This week has been a little busier so maybe it is SPRING after all. I have been in training this week, which always makes me more anxious for my retirement. Have I told ya lately that I only have 16 months and 14 days left until I retire. I have managed to diet all week but I still have not done the exercise thing, I am mad at my self about not taking control of my non actions.....I am sure I will get this started just as soon as everything lines up just right, lol. Tuesday I did go on a plant tour and get some extra benefit from it which I can count as exercise. Me and my training team of 5 men and 1 instructor had our tour and being that one team member is an exercise nut and soooo in shape and leader of the team lead us up probably 8 flights of stairs from elevation 119' to 166' that is 47 feet of stairs and I survived, but talk about noodle legs lol I had them and could not talk, lol. Was very good for me to be pushed, that maybe what I have to do get someone to push me...I could tell ALL THEM MEN WERE THINKING THEY WOULD HAVE TO PUSH ME UP THEM STAIRS, LOL. The training progressed and Thursday exams went fine... We did very good on our team performance and I only missed 1 on the written exam. Friday I worked and then I went to pick up my new glasses.... I have been wearing safety glasses that work pays for for my regular glasses, because 2 pair is too confusing and hard to keep up with. The only problem is they are heavy and I have decided I am sick of them... so I broke down and bought me some very light weight ones, the frames are made of titanium. I think I am gonna really like them.
Pat left on Tuesday going to Bama to go with Randy to check out a job before bidding on it and also to take care of some things out there. He got his old Bass boat out of the shop and ready to sale. He also picked up the jet ski that had been there for many months. I think we are supporting the boat repairman pretty good this year. Hopefully the old bass boat will sale this spring.
The boys brought home more progress reports and no major problems.This has been a tough week for them, they went to visit the family of their friend that killed himself a couple times and then to the funeral on Wednesday. I am looking forward to things getting back to normal for them. Kyle's friend Morgan came over one night to visit. Friday Blake went to spend the night with a friend, Kyle went out, Chris had to work and I watched a movie and enjoyed the quiet.
Oh! on Tuesday I found out Brooke was coming to visit. She and Holly were gonna fly in so Holly could visit a friend that is very sick and will not be with us much longer. This is the friend that gave Brooke the dog, Molly in the fall.
Saturday, Kyle helped me to put up new curtain rods in my bedroom and hang the lacey curtains in there.. looks real good... much better than they did in his room, lol.
Then I made a stop over at Tracy's to check out the work in progress and seems they got it going on just fine. I also picked up Tanner to go with me to Jackson airport to pick up Brooke and Holly. We got there just as they were taxiing in. We stopped at Applebee's on our way home to eat and it was real good.. I had grilled shrimp and salad and it was good. I dropped Holly off at her friends and me, Brooke and Tanner went to my house.
Chris, Blake and Brooke went to rent movies while I cooked. It has rained here til noon and just kinda a couch potato weekend. Tanner spent part of the night, lol.
It was a good weekend and Sunday was just laid back and I needed the rest. I did not even cook other than breakfast. Blake became ill that afternoon and I was afraid the rest of us would get his stomach virus. We seem to all have missed it. The kids were out of school on Monday, and Chris was off too so that worked out good...... Me and Tracy had to work:(. Brooke left on Tuesday but we had a nice visit and she will be back in April for a week. As things have turned out I started working the 12 hour shift again on Tuesday, but hopefully only for a couple weeks. I am thinking this will pay off my last credit card and get me set for a year of just normal living expenses for a year before I retire. BTW have I told you lately that I have only 16 months and 9 days until I retire.
Also I would like to mention that Reunion will not be the Saturday before the 4th because I have my annual requal that week and have to be at work thru that Friday. There is no way I can test all week and be a host for reuion the next day. It will be the following weekend.....I would like input from all on if they want it on the 4th, 5th or 6th. We are hoping that Brandon and Christi can make this one since she is not PG and we want to show off the twins and Emma. So let me know your thoughts on this.
