Pickleball

Well we finally did it.

Someone took the time to teach us how to play...

Larry and Christine Romer from the 17th ward taught us how to play this morning before work.

The rules will take a little bit to learn but we had a lot of fun!

The only mishap was when I stepped on the ball, twisted my left ankle and landed on my right knee. I also ripped a muscle in my left butt cheek. 

So far the ankle feels ok, the knee....it's gonna leave a mark and my butt hurts to sit...or stand...or walk.

We can't wait to go again!

I guess we need to invest in some paddles first.

Life-style Changes - How do you do it?

Now is the time for healthy choices. I have GOT to figure out how to do this.

Our exercise has dropped off the face of the earth.

The "picking up something from fast food and taking it home" has increased.

Daddy had a physical last Friday and he got some results back yesterday.

"Your cholesterol is up from last time", (which was up from LAST time as well).

It's time for healthy eating and exercise or he goes on meds.

We had a discussion last night that neither one of us has a problem with eating it, it's the making a menu, shopping, preparing. We know it shouldn't be that hard, but it IS! We just can't get our minds wrapped around it. 

We both like fruits and veggies...for the most part but I guess we are just too lazy to prepare.

My Dr. moved and so I need to find another Dr. so I can go for my yearly that I already missed and have some blood work done as well...

but I am also afraid to hear what they have to say about my results.

On the other hand. I am so tired of being so tired.

Where to start when we have the best excuses for everything?

Nap for lunch gone bad.

I have been so tired this week and could have used a nap at lunch today. Unfortunately there are a million (give or take) guys at my house tearing off and putting on a new roof (Money that I'm not having fun spending). Soooo I said to meself. "Self, go pick up a salad and Lime Rickey and go park in the shade at Pioneer". What a great idea I had! So I did...only to park two stalls away from a guy in his running, DIESEL truck taking a nap. How do I know this? His head was tipped back and his mouth was wide open. Why he just didn't turn off the truck and open the windows was beyond me. There was nice breeze and it was cool in the shade. I opened my book and started on my lunch when a young kid pulls in between us with his music, hip hop or something going and starts puffing on his Ecig. Gag, gag...roll up my window and the car starts getting warm because the breeze was coming from the direction of the hip hop car.

So I then head back to work to finish my lunch. It is freezing in our building so I just sat in the parking lot. Instead of enjoying the green grass and trees at the park I get to enjoy looking at this...along with an occasional skunk smell coming from the pastures near by.

I never did get a nap. I look like a Zombie.

OCD?

I don't consider myself as being OCD until something happens and then I try to "deal" with it as long as possible, trying to let it "not bother" me.

This is a current problem at my house.

See the problem?

I'll let you look again.

See it now?

No?

There are two different colors of towels.

I like matching towels in my bathroom.

I am holding out until these are washed. 

I know I can do it. 

I can do hard things right?

By the way...we went to visit some people in the hospital the other day. As we walked down the hallway there are framed pictures hanging that employees having taken. They had writing on the bottom of what the painting is and who took them.

One of them had the writing crooked that I had to rush by it and try not to look.

By the way Audrey, if you read this you had an awesome picture and NO, the crooked wording was not on your picture.

Is this considered OCD?
