Random thoughts

I was trying to decided whether to even blog today. I was too busy to post yesterday and I didn't want to go two days in a row with nothing...but is it better to say nothing at all today? I don't want to be insensitive, but at the same time it has been 12 years. I know the pain for some people will never go away, but for others it fades over time.

I was in school in South Carolina that day 12 years ago. My roommate's dad was in New York on business though and I remember the hours and hours she and her family spent waiting to hear from him. Cell service was so bad that they did not find out until that night that he was ok.



So while I will never forget and always take time out to remember those who perished on September 11, I think that it's ok for me to post what I want.

Last night was Track Tuesday. Looking at the workout, I didn't think it was going to be that bad. 200, 400, 600, 800, 600, 400, 200 with rest varying from a jog back to the start to 2 minutes. It ended up being not that fun. I really do need to start running more than three days a week. Things would be so much easier.

It was pretty hot out during the work and I was sweating a ton. Well...I noticed when I got home that all that sweat did weird things to the sunburn on my chest. TMI, I know, but it made the skin bubble(?!) and then peel. So that looks awesome. High-neck shirts all week for me. It also itches, but stings at the same time. Must never forget sunblock again. 



Deb gets here in nine days! Oh, the planning. What are we going to do? The Emmy Awards happen while she's here. And I would LOVE to have an awards show party. But we have plans for 6:30 that night (even though that shouldn't take long) and I don't know that my friends would really be up for a Sunday night thing.

15 days

As of yesterday, it has been 15 business days since I submitted my paperwork to State Farm for all of the things that were stolen from my apartment. They have never reached out to me, but I have called them three times. First, with questions before I submitted my paperwork (this was when they told me they had 15 days to accept or reject my claim but that it "never takes that long"), then to see if they needed my new address since I was moving soon and finally last week to get an update on my claim status (this was when they told me they were just waiting on the police report which they had requested on August 16 and it only takes 3 or 4 days). Maybe they put a note in your file every time you call and make you wait that much longer before they finish your claim.  I just want to replace what was taken from me. According to Texas law, there are deadlines for insurance companies to act after you’ve filed a claim. They must accept or reject my claim within 15 days after m

Weekend

I love weekends. I wish they were longer...doesn't everybody? It was quite the lazy weekend too, being that it was so hot out. I ran Sunday...kind of. It was so hot, I hadn't had enough water, or food for that matter, so I cut my run short. And then we opted to eat out instead of cooking. I really need to cook this week. And maybe not drink. Except I have half a bottle of red left over from last night's Bachelorette finale fiesta with E.  Monday. Oh Monday. Cancelled my run once again when the car told me it was 102 outside. Can't wait to be able to run in the mornings. Last night was the Bachelorette season finale so E came over for dinner and some wine. I now love sweet potatoes and I may have had a little too much to drink. And then decided it was a good time to update my iOS on my iphone. I'm still trying to get my phone back to where it should be. It made me do a complete restore, then I couldn't restore from a current backup and when I was f

Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder?

The I can't believe it's been about seven months since the last time I posted a blog. Did you even notice I was gone? So much has happened in the time that I have been gone. I'm not sure I would be able to get the whole story out or even know where to start. The 2017 #HouMarathon, the twin's last chemo and radiation treatments, me accepting a new position with Susan G. Komen Houston, Aunt Sandy practically in remission, I lost Lola, I got Jewels, my second trip to Denver, my little sister's wedding...the list goes on and on. It's been a very rocky eight months. Personally, professionally, any way you want to look at. But I'm moving into a great place in my life right now and that's all I can ask for.  I was devastated just over a month ago when I lost Lola. She was having trouble breathing one night and by lunch the next day the vet had told me there was nothing they could do. Tumor in her left atrium. I  had to let her go that afternoon.
