The Eowyn Challenge Update

erulissedances: US and Ukrainian Flags (Default)
Tuesday, October 2nd, 2012 04:50 am
I tabulate my walking miles at the end of each month, unlike Miz Mik who totals her miles weekly. I like the feeling that I have some miles behind me. My pedometer broke in early September and was replaced within a week by a new one and I've been wearing that every day (except on Sundays out at the Renaissance Faire). I've been averaging two to four miles a day if I treadmill first thing in the morning, 1.5 to 2.5 miles if I don't.


I really enjoyed the strength of Eowyn. She wasn't willing
to sit in the background and let the men do all of the
dirty work.

Sleep and Date Night

Saturday, August 25th, 2012 05:23 am
Today is the first Saturday of the State Fair and I'll be going on my usual date. DH and I take Park and Ride over to the Fairgrounds instead of driving over there and then we wander the Fair, going through some of the buildings (they close at 9:00 pm so we can't spend a lot of time there) and eating our dinner. We usually stay at least until the nightly fireworks display and finally catch the bus back home in time to wake up tomorrow morning and go to Renaissance Festival. It's a busy weekend, but not quite as busy as next weekend will be when Sharon has joined us for our mayhem.

Still Walking...And With Hot Water

My DH had left an open phone book on my computer desk telling me to phone (A) or (B) for our water heater. But, after the issues we had with the previous plumber, I wasn't going to just take his word for it and went on to Angie's List to check them out. I found out that firm (A) had a lot of reviews, but very few of them were positive, and firm (B)wasn't even listed. I decided to find someone good instead.

A Day of Writing

erulissedances: US and Ukrainian Flags (Default)
Wednesday, July 11th, 2012 05:34 am
So, I've been trying to be good to myself and treadmill every day again. I'll try to make it a habit, which I know from studies means to do it for at least 30 days to make it ingrained. I have been doing a quick run when I wake at 3:30 am, but today I'm pushing things off until I return home around 10 am instead so that I can take a bit longer and not feel as rushed. Then I'll settle down to continuing edits on my AinA (and reading the crits that Keiless gave me as Beta yesterday) and working on a beta for Lai. It's very much looking like this will be a sit on my behind day, and that's why I want to take a bit longer run before I become sedentary.
