58 degrees.....or 15 Celsius. Thats the temperature in this house in the mornings when I get up. I am definitely doing my part to save natural gas. I keep the furnace turned off until it hits the fifties Fahrenheit. Then I turn it on until it heats up to 69 then turn it off again. It is definitely off more than on. My bill should be super good this month!
It seems I am leaving again. I catch the new Ebus on Monday morning for Vancouver. Sunday I take Wrangle up to the kennel. I am not going to see him for three weeks! At least I know he will be having fun up there.
In Vancouver I will be grand kitty sitting and grand molly sitting. And I decided not to take my jeep. Its already snowing outside. After that terrible drive to Cache Creek last year I am left with the heebee geebees about driving in snow. Going down would probably be okay but you never know what's going to happen while I am down there. Everybody always says 'take the canyon' but I have driven that canyon a hundred times in years past and it can be just as scary as the Coque. I hate to be such a weenie!
I babysat today!!!! Jojo had a bank appointment. She was contemplating taking the little ones with her just to speed the bank people up!! Hahaha!! Would probably work too. But it gave me the opportunity to catch up with them. I never did see Stirling...he was napping the whole time I was there. But Ainsley kept me hopping!
I went to the gym. Thats actually pretty big news. I don't do gyms. But I have been waking up super early, my fave time to go, and heading down.
Years ago when the kids were teens, I would wake them and Bill up at five am. We would have coffee and get our gym duds on and hit the gym, at 5:30 when it opened. We had it to ourselves. The kids were surprisingly cooperative and cheerful about it. There is a pretty special feeling about shivering and yawning and hitting the gym when its pitch dark outside. It would be dark when we drove home an hour later too. We did that for most of a year.
But I find this gym, or at least what I am doing in it, relaxing. I sit back on a bike, pedal like crazy and watch the news. I kind of like it! I also spend a wee while on the treadmill. Not liking that so much. I am just wondering if it would be bad to take in a cup of coffee with me. Think they would kick me out? Possibly not. I think I will try! I will report back.
Nothing else to report. Like I said I lead a very boring life. TTYL
SOMETHING I SEE EVERYDAY: I'm thinking.
I'm still thinking. I know. I am grateful for my laptop. It is the doorway to a wonderful world. I can visit with distant cousins. I can see funny things my kids post. I can peruse through 65,000 plus photos I have taken (yes, 65,000). I can write this blog. I can play solitaire and relax. I can get phone calls from Monte on it. I can look up ailments...even if it always tells me I am dying. I love and am very grateful for my lappy!
