I'm Baaack!!

Did you miss me??  :)

I had a great time with my friend, Cindy, in Ottawa!

I arrived on Thursday afternoon.  I left my house at 8 am and got to her place at about 5 pm.  Why is traveling so tiring when you are sitting for most of the time?

On Friday, I don't think we did much except go to a great Steven Curtis Chapman concert.  (The lights were not too much of an issue for me).

On Saturday, we prayed together in a beautiful park, met up with my Dad's cousin for brunch, went on a short walk and then went to a lovely wedding shower in the evening.

Susan and I outside the restaurant we went to-Never Too Latte. 

On Sunday we worshiped at church together.

Both of us grabbed an afternoon nap most days and generally had a great time together!

I am so grateful to God for the friendship I have with her!!  He has nourished and protected our relationship over the course of 23 years!  We have both had some incredible highs and lows during that time and it is as if God made this friendship bloom especially for those times.  When things are going really well, or very challenging, we both turn to each other either to share the joy or ask for advice and prayers.

As far as my daily goals, I don't think I missed a meal!  Although the traveling days were a bit off, but I did eat.  I don't think I drank as much coffee.  BUT I did not do my exercises for those 5 days.

Can you believe that was my first overnight trip since Gerry and I have been married?  No trips by myself since 1989!!!   That is crazy!

The walker made it SO much easier than the cane!  Now when I think of going on holidays, walking anywhere, going out, I am not anxious or anything.  Just amazing.

MAJOR Slippage!!

Gerry and Trina and I got brand new phones last night.  Our first smartphones!  I will move all my Palm functions to it.  My Palm is dying.  Trina got a new-er Blackberry and loves it.  Traci wishes she could have one just like it.  Traci's is an older model Blackberry.  Gerry and I both got a Motorola Android Astrix.  It is brand new...only on the market for a few days.  We all love them.

God worked things out for me today in that Gerry commented last night
that the day I had planned for today was too much, seeing as I was going to
be traveling all  day tomorrow.  There was a snowstorm today!  No school for Trina ,
no lunch with A, no midweek even because the building in which we meet  is a school board building and was closed.  So I had a very restful day.

BUT, I squandered most of it playing with my new toy.  I love electronic toys!  I could have done spent my time much more productively!  I didn't exercise, I didn't eat until dinner.  But I got household chores done too. Bed got made, laundry got put away, dinner got made, dishwasher got emptied.  A meal is cooking in the crock pot and Gerry is going to deliver it to a family that needs it.  The house is relatively clean for when I leave in the morning.  (I hope it looks decent when I get home!) My smoothie is ready for the morning.  And I am pretty well packed.

It is 9:15 pm now on Wed.  I leave the house at 8 am Thursday.  I said
good night to Gerry tonight and realized he would be gone to work before I get up and go tomorrow.  So I told him I would see him on  Monday night!!

 I am so excited for this trip to see my friend!

My walker is fixed! It was a loose screw.

Kind of like what goes on in my head sometimes! :)  Sorry, couldn't resist.

Gerry and Trina and I all got new phones tonight.  Trina got a BB Torch.  Gerry and I got the brand new Motorola Atrix.  Fun times learning all about them and seeing what they can do.  Traci is a little envious of Trina's new phone!
