Thursday's Tiredness

I woke up this morning and actually felt pretty good...unfortunately it did not last. After breakfast and reading the paper and mail, I decided that I would go for a walk. My side was hurting a little again, but I wanted to get a walk in if for no other reason than I did not want to get out of the habit of walking every day.

I only walked for a little over a half of an hour, short of my goal of at least forty-five minutes of walking or about four miles. As I was walking I noticed that my side was hurting more than it had when I first got up. I was not worse from walking, but just really annoying.

When I got home I went out to the back yard and worked on the roses and dig out some more tree suckers. It has become a daily task to dig up tree suckers. I do not understand how they can grow so fast, almost overnight they appear and they are a couple inches tall!

After working outside for a while I decided that I would go in and take a nap. I actually went upstairs and lay down on the bed instead of just falling asleep in my easy chair. Shortly after I fell asleep Andrea, Brandon and Toni stopped by for a while, I had only been asleep for a short while when Kathleen shut a door and woke me up other wise I probably would have slept through their visit.

So after about five minutes I awoke enough to go downstairs, but no sooner did I get downstairs when I realized that I had not put my glasses on, so I had to go back upstairs and get them. After I got settled in my chair I got to hold Brandon for a while...he is really getting big!

We had to leave the house at 1600 because we had a financial planning class with our financial advisors over in Beaverton. With traffic being bad at that time we wanted to leave so that we would have plenty of time to get there by 1700. We made it with a few minutes to spare.

After the class we stopped at Trader Joe's to pick up a few items and that took about an hour. We finally got home a little after 1900. Kathleen used the potatoes from last night and made a potato salad, we had the ham from last night ant the cold slaw and macaroni salad as well.

Well, I tried to take a nap today, but really did not get much sleep, I do not feel too bad for not having a nap, but I really did not do much today either. I think that it is time to just say good night.
