Jim made a delicious talapia last night. It was crusted with garlic cheese and bacon crumbs and baked....yum!!! We're still on our morning orange juice and vitamins regime and then a workout. Yesterday I managed 2 miles on the bike and 7 minutes on the glider. Am finally getting my heart rate up where it needs to be for some benefit. I'm determined to get up to 5 miles a day on the bike. Jim's been good about going to the gym, although today I think he's trying to weasel out of it. Usually by noon he has done his workout, but it's now 12:30 and he's still here.
I don't know how long we'll keep this regime going, but I'd like to stay with it for at least a month and then evaluate how I feel. We're both definitely feeling more energetic.
The project at hand right now is to get Kathy moved to Jim and Terri's house. It's way more than Jim or I can handle so her kids and siblings are going to have to handle the move. We hope to have it accomplished by mid-December, latest. Kathy's health seems to be such that she can handle the relocation, but she needs help packing and cleaning the apartment.
The solar installation guys arrived yesterday about 10 and began reinforcing the beams over our garage where the solar panel will go. They also spent a lot of time on the roof installing the pilings to which the panels will attach. Hours and hours of hammering. If finally started to rain so they had to get down off the roof and stash everything in our garage. Weather permitting, they will be back on Monday to finish this phase of the work. I'm excited to have this and maybe I won't be such a scrooge about lights and baking over the holidays.
Somehow, in all the hallabaloo that was going on, Max got out unnoticed. He ended up spending the night out and looked really weary and bedraggled when Jim let him in this morning.
We got our ADT system installed a couple of weeks ago and Jim has set the alarm off twice. First time he had left and didn't realise the alarm was set. I had just gotten out of the shower and had to run starkers through the house to quiet it. The wailing siren is a real heart stopper. This morning, when he set it off, I was in the way back bedroom and decided to stay there and let him deal with it. When things quieted down I came out, and was a little amused that Jim still had that wild eyed look one gets when a siren has just shrieked over your head. He didn't take it seriously when I told him about my streaking through the house and how deafening it was, but I think he now knows. Ain't karma great!
It's a beautiful sunny day - way too nice to stay inside at the computer. The garden beckons.
