Three weeks now and going strong on the TreadMill. Okay, not strong today, but at least I am going. I have up’d it to a 13% grade at a speed of 3.5 mph for 1.5 miles. I do slow down the last quarter of a mile tho as I am tired by then. However, today after I finished, I just felt like taking a nice long nap! I cant shake this ‘need a nap now’ feeling. Good thing it is my short day at work. but, the house is a mess so I need to go home and clean, wash clothing, dishes, cook dinner and babysit the cats outside so they dont run away. *sigh* I really need a weekend of nothingness!

A few months ago I decided that I wanted a change in the kitchen. Nothing major, just to re-surface my cabinettes. However, I never knew just how much work this would be, how time consuming and how much of pain it would be! The goopy stain removing stuff really smells bad and I am sure its not that great for my health, I hope I wont need a Blue Advantage health plan when I am done. Here is a pic of the original color; boring! And here is a pic of what I have done so far. I am about half way done. It is a very green green if you cant tell! I drastic change, but I do like it!

Good Grief I am glad it is Friday. I am exhausted! I dont think I slept a wink last night. The many animals in our house were way to active.
The Gerbils got into a big fight, there was blood all over the yellow-ish one. So I had to seperated them in different cages! They seemed okay this morning, but its like really wierd; they have been together forever…
The Cats were throwing up all over the place. I sleep in a loft so can hear them hacking away. It sounds very loud when one is trying to sleep.
And – The fish tank water pump kinda died. We fixed it up and its fine now, but I think this happened a couple weeks ago and me being me, just figured it out last night!
Right now I could go for some relaxation at any warm Outer Banks rentals place. It getting cold and rainy here again and when that happens I get grumpy. errrrr.

Yesterday I decided last minute, that I would take today off work. It was a good decision for sure.
Got lots done outside and I love being outside. I will do anything to be outside. Today it was digging up dirt, fixing sprinklers, fixing my small fence by the A/C, and making Lemon-Macademia Bread. Oh yeah, I even had time to take the Cats outside. Porter and Chloe have to have constant attention when they are outside cuz the have never been outside. Ever.
So today I babysat them, well okay, more like chasing them around the yard! I wont be need any diet pill that works, as I sure got my exercise for today. They finally tired out and Porter rested a bit. Chloe was another story tho, she never rests! I had to keep dragging her to the back yard.
All in All, a Great Day ! ! !

When the Sun comes out, we get busy. It was finally a sunny weekend and it really brightened all our spirits out here. But it sure made for a busy weekend too! We cleaned the garage, mowed the lawn, bought manuer (did I spell that right?) and mulch for the dirt, had a B-Day party and eGads so much more that I am pretty much exhausted.
Oh and I dropped a can of Frozen OJ on my big toe. Gosh it really hurts and I can bearly walk! One Black and Blue toe for me for a while I guess. ugh.
Next weekend will will dig up the dirt and get it ready for flowers and a small garden. The wireless security systems up and running and this coming week looks nice and sunny too!
I cant wait to get outside some more, wee hee ! !
