets to do things his way. A friend of mine retired last year and I was shocked at all of the misinformation she was given in planning it. People retire from the agency every year! But that's government for you, right? I don't know how I would feel if I came close to a hawk like you did. A few years ago I was taking Basil for a walk on a state building campus after work and we came a across a blue heron sitting in a tree looking at the pond of koi fish. The bird was bigger than Basil and stayed very still. Kinda freaked me out a little!
Murphy, I hope all is well and you aren't being troubled by any aches and pains! I'm glad your eye is better too! Last year, DH tore his retina and we didn't even know it until he went to the eye doctor because his eye was bothering him. He got flashes of bright light which is a sure sign of a detached retina. Don't let that happen to you!
Jody, I believe the gender of cats can be confusing. My friend adopted a stray that she thought was female and she was male. So Rosie became Rosebud. Lola is the perfect name for your mom's cat! That was a pretty awesome outdoor workout you did, and then did again! Yay you! And congratulations on getting the TSA pre-check! There's never any line for that when I go to the airport. Now, just what is biohacking for your cholesterol? LOL! I wanna try it! You can tell me after you get back from your trip.
Let's see. I went to CA in late May and met up with my friend of 40+ years for a little getaway. We had so much fun! We ate all the wrong foods, drank more than we should, hiked, got manis and pedis and even had a dance party. And we stayed at her family's cabin so it was private, and cheap with the cost being 0!
Riley started marking in the house so we got him neutered as soon as we could after that. He was conehead again and we realized, after we saw him running around the house the next day with it on at 100 mph, that we are going to put his eye surgery off for as long as possible. He is supposed to rest after the surgery and he needs some maturity before he will do that. Fortunately, his vision had not worsened as of May so we'll see the eye Dr. again in Sept. We don't see a difference either. Whew!
I applied and interviewed for yet another promotional position in June. Same type of position as the 2 previous ones I interviewed for. But this time I made it to the second round! Please think good thoughts for me on July 9th when I go for my second interview. I REALLY want this job!
So even though Riley is 18 lbs. now and almost as tall as Basil, he's still all puppy so we can't really take him anywhere! That's what pushed us into yard max full speed. We just want it DONE now. We've been doing clean up, creating paths, planting trees and shrubs, weed pulling and designing a retaining wall we are building ourselves behind the driveway and down by the side of the house. We also bought 3 big Japanese maples to add color, especially in the fall. And yes Lisa and Murphy! I definitely have a sore and stiff neck, sore low back and DOMS. It's all been quite the workout! I have fit in Cathe workouts when I can but I am not doing any rotations now, just winging it.
Happy 4th of July to you Yanks! Is this a Bank Holiday for you today Ronne? Our less than desirable neighbors have been lighting off fireworks all day, since shortly after 8 a.m.! Fortunately, neither doggie gets upset by them. I'm very grateful!
Talk to you sooner than later fit babes! (That is my plan anyway!) Tracy
