Fatiguing Friday

Well this morning it was much cooler out and it looked more like a morning at the coast except it did not have the morning mist. Since it was cooler this morning I decided that I would go for my morning walk a little later and have breakfast and read the paper first.

I did go out and water the fuchsia and get the paper before I made my bowl of shredded wheat, banana and raisins and since we got a case of soy milk yesterday at Costco I was able to use that on my shredded wheat.


After emptying the dishwasher, I sat down and read the paper, then just as I was getting ready to leave for my walk, the mailman pulled up, so I went out to get the mail. After bringing the mail into the house I went for my walk.

I have been trying to walk for about forty-five minutes a day or three and a half miles. My back has not been hurting as much as the week has progressed and I kind of think that the walking does help.

After arriving home and cooling down a little I sat down and opened the mail. There was not a lot of anything important other than the verification of my stock buys. I mentioned to Kathleen to see if she still wanted to go to IKEA today and she said yes, so I suggested that we go as early as possible so that it would not be too late when we finished.

Some where along the way she discovered that she had a book or two that was overdue at the library; I never did understand her system of keeping track of what she has checked out. So about 1430 we finally got out of here and off to the library and then to IKEA. After walking around for a couple hours of walking around, we decided to stop by the food court and get something to eat.

I got a salmon plate with a couple baby red potatoes and some vegetables. Kathleen got the meatball plate. The salmon was pretty good, it was not as good as fresh salmon, but it was not all that bad.


With some food in our bellies we were ready for the first floor, there was not as much to look at on the first floor, most of it was the warehouse space for the things on the second floor. Lots of stuff and we were lucky to get out of there for under a hundred dollars.

Well, since we ate around 1600 we probably are not going to have dinner tonight, maybe a big dessert or something later on, right now I just want to put my feet up and let my piggies cool off. There is something about walking on concrete for several hours that really make them squeal.

I am not sure how I use to do that for ten hours a day at Boeing for six or so day a week when I was in management. Maybe that is why my feet grew a couple sizes during that period of time. Well, I am too tired to think of anything else to say tonight except I think Alyssa now holds the record for comments on her latest blog at last count I think that it had reached over a dozen. On that note, I think that I will just say good night!
