Walking Before Running

Last night got a brain workout playing Scrabble, stayed up to watch a Fred Astaire movie then got woken up around 12:30 by our neighbor's blaring radio.  Called downstairs around 12:45, two times of knocking(4x) and the phone ringing once (4x) and then at 1:18 heard the door opening by key and the radio being turned off.  By then I had a headache and at 2:30 still hadn't fallen back to sleep.  Woke up at 6:15 and am in the lobby on the computer trying very hard to be honorable and not to go into dictionary to look for Q words.

I think this is what I got on the pedometer.

Elliptical mileage in 20 minutes.

Didn't put the pedometer on with having to go through airport security. Trapsing through O'hare was probably good for about a mile, but can't count it.  Had a great spinach pie with S&S after we got home. I'm so lucky that both my "children" are such good cooks, with the crab and shrimp quiche that I got this trip and enough exercise to really enjoy it.

Back home to shopping run.  It was so strange hearing silence during it. Do I miss the family.

Forgot the pedometer again and didn't do a route, but between shopping and yardwork, I did get in a few.

Got to do a big loop around town together even after Steve put in 2 miles golfing this morning.  Going to our church's 96th anniversary dinner tonight with my folks.

Frazz cartoon today:

Girl: Nice weekend. Boy: For you. I've got this monday worksheet hanging over my head.

Girl: Which will take you 5 minutes and Mrs Olsen assigned it tuesday. Boy: I work best under pressure.

Girl: In your case, "Best" meaning... Boy: "Exclusively."
