Pounding the pavements at last

We have had a great weekend - what a pity it is just about over !!! Yesterday Kaitlin and I had our muffins (and my folks joined us which was really lovely). After doing some shopping we came home and went for a good 1 hour walk. On the way stopped off to see one of the Boys Town Prize Homes - quite nice but not nearly big enough for us and our furniture but lovely to win !!!!! After that I took K to get her hair cut before we came home and I landed up having a nap in front of the TV until it was time to do dinner before going to work.
Having decided that I wasn’t going to stay late at work, when the manager asked I couldn’t find it in myself to say no as I know that he was battling to get the load finished. Anyway, by the time I got home and phoned Al and spoke to him for a while it was after midnight when I got to bed. Managed to sleep in until 7am this morning and then got up and went for another walk along the Broadwater (1¼ hours) which was great as K wasn’t with me and I could really step it out. While I was walking I was thinking to myself “A 60’s girl. A 60’s girl” - no point in not being positive !!!!!! Mind you, after the week that I have had I don’t really expect to do that at all, but I can always aim high !!!!! I was also thinking about how I could get walking more and think that I may try to walk during my lunch hour - we have showers at work so I can probably change, walk for ½ hour, go back to the uni, have a shower and get back to the office within an hour. At first I was thinking that what was the point for only 30 minutes of exercise but then I realised that ½ hour of walking would be better than nothing. There are a couple of things which I have to get done during my lunch hours this week but it is certainly something I am going to try to work into the days ahead.
This afternoon we went to some friends (I thought for a BBQ but it landed up being a roast) with some roast potatoes (which I couldn’t resist) and some lemon meringue pie (which I only had a little bit of).
Anyway, am off to watch us last the last 2 wickets in the cricket and then watch the Broncos in their game against Manly - we should win that one but you just never know with footy !!!
Take care everyone - have a great week and be good to yourselves - you are all worth it !

TIAGF : The typhoon which has moved on from Taiwan so Al’s travel arrangements home don’t have to be changed !!!!

LeisaB had the link to the Louise Hay cards - I have been picking one each day (when I remember) and they are really good to give you something to think about during the day. Mine for today was “I am at one with all the people on the planet” - how true is that with all the friends I have made through blogging - thank you all for being my friend !
