My summer of friends, exercise and reading

Okay – so by now I have just completely lost track of how many weeks I have been sick. I still feel it in my chest. UGH! I hate being sick! But life goes on? Right?
Weekend was nice – but just flew by – like always. Saturday we finally sold our van – it had been sitting in the driveway for months without being used. It was a sad moment for James and I – we had so many vacation memories in that car. Then afterwards, I had lunch with some friends at Longhorns. It was nice to catch up with my friends. I love soup, so I had the shrimp and lobster chowder with a salad. Sunday Ava had a pool party to go to later in the afternoon, so I spent the morning ironing clothes that had been piling up for two weeks. As it started getting closer to party time – it started raining. This would be the second time the rain canceled the party. Fortunately the rain stopped and the party continued. The waterpark was nice and empty – just another party and perhaps two other families. Ava finally decided to try the diving board – well, as I knew she would, she loved it and kept doing it over and over again.
So, I ran Monday, at lunch, on the treadmill. The office has a small gym and with used equipment – I know that the treadmill is not calibrated properly – but I wonder how off my Nike+ is as well – the higher I set the speed – my pace increases, as in now I am going slower– how is that possible? Too funny! I am not looking to set any records, am happy just getting a workout and burning calories.
Am still reading The Highlander series. So far I like all of them except Into the Dreaming….maybe it was just too short. But today Fever Moon comes out and I want to go to Barnes and Noble to check it out. Also started reading Girl Gone – seems interesting….will continue to read while I wait for the next Highlander book to become available from the library.
July already – really?

So while I have gotten better, I am still coughing and feeling congested. I ran on Monday on the treadmill – didn’t feel too bad. I haven’t run outside because I feel that between the heat and my chest being so congested – it might be a recipe for disaster. Even my husband asked me last night why I am not running in the evenings…..just too hot!
Fourth was nice and quiet for us. James worked, so Ava and I went to Regal Cinemas Summer Movies and finally saw Hugo – LOVED IT!!! Afterwards we went to Menchies and enjoyed our froyo outside – it was a little overcast – so it was nice just to sit and enjoy the day off. We picked up Desi and ran some errands – went home and made pasta salad and when I looked at the clock – it was four! The day flew by. I ended my day by sitting outside and reading more of Karen Marie Moning – The Highlander’s Touch – I never thought of myself as the romance novel reader –but throw in some fantasy stuff and apparently I am! Nighttime finally came and Desi setoff some fireworks, as did our neighbor across the street. The kids loved it – me, I was just glad that I could walk into my house and go to bed. Glad I didn’t go to one of the city sponsored fireworks – traffic is just a nightmare getting out of those things.
Work is being handled one day at a time. We recently had an independent interviewer come in and talk to us because office morale is so low – but then the company goes and does things that just leaves all of us scratching our heads. Every day I dream of going back home to New York. Maybe – one day (sigh).
