Its been a while since I've posted. Things have been crazy busy for us getting the basement finished, getting the paperwork to State Farm, etc. We did go to Nebraska Furniture Mart (State Farm's choice, not mine) and order much of the replacement furniture that we'd need. They are to deliver it this Tuesday. Much of it is "some assembly required" so Thomas will be busy putting together everything before he can actually use it.
Tomorrow is my 10 mile bike ride for the Tour de Cure for the American Diabetes Assn. I raised $260 for the organization! :) I should get a t-shirt and another, larger gift - I plan to get the "messenger bag" that they have. It looks cool and I can never have too many bags!
A week from today is my triathlon! YIKES! I am as prepared as I'm going to be, I think. I plan to do my best, and my goal is to finish the race. I'm still trying to heal up my left gastroc that seems to get pulled when I run - but not every time, and its not consistent. I haven't done any "land" running for the past month! I've been running on a machine (not treadmill) for the past month. I can run for quite some time on it without cardio difficulties, but the impact of running on the ground is what tends to pull my calf - and kill my cardio. HOPEFULLY, it will be okay enough for me to get through the 2.5 miles on Saturday! If not, well, I'll walk it this time and there's always next year! Thomas will be taking some pics, so I'll post them if I don't look like a dying beached whale!
Oh, after the triathlon, we are staying at a B&B in Pierce, NE. After that we are going to Sioux Falls, SD for a couple of days to relax and do some rock climbing on Monday. It will be a short vacation this year, but at least we are getting away for a couple of days!
My office is still torn up and not finished! :( I have given up on the original crew, I haven't heard from them in about 3 weeks. I have asked the High School Industrial Tech teacher to come help, and he said he would! We are meeting there on Wednesday. I'm getting a crash course in door hanging, cutting in doors, and trim! However, he thinks that by the end of Wednesday, the doors will be done and the front will be trimmed & ready to paint! Then we'll meet the following week and hopefully finish the trim so that all that is left is painting! I don't enjoy painting, and this will be my 3rd time painting that office, but hopefully this will be the LAST time as well!
So that's what's going on in my life. I'll post updates about the triathlon after next week!
