Well, my new workout routine of 6:00 a.m. Power Pump on Monday
mornings has seriously impacted my blogging. I used to write my weekly posting
first thing on Monday (when there’s no Daily Show to watch) but now I’m at the
gym by the time I used to get up so it’s not happening. It’s clearly time to
explore another option. Anyway….
It was an even busier than normal week. I know, I always say
that but this week I had something every single night and some of it was
stressful. The CRAC (Campus Rec Advisory Committee) was #1 on that list.
A bunch of us from water aerobics went to the meeting
Tuesday at 4:30 to fight for not cutting our classes for next semester. We’d
coordinated our efforts so 4 focused on different aspects of our argument. I
covered the history of why our numbers dropped so had written out notes and
practiced in my head all day long. We all said our piece and even got out in
time to swim, albeit with a late start. We had thought our comments had been
well received but Rene, who is on the committee, came over to the pool once the
meeting was over and told us that Vicki told the committee that the decision to
cut to 2 days/week had already been made (by her, of course) so wasn’t up for a
vote – just the new fee structure. That deflated us until Rene said the
director of the Rec Center told her it was not a done deal and he’d be looking
into it. Hope!
I had a Husker Cats meeting on Wednesday after work, swam Thursday
and then met Darla after work on Friday for a dreaded Wal Mart run. I avoid
that place like the plague (it used to be a favorite but not anymore) but had a
long list of things that I needed. Well, that was a bust! I wasn’t able to find
even half of what was on my list so went home mostly empty handed. At least
there’s Amazon. Gotta love free deliveries to your front door.
After such a jam packed week, I was looking forward to
sitting on my butt as much as possible on the weekend and staying in my jammies
until noon (at least) on Saturday. But Thursday night I got an email calling a
Friends of the Library meeting for Saturday morning. As treasurer, I’d not only
have to go but did through all the paper on my desk to find bank statements and
do my treasurer’s report. Grrrrrrr…
Of course, it wasn’t all bad that I had to get up and go.
After the meeting, Lorri and I did some shopping in Wahoo and even drove to
Weston (a tiny town just west of Wahoo) where a restored general store with
antiques for sale had opened up. Once I got home, it was time to get my last
gardening done. I repotted all the plants I’d brought in Thursday night ahead
of our first hard frost, brought in the plant stands and got them cleaned and
set up. Then I mowed for the last time (it took forever for the leaves to fall
and that’s what my last mowing waits for) and drained the hoses to store in the
garage for the winter. By the time I added in all my chores, the weekend was
done. And while I didn’t get much vegging in, at least I’d been productive and
was feeling ready for winter. Bring it on!
