What a week!

Thanksgiving went as I plan everyone arrive a little late, but it was great to have the family sitting together.
Friday was the start of my sore throat, Tuesday it moved into my noise. The headache pounded from my sinus. Next, the little bugs ran into my lungs, where they are making it hard to breathe right now. As for walking, we plan to take the week off!

My walking spots

Why stop at one when two can do?

safe and warm

My Walmart

I left my home as the sun hit our earth.
I wanted to walk a mile,
The snow is melting, but the cold air remains,
So I left for Wal-mart, were it is warm and safe.
My pay was spent within an hour,
 as I walked that busy mile.

Gone but not forgotten!

I miss my Daddy!
Sharing the story in a book,
Just sitting in the front yard.
All the rides to spend a penny!

My foot hurts!

red line

Saturday, I stepped on a small nail. It went passed my shoe into my foot!
Sunday, I try to open the bathroom door wearing new slipper taking skin off my big toe.
Monday, my foot hurts; I have a red line trying to run up my toe.
(Time to see Mom.)

Monday night, I feel ok, Neosporin with pain relief helped.




Tuesday morning, I want my mommy! Yes, I am a big baby! More Neosporin but first was a painful Epsom salt soak.

Wednesday, I am taking the day off just to stay in bed.  I have a good Family, I am lucky. Food is delivery to me in bed, drinks arrive without a sound, and I am beginning to enjoy this kind of carefree life. Only thing is the twenty minutes Epsom salt soaks.

Thursday, I am back to being alone! My Foot looks ok, this vacation has to end, work tomorrow.

Pictures?

I went to visit my son today. He shows me how to add pictures! I spend a few minutes editing my post to update them.

But this is about the miles I walk, not what I can learn.

I went walking in a mall. Christmas is here! Halloween is on sale 25% off. I could not find Thanksgiving anywhere!  This is our family’s holiday. All of the table busy with cooking, cleaning, talking about last year, things that mean nothing but you get to relive the past. The piles of dishes waiting to be washed only used today, all the tables full of pies. The white home made tablecloth grandma spend hours working on. I never understand how moving your finger around could make thread turn into flowers! But my mom was there we us watching a black & white TV working on the thanksgivings table cloth for over a year!

One summer she started crocheting all her children an afghan. The following Christmas was summer blankets. (She spends one and a half years working her fingers to the bone.) I still have the afghan. Maybe some day I can pass it down to my grandchildren!

All of this and I never told you, that I walked two miles! :}

week 18

Total of   285.87 miles I have walked and 254.13 miles left to go!

Happy Halloween

I asked for no rain or snow, but what happens, we get snow before Halloween! Why, all I can think of is Tim Burton’s movie, “The Nightmare Before Christmas“. Has Jack Frost taken over Halloween instead of Jack Skellington, taking over Christmas! Did Santa ask his friend Mr. Frost for help? Would  Jack Frost do this on his own? Well we have a white Christmas? Should Jack Skellington try to claim that holiday? I guess we will have to what and see!

TV wins

I'm always good!

I'm good !

So much for getting out of bed! Why turn on the TV?




I only watch it for a minute. That kitten is keeping me up all hours of the night. He sits in front of the TV, watching it. No need to watch it myself! I should be making mile with my legs but their resting on top of my blankets.

Haunted Happenings in Salem, Ma

I had the honors to Visit Salem, Ma this weekend, to see the Haunted Happenings.
Only thing I waited until after 4pm to start looking, every thing closed at 5pm.
But the walk was nice, I had to stop and rest because it was still to warm outside for me.

I walked five mile on this trip. My family was great with all my stops. And the red line had a lot to offer visitors.

It is Raining Today

My cats enjoy waking me up. Not at 6 or 7 am, when the world is awake, but I get to watch the sun rise! Can you believe 4 am was the start of my day! I love to stay up all night reading books, playing on the computer games, or just moving the house around. Let me explain, I feel the only way to clean a house is to move everything! Why move the bed just to put it back in the same spot? While you’re at it, why leave it in the same room? This way the floor can dry from being washed! No one else in my family feels this way. Moving the bedrooms from room to room while the kids are sleeping only makes them wake up lost, but they do get up to see where they are today! And their new room is clean! But we are not talking about little feet, I wanted to walk and it is raining outside so I had to wait for a store to open, I did walk 2.30 mile! But I did spend money on things I do not need, I just put things in a cart that looked good! Next time I’ll leave my wallet at home. And eat before I go out. I stopped at a food store on the way home I have no idea where to put all the food! I should think before I act! But then again I wouldn’t be me!

Sam, the big blue monkey

I am so mean, I have an animal that makes noise, and I put it in the cats’ cage. Closed the door and told it to stay in the cage and be good! My dogs are walking from room to room looking at it. This big blue monkey (Sam) with his hands outside trying to reach freedom, legs resting on the cold wooden floor. As the dog nears Sam it cries out, you should see this, the dogs wants to help Sam get out of the cage, but as their mouth touch the monkey Sam yells a loud scream, the dogs run from the room watching me watch them! Each attempt only last until it cries out in pain, I tell the dogs “NO, hurt Sam!” and pat the blue monkey telling him he has to stay in the cage. These dogs are confused, or think I’m crazy!

Walking today?

Let me sleep!

Is has been only three months, but I want to add extra miles on just in case of bad weather. I do not want to worry like I did for reading the books! But I just can’t leave the computer today. Last night I was up until 5 am trying to beat a game, first thing this afternoon I’m back on the game. Who gets to sleep all day, then play computer games? The only animals here working are the dogs barking out the window. Good thing this is the weekend! The dirty dishes are taken over the kitchen; the broom has gone on strike and the laundry in the dryer is on Vacation!

Birthday Challenge

On my 52nd birthday I took a challenge to read 52 books. By my birthday, I had completed the challenge. I started out reading one book a night, but without my sleep, life became hard! I tried one book a week, sounded good, only who wants to read when you can swim?In the fall, I was busy with yard work. next thing I knew it was spring and I still needed to read twenty more books! I had to say no to going out to movies, eating out, even missing a play or two. I read all day and half the night, I was down to one week with three books to go. I put my life on hold but eventually I made my deadline!

So for my 53rd birthday I took a new challenge to walk 540 miles. I have a plan to walk 11.5 miles a week. It just can't rain or snow for one year!Can this be done? I hope this does not kill me! Spending my life in bed reading, and now I'm marathon walking.
