Coding and Sleeping

And I managed to get in exercise on both days. Unfortunately that still left a number of tasks on the table.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

That sounds like a lot, Gud!

Yeah, I ran Saturday morning. And after that I sat on my ass and reheated some leftovers and read. And then I went and got ice cream, then went to a friend's house where we made a meal kit dinner and watched a movie. Today I got a massage and went to target. And ate last nights leftovers. I guess I unloaded the dishwasher in there somewhere.

The status is NOT quo.

Very happy for you, Scrappy!

Sadly, we are on the other side of the house-buying situation. Prices have always been crazy in LA, but they are even more stupid high right now, and people are swooping in to buy things for cash as investment properties whenever something that might be affordable (for all values of "affordable" that are half a million for a run-down 2-bedroom) pops up. At this point we are somewhat resigned to never being able to buy a house within commuting distance. Ah well. At least our rental situation is pretty stable.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Congrats on the house, Scrappy!

And Pix, I hear you, housing in LA is nuts

Perhaps, but it sounds like a number of tasks got done. I try not to let what I didn't do overshadow what I did do (sometimes I don't make that one, I admit.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Scrappy, you are literally living the dream -- I keep saying, sure my mother could sell this house for a zillion dollars, but we don't want to live anywhere cheaper! If only I wanted to move to Michigan...

Our wings are not tired.

Wow! That's more wading than running. That would be exhausting.

It was. Not for everyone though. The 3 of us were walking along about half way done when a couple guys passed us that were already wearing their medals, and dripping wet. We asked if they were doing it twice and they pointed ahead to 2 women each pushing strollers and said they were doing the 2nd time around to finish with their wives. A world of Awwwwww.

That is some productivity, aurelia! My chore list didn't even get a glance this weekend.

Yay bug screen, Connie! I hope you have the weather to enjoy it soon.

Way to be sure you are the first to get saved in a pool disaster, sarameg!

-t is making me tired with her chore list too!

So happy for Scrappy and J! You really did make the place so cute and deserve the reward. Good luck witht he Labradoodle. I can't walk Zoe with a choke chain or regular collar. I have to use a harness or she pulls my arm off.

And now after reading Gud's chore list I am completely exhausted!

So back to work with me. Happy Monday All!

The exercise is more important than the other tasks. Seriously, at this point I am paying the price for focusing on my work and house chores more than my health.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And just think -- you could be like me and focus on neither house chores NOR health!
