Events of Note: Unit 5 Discussion Posts
* Lots happening here in our little household, although the house itself is very quiet. My daughter is up at the mountain house at the moment, basking in the warmth and camping out. My husband and I had a really pleasant 'date night', last night. He didn't finish work, and I wasn't done with school until around 8:30pm, but we still managed to eat out together. Fell asleep in front of watching a film at home, afterwards (still can't remember the name of the film!). Over dinner and 'real' adult conversation, we talked about his years in the U.S Airforce, and about my plans for furthering my education, even after I get college degree number four completed. Since the economy is still very much in the ditch, part of our more immediate plans have to do with getting ourselves through this next Winter with a minimum of stress.
* In the meantime, I've decided to embark on a 10,000 steps a day challenge as a part of building up my core fitness, again. My docs at Stanford have told me that I have gotten this far in my life because I've stayed mentally and physically active throughout, in spite of various physical difficulties. To my way of thinking, maintaining a healthy body weight and physique basically comes down to the equation of calories in equalling calories out-even though I don't deliberately count calories. Since my city isn't that safe (highest homicide rate per capita in the U.S.), I'm having to be a little creative about finding other ways to exercise, like stair-walking and beach-running. With my constant iPod companion in-tow, pretty much anything is possible!. If there's one aspect of life that I thrive on, is setting myself a healthy challenge.
* Right now, though-I'm off to catch up on a bit of housework, and to find myself some brunch.
Enjoy your Saturday, and see you in the threads!.
