Carla’s Thoughts

I’ve neglected to post all week long and it has been a long week.  I started my personal trainer this week, Monday and by Tuesday I could hardly walk.  Monday I put my body through the ringer.  I Jazzercised, personal trainer, bowled three games in an hour (makeup) and then walked 3.63 miles.  EGADS!  I was so sore and then Tuesday we worked the upper half and so I was sore all over.  I opted not to bowl on Wednesday or go on the walk on Thursday.  I did, however, on Thursday have an hour and a half long massage then massage for a total of three hours of bliss.  Hurray for me! 

We didn’t get to go to the lake this weekend as we had a full day in town on Saturday.  The great nephew had a 4 year old birthday complete with a jupiter jump and Thomas the Train so we had to attend (I’m so glad my kids are grown).  Then we attended a couples bridal shower of which we were co-hosts.  It was fun but R was confused as this was his first bridal shower (totally a guy).  While all of this is going on we are also granddog sitting for Mondo.  He is a mostly black lab mix and a real sweetheart.  There is a reason we have not replaced our pets as they have passed on and this is no different.  I LOVE animals and really miss my little kitties but doggies are a lot of work and demand a lot of attention.  Mondo is only about 11 months old and is so very good and has NEVER messed in the house (thank goodness) but you still have to scratch and pat and feed and potty and talk baby talk to and worry about.  Yesterday afternoon I threw the frisbie in the backyard for him and I remembered he turned his foot while running for it but didn’t give another thought until last night when we came home.  He was walking around with his foot in the air and crying and whimpering.  I was almost distraught that I could have damaged the little guy and while in my care.  This caused me to question how I would do with a grandkid whenever that time may come and whether Bri would be okay with it.  She does have her issues with me and I never know when she will be upset with me.  She is 28 years old and still can look down on me and condescend in a manner that really pisses me off.  Back to Mondo, this morning he got up and was running after the squirrels with no problem and no limp…thank goodness.

I guess I’ll get back to the title of the blog, Weekend in waiting.  Tuesday I will have my first colonoscopy.  I’m a little tentative about it but I know it has to be done so I wait until tomorrow when I begin the “cleansing” process.  I really don’t look forward to that part of the procedure.  The actual colonoscopy thing is a no brainer but I don’t relish drinking the goop I have to ingest.  Yuck! 

Oh…and on another note:  I received a jury notice on Saturday so I have my first go at jury duty.
