Rainy Day

well, its raining here in the Valley of the Sun.  It started just past 3pm, and because I'm a Mom who cares, I offered my son a ride to work.  Too rainy to ride a bicycle!  He'd be soaked all night.  And still have to come home in more rain.  I figured I could do this for him :)

I hit the gym, but it was a tough 30 minutes on the elliptical.  1.95 miles in 30 minutes.  Not sure why I was dragging so much today.  I just couldn't get my oomph in gear!  Maybe it had to do with not feeling well yesterday.  I was still having mild stomach issues today and I'm beginning to think it has something to do with what I'm eating or drinking  and the after-effects of my gall bladder surgery.  Maybe I'll give a different try tomorrow with the foods I'm eating and see if that helps.  I think I need a little more water, and maybe some extra fruits or veggies.

I started reviewing my blogs from the month of December.  It's been a month now since Dad died.  I called my aunt today and we talked a bit.  It feels like so very long ago for her as well since we were there in Calif.  I thought it was just me and being to busy with work that the days have seemed endless in their moments, but are flying by when they're all shoved together.  Not sure what to make of that; it just is what it is.

I'm ready for a weekend, going to get my hair done on Saturday and do a little shopping.

As it rains, I keep checking my ceiling for signs of leakage.  We did a little home maintenance ourselves, trying to fix where the water has been seeping in when it rains really hard.  My best guess is its somewhere along the places there the AC unit is bolted to the roof.  Yes.  I know they seal it well when they install it, but ... something is leaking.  If it's repaired, I will be doing some ceiling repairs, spackling and painting some joints in the wallboard.   Sounds fun, right??  Actually, it will be difficult as my bedroom ceiling is vaulted.

With the rain, comes clouds.  And clouds at sunrise or sunset always makes for beautiful pictures!  So I'm crossing my fingers for the weekend :)  And with the Superbowl in town, I was thinking it might be fun to head downtown and catch some of the action.  However, I have no idea where to park, but I'm sure I can just follow the crowds.  ha ha ha

Hope you're ready, because here comes the weekend!
