Sunday 05- sunny day!

I awoke at 4am Az time. I had the car already packed and climbed inside to drive the six and a half hours back to my home in the desert. I slept most of the day after eating oatmeal for lunch.  I watched the new season 3 episode 2 of “Sherlock”..... I already wrote all this on Saturday’s entry, but that would leave Sunday’s blank. The picture above is my sister Paula and her husband Mark; two of the nicest folks you could meet.

Monday 06- another sunny day!

I did my stretches, lifted weights, yoga, ran up and down the hill carrying 5lbs in each hand, core trainer, and punched the heavybag for five minutes.

Was waiting to take Kelly to town to do her shopping but she had some problems and needed to be close to a bathroom; I think the Christmas turkey went bad.

I read through the long preface of “Physical Geology: Earth Revealed 6th edition” (2006) This is one of the books I will be studying this year; trying to get back on track with my studies.

Tuesday 07- sunny with a few clouds.

I did my stretches, yoga, and ran a mile; forgot to wear the 1.5lbs around each wrist.

Linda H. came by to collect her mail I picked up for her while she's been away on retreat.

Wednesday 08- sunny!

I did my stretches.

I took Kelly shopping; Pet Plus, we ate dinner at Carrows Restaurant, Vons and then Walmart. I was kinda mighty tired when I got back home.

Thursday 09-   sunny and nice with a strong breeze in the evening..

I did my stretches.

I had lunch with my good Friend Sherry at the Sizzler. She had a bunch of firewood for me and also made me some fruit and banana jello to take home.

I found (with Kelly's help) a new show I really like called "Person of Interest"... has all the stuff I like: computers, helping people, computers....

Friday 10- nice beautiful day with into the mid 60s with lows tonight down into the mid 40s.

Saturday 11-wonderful weather we’re having.

I called Family and Friends; most weren’t home or hiding from me. I did have a nice jaw with Robert VanDenburgh about our wild and crazy youth.

I read the rest of chapter one of “Physical Geology: Earth Revealed 6th edition”. I answered all the questions for the quiz. I still mostly the basics. Now I have the audio visual to do.

***** Stuff I Wrote this Week******

I will have to cut down on time spent on FaceBook. I am trying to get back on track with my studies and do a little editing of my books to get them published. I’ve been too distracted by too many problems of some sort or another for some time now. Though I have made many friends here I want to keep in touch with. My Friends can always leave me a chat message here on FB and I will respond. I must limit my time to those who motivate me and those I have motivated; no more funny cat pictures, hoaxes about onions or political junk for me! I love you all but must do something with my life to account for my time spent above ground.
