It's supposed to be near 90 by the end of this weekend! So we celebrated the wonderful weather we had in April, cursed the cold (and snow) that came in early May and not I'm going to start complaining about the heat and humidity! All in the span of one month! Uff da - dats Minnesoooooota fer ya!
My friend/neighbor Heidi has been stopping by to grab me when she is out on her walks. She measured one trail and it's 2.2 miles from her house (I chose to add .10 of a mile for me to get home from her house to mine). So far I've walked the 2.3 twice. This in addition to my sessions at the gym. While the walking does do a bit of a job on my knees, I feel it is helping strengthen my leg muscles. This is a good thing! It will help with my endurance for walking in Seattle at the end of June and also for the Relay for Life at the end of July (where I just know it will be hot and humid and require much whining on my part).
Other than the weather, walking and whining - I've been spending time with friends and family! Lots of dinners and lunch dates and I haven't always made the best choices! Example: yesterday an impromtu call from Carlene to join her and Nona for a late lunch at Baker's Square (** FREE PIE WEDNESDAYS **). Who could resist? Not me. I had a slice of my favorite strawberry/rhubarb! I guess it's better than some of the cream pies I could have chosen?
Today I am going to prepare to buy back my leased car from the dealer. I still don't have a job and so I am pretty sure no one in their right mind will give me a loan for a new car, so this is the alternative. Hopefully this car will provide me with many, many years of service and no car payments! If things get real bad, it may become my "home". But let's pray it doesn't come to that.
So there you go! That's my week in a nutshell. The weekend looks great (except for that hot and humid weather to whine about). I am attending a birthday party for my friends husband who is turning 80 (him, not her). No real big plans beyond that!
