Physically things are progressing. The knee is still off and on hurting randomly, mostly on staircases and after I've been sitting for a long time. Otherwise I am fine and really looking forward to getting back into working out at Curves next week. No post-walk letdown exhaustion this time. Probably because I didn't do the... Continue Reading →
Anxiety!
I normally consider myself pretty calm and levelheaded. Most of my close friends have described me that way anyway! However, I realize that towards the end of last week I became quite cranky and snippy (particularly to Marcus and my parents). Then I looked at the week I was facing. Saturday was Alex's big game...

Testing my flexibility
This has been a weekend of false starts and changes in plans.First it was the Friday night phone call after football practice to let me know that the game Sat am was cancelled. The fire near Palm Springs caused air quality in the northern parts of the league to be unhealthy. Therefore, the older teams... Continue Reading →
Having fun with a phone solicitor
My current lender called me tonight about re-financing my mortgage. He said that he "had my file and base on his analysis he could lower my payments by $300/mo." Now, given that I have a 30 year fixed rate mortgage with the first 10 years interest only payments (my plan being to ride out the... Continue Reading →
Life betwixt & between the floors
Work - auditors are still here so that hangs in the air and occasionally means requests for documents, but they have otherwise been strangely quiet. With year end essentially completed I enter my "slow" time. I do have a large project looming over me, but it is truly so overwhelming and data intensive that I... Continue Reading →

Friday already?
Let's see, in the month of August Little Man has 22 football practices scheduled. I have been responsible for getting him there 17 times. Already, as in, today will be number 17. His dad will take him the last three next week. Which means that I've had 17 weekdays out of 19 this month where... Continue Reading →
Rat season!
The battle for my house has begun anew. Last year, tehnically the rats won a small victory since they establish residence within the walls of my house (in my hall closet) and between my unit and my neighbor's (its a duplex). We could hear them scampering on our rooftops at night. We found rat droppings... Continue Reading →
It’s Monday
While getting new front tires on Saturday, Alex and I met a former Padre pitcher, Andy Ashby. Of course I am just insane enough to actually recognize him 🙂 But he was totally cool, loves talking to fans and signed an autograph for Alex. He retired after spring training this year and is enjoying being... Continue Reading →
