End of A Weekend

Posted Sun Apr 27, 2008 in

I suppose I should scrabble around and find an image to post here. But, it’s late and I don’t feel like it.

It’s been a strange weekend. Yesterday we did our normal Saturday-morning thing. Wife went to her meeting, I drove to the Carson Armory (and lusted after a Bushy). I picked her up and we passed by Nevada Gun Exchange (nothing interesting there), then headed for the house. That’s when things went a different track than normal.

We went into the garage and retrieved the give-away-boxes. These boxes had things we determined to give away — so we drove to the Goodwill store and dropped them off. Then we headed back toward home, but stopped at Gold’s Gym in the shopping center about five minutes from home. I’ve determined to start training again. My doctor wants me to drop some weight and increase my physical activity. I want to feel better and have more strength and energy.

There’s only one way to get there. So, Wife and I signed up for a year. I printed off a set of Body for Life forms and got them organized. I have a fair idea of what my routine should look like. I also know what I should be eating. I’ve done this before — I know it works.

We drove to Minden and moved my office things to the back room. I decided to move to a quieter area where I can focus a little better. Moving the computers and my few things took a couple of hours.

This morning we went back to the garage and moved some boxes around. We took a load of empty electronics boxes and a few other things to the storage unit. We organized the garage a bit, had a bite of lunch, and then drove to Fleet Feet to buy Wife some decent shoes. The store was really busy, but Joy is, well, a joy and she managed to handle multiple customers in parallel. She’s very good at what she does and is the reason I took Wife there.

We brought her things home and I puttered around on the computer a bit. I managed to get some work done this weekend, despite all the other running around. This evening I watched The Searchers. It’s a dark western that is surprising given the nature of most westerns produced in the mid-1950’s. I really enjoyed it and it would be worth watching again. I just wish it was in stereo.

Now I’m about to give it up for the evening. I’m planning on an early start tomorrow with an upper-body workout first thing, then breakfast and work. I’m a little trepidated about the workout, but I’ve done this before, know what to do, and know I can do it.

So, here we go. Goodnight!
