Would you believe?

Trip to Florida not so much fun for a lot of reasons, Dad being sick, kids could only stay a couple of days, and then there were the fires.

It wasnt without humor though, here is a video and the song that was playing on the radio at the time....

Not many miles this last week

Well, did a big 3 miles for the week. Boooooooo. That was all on Monday.

Tuesday, may dad went into the hospital with bigtime infection in one of his legs. The doctors werent too optimistic the first night in the emergency room. He is responding well to the antibiotics and will probably be in the hospital for several more days, or, as the infection doctor said, until the smell goes away. I am happy to be here to help my sister prepare his house for his return. We are guessing that he will be on oxygen 24/7. If he is compliant, he should be okay for another 10,000 miles at least.

I feel like the luckiest kid in the world, especially on this mother's day. My girls have sacrificed a mothers day with their kids, and it is Dawn's first mother's day with her Drew Man. Also, I get the chance to turn a potentially sad time into a glad time by being able to visit with my dad while he is relatively healthy due to forced healthy living. I doubt he will be as healthy living on his own, or as compliant with care as he is now.

Enough gloom and doom.

Week 1: 14 miles
Week 2: 9 1/2 miles
Week 2: 3 miles (so embarassed, but I spent my time finishing many projects that needed to be done so I could come to Florida for the week.)

Blazy Blog

Since I started my walking routine on a Saturday, I will update the week on Friday.

I didnt do so good this week. I talked myself out of walking and went to lunch with Alexis and Landon Monday, which was very nice. Landon came out of his shell a little and let me hold him he told me what dogs say, and then barked and barked and barked.

Tuesday I went on a phototaking walk. I tried the camera on shutter priority and still got a bunch of blurry photos. I suppose I will figure it out.

Wednesday and Thursday were pretty lazy lunches, I ran errends to avoid a trip to do them today.

So this morning I drug the deeohgee (thats dog for those of you not into phonetic spelling) for a 5 miler thru golden meadows.

Week 1: 14 miles
Week 2: 9 1/2 miles

More next week!
