Winding Down

Yes, I went to the fitness center. I only did 30 minutes. 15 on the treadmill and 15 on the stationary bike. It was a good workout. Now the electric blanket is warming up the bed into which I will soon crawl. You all have a good night. Unless I don’t like you, then I hope the bed bugs do bite.

And one more thing – Tina’s home!!!!!!!!!!

 

With Time to Spare!

I finished all assignments due for my two classes today. I’m taking Tina to her procedure tomorrow morning so I’ll bring my books with for next week’s assignments and readings. Now it’s time for me to go to bed

A Thank You Card

This is the card made by the autistic son on one of Tina’s coworkers. It was his way of thanking us for borrowing them the Marvel movies. It’s sweet and wonderful.

Exactly what Tina needs to wake her up in the morning.

Monday Morning

I’m enjoying my morning coffee, getting ready to pour mug number two. After I finish that I’m going to head out the door for a run. It’s a beautiful, bright sky at the moment. There’s not much of a breeze, which I prefer when I go running.

I’ve already given the cats their morning treat, and let Freddy upstairs to snuggle with Tina, who’s sleeping in. I don’t blame her. I almost stayed in bed longer. However, I do want to get out and run. Despite the irritation to my Achilles tendons, I enjoy running. I also enjoy the benefits derived from my running. I just have to routinely ice my tendons and heels after I run.

Anyway, I’ve emptied my mug. I’m going to go get it re-filled and get ready for my run. You all have a great day.

Well, except for some of you. I’d rather you have a miserable day. Not because that’s what I want for you, but because that’s what you want for you. And I’m a fan of you getting what you want.

Celebration!

Tina and myself will be going off to Brainerd soon to celebrate the birthdays of all three of her grand-cridders. None of them actually have a birthday today. This day is roughly in the middle of all their birthdays. Tina, being a good grandmother, bought these squirt guns that are more like giant plastic syringes without the needles. You suck up water from a bucket like its a syringe, then shoot the water out with a strong push. Supposedly you can shoot the water 30 feet. They were a buck a piece. She bought 15 of them. That’ll keep the kiddos happy for the day.

Lousy Birthday

Poor Tina. She’s stuck along side the road between McGregor, MN and Aikin, MN. She blew a tire on the way to check out locations with her daughter for her daughter’s upcoming wedding. It’s breaking my heart because I have to work and I don’t have any vacation time yet. Thankfully she has roadside assistance. Unfortunately, it’s pouring rain where she’s at.

Worst thing of all? It’s her birthday. I’ll be buying her new tires for a gift.

Tina Is Up!

Okay, I managed to get in a run, and make me some breakfast before Tina got out of bed. She’s having her morning coffee and once awake is going to start cleaning. As we have two different approaches to cleaning, it’s best I get out of the house and out of her way. She bulldozes through cleaning where as I take many breaks.

We compromise though. I’ll do the laundry later on today after she’s done her cleaning. So, I’m going to take my MacBook Air, head to Beaner’s Central, and do classwork. Well, first I have to finish breakfast, and take a shower.

Yup!

And she’s currently sleeping soundly on the couch.

Saturday At Como Park With Tina

Well, where do I start? How about with simple pictures?
