Good Afternoon, FS Warriors! I know I haven't posted as often as is typical of me, but I've been kind of preoccupied. The reality of retirement is setting in, and I find myself wishing it was even sooner, though I know I am better off waiting until the end of the year, especially for tax purposes - because the incentive then won't be paid until next year.
I ordered the rock to encapsulate the drain pipe in the downstairs room, before I mix and pour the conrete for the floor perimeter. Then the floor should stay dry forever and ever, and I can work on installing the endless pool. I have had that thing in wooden crates out in the gym for over 2 years. I just didn't want to install it in a room where there was water leaking in. The older I get, the more I should balance the running with the swimming. At least, that's what I'm thinking.
Went for a pretty vigorous 30 minute walk today at lunchtime. First time for that in a long time. Made me remember how taxing a vigorous 30 minute walk can be. Haha! I know the bottoms of my feet were feeling a little tender, so I'm thinking I had better start bringing my running shoes to work again. It was a beautiful day today, with a slight breeze coming off of the river. I could have stayed out there all day long - but sitting on a bench, of course! There were some pretty fat squirrels along the way - the 4 legged variety - although I did run into some pretty squirrely people, but they weren't all that fat.
Yesterday was the Village Board meeting - but it was without me. Yay! I had a stress free and very relaxing evening. A little spaghetti (OK, a lot of spaghetti) and a glass of red wine. I know, but who eats just a little spaghetti, anyway? I have to work on that. It's starting to get dark way too early already. I need to get my lighting installed out in the gym/garage, so it isn't so gloomy and demotivating to go out there and work. Looks like a Bella Lagosse movie when the shadows from the flying bats are dancing on the walls. I don't want to get rid of them, because they do a fine job of keeping the mosquito population down, but if I have better lighting in there, they will play somewhere else.
DW has come down with something again, and has been deathly ill for the last few days. She says she is feeling somewhat better this morning, but went back to bed. of course, that is about 5 this morning, so most of you wouldn't stay up anyway, at that hour, if you didn't have a reason to be up. Anyway, we will see. I hope I don't get what she has, but honestly, I don't know what she has. Maybe the flu, but I don't think it's that bad. Who knows!
OK, going to get off of here. I know they are paying me to get out of here, but as long as they are paying me, I ought to get some work done. Here's hoping you all are having a great day. Have a great evening as well. Toodles!
