Beautiful Days...

Fall is a wonderful time of year; I love the lingering heat of the day topped off with nights cool enough to snuggle under blankets. This is a glorious time for being off work for two more weeks, and today I took advantage of it.

I jumped out of bed -- well, ok, I rolled -- and got myself dressed; hollered for Brian and made him take a walk with me over at the park. It was my goal to push myself just a bit, and I didn't want to do it out there alone my first time. So off we went in the morning sunshine, both of us wearing headphones since we don't appreciate each others' music!, grabbing bottles of water and heading around the loop I usually walk. There is one part in the first third of my walk where the path is an "S" curve, and that is normally the portion I jog through, since I'm warmed up but not tired out yet at that point. I have to wonder what he thought when zooom there goes Mom off on a jog (yeah yeah, it was slow, he could have walked fast and kept up!) I ended up walking the entire loop I was used to doing BS (before surgery), but I have to admit, my legs were a little rubbery by the time I got done! Tis my plan to do the same again tomorrow :)

In other news, I heard from my mortgage company and my realtor today. Looks like I should have the appraisal by the end of the week. My home owners insurance is set up to take over when escrow closes. And there must be paperwork somewhere linking me to being a homeowner, because I'm getting junk mail related to new home buying! I'm well on my way, and totally excited and ready to get started on making it ~mine~ !
HUGS to everyone!
