Gym life…

I went back to the gym on Saturday and worked out for a bit. I have started taking a small notebook with me so that I can record each day what I do while I’m there. I am trying to track the machines I use, how much weight and reps for each machine, and my time and distance on the treadmill. I am also tracking my weight but just for the reason of knowing it more than seeing it go up or down. Not that anyone really wants to see their weight go up, me included, but it wouldn’t hurt either I’m sure. Plus if I am gaining muscles then I should be putting on weight since muscles weigh more than fat.

We also went back to the gym yesterday and once again Big Monkey’s shift did not show up before we left. We drove by the station so that Little Monkey could see him and say hi. Today we all went to the gym together and worked out. While we were there, today’s on duty guys did come in to work out. Little Monkey seems to be having fun playing with the other kids in the childcare room too. And when I went to pick him up I asked him to pick up a couple of toys. He picked up a toy and put it in the toybox. I told him thanks for helping out. He then proceeded to pick up another toy and then pull out all the toys that were under the picnic table and put them away too. We finally got him to stop even though he had almost picked up all the toys. He is a good little helper when he wants to be. While we were at the gym today I remembered that there is a class on Tuesday nights that I wanted to try out. Looks like maybe next week I’ll try and go because I was not going to go back again tonight for yet another workout. (Plus we spent a most of the afternoon in the backyard trimming trees. We have a HUGE pile for the yard waste guys to pick up tomorrow. It was quite a project getting everything trimmed, cut down to bundling size, bundled and then carry around front.)

An Email from HP

So today I was excited to see an email in my inbox from HP. I thought that this would be a great email explaining what they found was wrong with my computer and that they were shipping it back. It was scheduled to be back in my hands on Friday. Well quite sadly, this is not what the email said. In fact it was just about the opposite. It said that they were not sure that it would make it back to me by the original estimated delivery date. They did say that if it was not going to be here by then that someone from HP would try and contact me to let me know what was going on. I’m hanging on to the small ray of hope that it will still make it back on Friday and be in much better shape than when it left. Here’s hoping!

Free Ice Cream Day

Since we do not have a Ben and Jerry’s close by that is offering Free Cone Day….I urge you to go to your local Ben and Jerry’s and get your free Ice Cream Cone. This is one problem with living in the middle of nowhere…no Ben and Jerry’s. Not that we would frequent the establishment, but we would go every once in a while and we would definitely go for Free Cone Day! So go enjoy your Ice Cream and feel bad for us that we are not doing the same.

Check out Ben and Jerry’s Website to find a location near you that is having the event.
