turpsMurphy was at the vets again this morning and was given a clean bill of health. He needs to finish his supplement course, but we can stop giving him the painkillers, which will make him happy. The noises he made on the way there were ridiculous though, so loud and protesting.
We were back in the house by 9:20, and that quick appointment is what I'm blaming for the fact we set out for Rosie's exercise only class far too early. We'd walked to the location and getting close saw the door to the hall was still closed, at which point I realised the class started at 11am, and it was only just before 10.
Because we had walked, I didn't really want to turn around and go home again, so we had a walk in the park and sat in the sunshine a bit. Then called in the library as James needed something printing. It's changed a lot since I'd last been in, and if it wasn't for the fact I'm buried in books that Pauline keeps giving me, I'd be tempted to start going again because so many tempting books.
Also, Rosie is a liar that lies. Last week she told us she couldn't include any floor exercises due to it being an all ability class, today I walked in to see floor mats and one of the stations included planks on the floor. But only if you could safely stand up from the floor on your own. As I can, I opted for the floor planks, and do not recommend.
Now I'm waiting to go for my blood test. That isn't until 7:30, and it's thrown me a bit having an appointment so late. Don't they know I'm usually in my pjs and ready to settle for the night at that time?

Aug. 31st, 2025 03:11 pmromanticalI have failed to keep up as much as I like/planned, but to be fair, I've been a little busy. I ended up working two days this week (beyond the meeting I had) because they needed help, so I stuffed envelopes like crazy. Fortunately, I am a very good envelope stuffer and stuff-putter-together-er. The past four days have been hockey!hockey!hockey! sort of. I mean, there have been hockey games, but since none of the other volunteers felt like doing the work, it kind of fell to me. I've done my fill of eating out lately though, because groups tend to want to do that.
Still the weekend went well, and by bb!hockeys are adorable, and the training came was filled with baby bb!hockeys. These people were born in 2010. TWO THOUSAND TEN. That makes absolutely no sense at all. They are INFANTS.
School is finished-finished. I turned in the very last assignment just now, and so I'm done. Should get my degree in a little less than a month, and yes please. Will I go on for more schooling? Probably not, but never say never. (I'm saying never). Possibly I will take random classes on line just for fun. Not for a while though. I have a lot of things I need to work on just in life-life without taking that on right now.
Tomorrow is going to see Jordan Klepper, Tuesday is school with the sixth graders and meeting the kids I'm going to spend most of my time working with, and then Wednesday is all the kids, and I'm already tired. I'm going to have to get back on some sort of schedule. Blech.
I'm trying a new exercise program this week. We'll see how it goes. I need to tone/firm up my arms because they are batwings, and I would like them not to be. Anyway. Life continues to be life, which I guess means it's doing its job.

Aug. 27th, 2025 05:09 pmturpsMy MiL's visit is going nicely so far.
We went out for a drive Saturday, went for lunch at our favourite beach restaurant on Sunday, went to Whitley Bay for a drive on bank holiday Monday then went to see Corey where I got to hug the stuffing out of him. I'll just skirt over the morning where I sat on the wall outside the gym waiting for it to open, only to discover my branch doesn't open at all on bank holidays.
We drove to Sea Houses yesterday, which was another lovely sunny day. Then today was class and an afternoon at home, because as much as she complains she doesn't get out, it's obvious my MiL doesn't have the stamina to go out every day without some downtime.
Today, Rosie told us she's starting an exercise only class from next Monday, using the time slot we used to have. She asked if there was anything people wanted including, and I made the rookie error of saying nothing I wanted to be included, but no more walking lunges, please. Guess what she's decided to add, for sure? Honestly, I never learn.
James also got a cancellation for his back injections so he's getting those Saturday evening. Kayleigh is driving us there and back, then some recovery time and hopefully, he'll be back to work.
My SiL and her family are at a holiday camp close to the wildfire on the Yorkshire moors. They were supposed to be there until Friday, but are coming back today instead, taking the train as the main road is closed. They're going to stay with my SiL's partner's mam for a couple of days, then come home on Saturday. But I must admit, I'm kinda hoping that they come home Friday instead so we can drop off my MiL then and have a bit more breathing room on the Sat.
