January 19-25 2014

 

Sunday 19- cloudy but nice. (First Flower I've seen since September or so)

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 seven minutes.

I updated the Copper Mountain Mesa Website and sent out the Newsletter.

I did my stretches, lifted 10lb dumbbells and went for my evening walk with my backpack.

I called Family and Friends... I think they're still in hiding from me.

I finished the final edit that I got from Bonnie and will have her make a little change on the book cover and it goes up on Amazon.com...

I did my stretches, lifted 20lb dumbbells, and went for a night run.

I got caught up on my astronomy reading.

Monday 20- temps of 64 to 43 degrees.

I did my stretches, jumping jacks, deep knee bends and ran a mile and a half with 1.5lbs around each wrist.

I helped a person with their for almost an hour over the phone.

I did my stretches, lifted 10lb dumbbells and went for my evening walk with my backpack.

I updated Bonnie’s laptop to Win 8.1 from 8.0. Took a long time to download and install. I also talked to her about rewording the cover on two of my books.

I continued reading chapter two of “Physical Geology: Earth Revealed 6th edition”

I started rereading “The Cell: A molecular Approach”.

I did my stretches, lifted 20lb dumbbells, and went for a night run.

I practiced my guitar.

Tuesday 21- overcast but a nice day. (Picture of me waking up)

Seems like I worked on computers and getting my book ready to publish on Amazon.

Wednesday 22- overcast!

I did my stretches.

I got Bonnie’s laptop all fixed and took it to her home to install it on my way to Yucca Valley to do some shopping for a very sick Kelly.

Setting up the laptop for Bonnie took a short time once we figured out how the HDMI hookup worked and installed Google Browser on the desktop instead of  on the the dang start screen on Win8.1 which I uninstalled.

Then I went to Pet Plus to get meds for Kelly’s cats, Vons, WalMart, and then onto Kelly’s where we ate some chicken after getting some bread in her to settle her stomach. We watched a new series called “Intelligents” what I thought was kind of a little/lot like “Person of Interest”...

I got home early to read a little more of chapter 2 of  “Physical Geology: Earth Revealed 6th edition”; and watched some videos of cell functions trying to get my head around DNA and Chromosomes.

I watched the last episodes of “Merlin” and was saddened by the ending of the show.

Thursday 23- still cloudy today.

I did my stretches, jumping jacks, deep knee bends and ran a mile and a half with 1.5lbs around each wrist.

I got caught up in writings with my sister Pauls. She sent me an email on something she is submitting and made the unfortunate mistake of asking for my advice. But to be fair I submitted something to her I wrote so she can get back at me.

I went for my evening walk with my backpack.

Friday 24- beautiful outside!

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 seven minutes. I went for a cool down walk after all this.

I updated the Copper Mountain Mesa Website and sent out the Newsletter.

I did my stretches, lifted 10lb dumbbells and went for my evening walk with my backpack.

I spent all day working on the revision of “Rainbow at the End of Tomorrow” and uploaded what I revived and the new cover that Bonnie did for me to Amazon. Once that was all done I uploaded book 2 of the series called “The Water’s Edge” and its cover also done beautifully by by my artistic friend Bonnie. I am still waiting for Amazon to change the cover to book one; it’s still showing the old one that will be used on book 3 “The Dolphin Queen”, but I was told it may take time for it to filter down through their system.

Saturday 25- another bright and sunny day outside.

I did my stretches.

I woke up late and had just enough time to cook up my Mystery chile and rice casserole for potluck. I’d say there were around fifteen hungry desert folks showing up to have a jaw with their friends and neighbors. Dyan Carroll and Dorothy Jacobsen  pushed the limits of culinary art with their delicious chicken divan, cauliflower in cheese sauce, acorn squash in rosemary butter and bread pudding. Chris Jonas made his world famous award winning tummy filling macaroni salad. Newcomers to our little community Susie and John brought a marvelous chile relleno casserole we all helped to devour. Mary and Chris Koval slaved all day over a hot wood stove cooking us turkey vegetable soup, a bean chile delight, corn bread and mounds of cake that tasted mighty fine. Shyonna and her Mom brought love, happiness and cheer to all of us there.

I watched a movie on Netflix call “Jack Reacher” (2012) starring Tom Cruise; ex-Army sniper turned kinda detective.
