this and that

I am writing this from my work computer. I could just leave but discovered I could access this here. I didn't want this blog to be just a diary of facts, but I am not good at writing down feelings. I should work on that, maybe. I don't have a theme except this is my life. I don't think anyone is reading it (except for you, dear Ellen!) I have all kinds of thoughts in my head but not usually when it is convenient to write.

I am sticking with my fitness routine and am really into it now. I did a 5k last Saturday and finished in 33 minutes. I am suspicious that it was only 3 miles, not 3.1. So I signed up for another one this coming Saturday and we will see. It is in Sugarland and I will visit Hannah afterward. I am running more and continuing to train for the women only half marathon on Dec 11. And have been busy recruiting like-minded friends to do the Dirty Girl Mud Run in March. Fun!

I am accumulating shawls that I have crocheted. I intend to give them away but have a hard time with just giving them to someone to give to someone I don't know. I have crocheted 10 shawls in the last year since Mother died. And I knitted a scarf.

I finally paid someone else to clean my house, and it was so worth the money. It took 2 people 7 hours to dust and vaccuum and deep clean the crud out of the bathrooms etc. I didn't think it was that dirty but I guess it was. I plan to have it cleaned every 2 weeks. I hope to catch up on other stuff, whatever that may be.

I need to catch up with my kids. I haven't talked much to the 3 oldest in a while. And figure out Thanksgiving. Sigh.
