Happy Halloween! So nice having Laura at home. Gonna start the eggnog pancakes as soon as I finish here. Life is good.
Have discovered that the ballet DVD is more difficult when I'm not regularly hiking hills. The thigh muscles for those deep plies are likely the same ones for digging into the steeper parts of the hills and they are no longer in peak condition.
As a wise woman once said, today is Halloween so candy is allowed.

Woke around 8:30 and dressed to go pick up the pager right away. Rick said he got one call around 5:30 pm but it was more an informational call easily handled so I don't feel too guilty. Sure was nice to have the freedom to spend time in Madison last night before heading back. Unfortunately I didn't get to breakfast til about 9:45 so I was starving!
Anxious to try out the Wii Fit today.

Had to stop my Pilates mat before the halfway point, right before "put the triangle under your butt". I was having a lot of difficulty with any roll-up type moves or lifting and lowering my legs due to my lower back, and it was becoming more obvious to me that the difficulty was coming from an over-filled bowel. My schedule, especially at work, has been so hectic this week that my body never really relaxed enough to allow things to happen. When I got home, I was either busy or too tired. I came upstairs around 5:30 and unloaded the dishwasher and made coffee so I'd have a few minutes extra to sit at the computer with my coffee. It worked.
Best morning at work all week. Didn't have a form I was supposed to hurriedly run out to someone to sign at 8 am and the office is closed so it will have to wait til Monday. My 10:30 was not at home so I could leave the planner with her son and have time for a break. (Ran to Target and bought myself a Wii Fit on a good sale; they have been out of them all week.) We hopefully will be able to leave Point around 4 pm today to pick you up, get supper, and perhaps a TJ/Costco run.
We'll be on the road at 4:15 pm; will give you a call when we arrive.

Looking forward to having you home this weekend. Hugs!
Lower back uncomfortable again this morning, but I think it's because I haven't had a really good poop for several days. I hope that situation resolves so I will know if that is the major contributing factor.
I'd love to do a bike ride this weekend, but realistically we'll have to keep it in the area because unfortunately I'm on call again. Rick has generously offered to take the pager for me on Friday night so I can come to pick you up, eat out, and maybe even find time for a Costco/TJ run without worrying about getting a call, but I will pick the pager up again on Saturday morning.

Nasty sounding wind out there, supposed to remain through the day as I understand. Hopefully Thurs and Fri weather will improve as promised. First night of on-call was gratefully quiet; hoping for more of the same through the week.
What are your plans for Halloween? I understand that Michael and Pete plan to come to Madison for Halloween also. Apparently they did this last year, too.
I see Stevens Point made the list at #6 of the top small towns to raise a family in America. Nice to have confirmation of what I've always known.
We would love to have you here for Halloween weekend. We could come down to pick you up between 6-6:30ish Friday evening, maybe catching supper in Madison before coming back. We have choir Sunday evening and I have to hand out treats to Trick-or-Treaters in the afternoon, so Dad would need to run you back after church and lunch with Grandma. She will be delighted to see you! Let me know if this works.
We have to be careful with all these accolades - Stevens Point will become famous and overrun with settlers!
Comfort food for supper. Nice on a nasty, windy day.

Felt wonderful to get a full massage last night. She really had to work to get some kinks out of my shoulders. I had Kim at the Wellness Spa since Mary has left to work out of her home and I still have some gift certificates to use up. I would definitely schedule with Kim again. She is quiet while she works and uses good pressure.

Back is feeling a bit better today, thankfully. Only really noticed it at the beginning of reverse curls, got better as the exercise progressed.
I see that I start on-call this week. Hope it's a relatively quiet week in Portage Co.
Have you started your cooking get-togethers with Rowan again this semester? You always used to cook such yummy meals together.
Busy, stressful day at work, but God is good - I was able to schedule a massage at 6:30 tonight. I may possibly be human again.

Actually it was from watching movie 3 that the question of the wand came to me. Since it appeared that the wand was required for Peter to transform, one would assume it was necessary to transform back so the animagus would want to keep it near. Of course, if the wand is necessary to transform, then how would Sirius have managed it in Azkaban where presumably their wands were taken from the prisoners. A mystery...
Really enjoyed staying home watching a movie by the fire last night. I'm sorry we couldn't do the Moon Walk, but it really isn't any fun walking in the rain. If only they would have scheduled it Friday night when the weather here was lovely and the moon very visible.
I cantor this morning at 10:15, an unusual occurrence as I'm usually scheduled for Saturday evenings. I hope my voice is okay. It hasn't seemed to suffer in spite of all the coughing from the cold, and even that is beginning to subside.
Majorly tired after a busy erranding afternoon. Need nap.
Nothing like hot chocolate to warm your innards when you're chilly.

Dad and I are planning to evaluate the weather before deciding whether to participate and/or shorten the planned 12-mile Moon Walk Wisconsin tonight. We've done it in the rain last year and most of the first year and it lacks fun. The route is pretty straight and uninteresting, so it's really just about the exercise. I really don't feel like exercising in cold drizzle again so we may opt out if the rain continues.
It was very nice to sleep in til about 8:30 this morning. I'm looking forward to not being too scheduled this weekend.
Screw walking even if it isn't raining steadily. We're enjoying it too much to just have a quiet evening in. Gonna make barbecues and bake a spaghetti squash and relax.
Watched Goblet of Fire in front of a fire in the fireplace. Very nice. Hey, I have a Harry Potter question for you. When a wizard becomes an animagus, what becomes of his wand while he is transformed?

Came home a couple hours early from work yesterday in serious need of some rest. Combination of lingering cold symptoms and overall weariness from a very active vacation has left me pretty wiped out this week. I stretched out on the couch with a large cup of green tea and the "Prisoner of Azkaban" movie which was extremely relaxing. Hopefully most of my energy will be back today.
I hope you are feeling better with relief for your neck and no more dizziness. It's so frustrating when docs have no idea what is wrong. Take good care of yourself - wish I could send you some of the homemade chicken soup to heal your ills.

PLEASE get thee to the doctor today to find out what's wrong. The spontaneous dizziness doesn't sound good and is probably related to the overall yucks you've been having for days. Might you have a sinus infection? Ear infection? Please let me know.
I know that I'm really looking forward to a little opportunity to rest this weekend, at least to sleep in on Saturday morning. We're signed up for Moon Walk Wisconsin in the evening, going for the 12-mile walk this year. We can register at 5 pm; it's supposed to start at 6 pm but last year, they apparently let everyone start out as soon as they had registered since it's non-competitive. Better to get done earlier, particularly if it's rainy again like last year. Unfortunately, Saturday's forecast is for showers.
Hope you got some answers and treatment finally and that you are quickly on the road to recovery. Hugs!!!!

Almost forgot my dentist appointment this morning. Sat down with my cereal and milk and noticed the note that the appointment was in 4 minutes.

Trying to get back to somewhat of a normal routine. Managed 50 min of exercise this morning, but I'm out of my usual endurance shape so I didn't finish the video. I will work my way back up again soon. I'm still not completely over this cold so I get tired.
Hopefully things at work will be fairly mellow this week to give me some time to reacclimate. I really don't feel like jumping in feet first.

Seems a little weird to be eating breakfast before 4 am. As usual, sleep was less than deep last night before vacation. I can rest, but my mind is geared up to go. I think we're as well prepared as we can be. Talked to Grandma last night and she's fine except she's eaten her Dove Promises faster than usual so she will have to do without and eat her other chocolate til we get back.
We will stop and pick you up around 7 am so you can take us to the airport and have the car. We'll call you as we get closer to the city to confirm since we haven't heard back from you yet. Ok, now I checked Twitter and know you'll be expecting us. See you in a few hours.

Can't believe we're leaving tomorrow. We booked this trip so long ago it had stopped feeling real, and now it will be here and gone in the blink of an eye. Finally got the ugly old toenail polish removed this morning; hoping to find time this evening to put on a pretty new color for vacation. Hope you enjoy the Daily Expedition Reports from Lindblad. We will email when we get the chance. Remember that is the best way to get in touch with us once we're on the ship. Hopefully there will be no emergencies for you to tend to while we're away. If you can find time to give Grandma a call to reassure her once or twice, it would be appreciated. Maybe also to check in with Michael.
Excellent that you can keep the car, duty free! We should probably arrange to pick you up at your place around 7ish. You can drop us off at the airport, then take the car to its temporary home. Let me know if that sounds workable.
Why is today a bad day?
I'm getting tired of delayed lunch hours! Today I had to get someone admitted to the hospital so I didn't get free til 1:30 pm.
Love you!

This was a "don' wanna!" morning, but I'm proud of myself that I got up and exercised anyway. It's never so bad once you get moving, and I used to have a hard time getting up even more frequently when I didn't get up early to exercise. I just need to remind myself of that when I "don' wanna".
Hope today won't be as long as yesterday. I'd like to head into vacation feeling reasonably well-rested.
I do not like having to wait til 2:45 pm when I'm getting a little dizzy to get lunch.

Killed the patriarch of centipedes and a grandaddy spider in the basement this morning during exercise time. Why do they have to get so big?
Wow, it's nice to see bright sunshine! I found out why I seem to be the only one in my unit unable to download a piece of software required to run a Civil Rights course online. It appears that the software is not updated for my brand new Windows 7 computer. I was able to get IT to set me up as an Admin for Rick's computer since he's on vacation, so this afternoon I should be able to sign in there to complete the course.
Wow, those Costco chickens have a lot of meat on them. I suspect I'll need to freeze the remainder for soup when we return. We've scarcely dented it.
Food:
7:15 am Morning bun, 101 g raspberries, 163 g strawberries, 1/4 med cantaloupe, coffee
11:45 am Vanilla soy shake, Costco energy bar, large peach, 142 g Concord grapes
2:30 pm 100 cal pack Sun Chips, 1 LifeSaver
4:30 pm 2 oz caramel corn
7:45 pm 3.35 oz rotisserie chicken breast, 1 1/2 c watermelon chunks 10 oz skim milk
8:15 pm 40 g Indian corn (nummers!)

I'm sorry we forgot to share some of the Concord grapes with you. I guess everyone was too tired to think of it. I'm looking forward this week to eating like it was summer. This morning's breakfast included three different fruits - strawberries, raspberries, and Concord grapes. I got so excited about all the fruit, I forgot about my morning bun which will have to wait for another meal.
Mostly packed this afternoon; makes me feel better since I expect the work week will fly by. Gave Grandma your phone number and told her you have access to the car in an emergency, but don't expect she'll call on you unless it's dire. Do check in by phone once or twice while we're gone if you can.
Mmmm, Costco rotisserie chicken sure is yummy!

Haven't heard from you yet whether you're doing the century ride today. We'll head down to Madison some time after lunch regardless, so call when you are avaiable. We'll probably try to call you, but I assume if you're riding, you won't be able to answer. We'll figure it out.
Food:
8:45 am Trader Joe's oatmeal, 1/2 c frozen wild blueberries, .7 oz chopped walnuts, 1 tsp brown sugar, 2 oz light original soy milk, 1/4 med cantaloupe, coffee
11:45 am Molasses cookie

Wow, it's already October! Next week, we leave on our big trip. Gotta get serious about packing soon.
Skipped exercise this morning to rest an achy body. If the weather stays nice, we'll hike tonight so I'll still get a workout. If not, maybe I just need a little R&R.
I read the last week of Yourmometer last night. Noted that you titled the one about sagging body parts "Just Like Your Mom". Thanks.
I'll be watching for the updates on the Century ride. If you don't ride, would you still run the 5k? Regardless, we'll plan to come down and spend some time with you as you can.
Too drizzly and chilly for hiking. Went out for an early fish fry at Clancy's in Custer before the crowds hit. Old crowd at that hour.
I didn't snack this afternoon, so I'm treating myself to second dessert. One last piece of my homemade apple crisp.
Food:
7:15 am Trader Joe's multigrain flaxseed cereal, 1/2 c light original soy milk, 1/4 large cantaloupe, coffee
11:45 am Chocolate soy shake, Flavorite whole wheat waffle, 1 tsp soft margarine, 2 eggs, large apple, dusting cinnamon sugar
5:15 pm 6 oz baked cod, 3/4 c garlic roasted baby red potatoes, 1/2 c corn, 12 oz pear cider, 1/2 piece strawberry mango pie (on a very thick homemade crust)
6:15 pm Piece apple crisp
