Woo ho! its Tuesday! And my first day of work for the week. I like short work weeks. Next week will be the same! Woo ho!
*****
At last weeks therapy session, Vickie was pleased with both of our progress and is recommending we step down to every other week. I imagine that in a month or so, we will be done with therapy. Things at home are better and will continue to get better as we both work on our lessons. Woo ho!

I get to have Jakes for a WHOLE weekend! He has been with his dad for the past 3 because of vacation and regularly scheduled weekends. Its going to be weird having him all weekend. A good weird though!

Neicy is back from Vacation. She was gone for 10 days to North Dakota where she grew up and her family still resides. I missed her! Definitely getting water ice at the Farmers Market this week to celebrate. :)

I haven't seen my dad as much lately as I had been seeing him. Kathy told me yesterday that they changed one of his meds and she sees that he seems more tired and gets dizzy easier. Gonna have to talk to him about that!

Speaking of Kathy. In June she had a mastectomy and has been recovering nicely. Yesterday, she and I went shopping for bras for her. For the first time in 2 months, Kathy was able to wear a boob shirt! She was so funny, going around shaking her boobs in every one's faces. I almost pee'd my pants when she did it to Dad! HA!

How do people wear the ear buds? You know, those ear phones that you stick in your ears while listening to your iPod? I can't get any to stay in my ear. I spend most of my bike ride tucking them back in. Frustrating! Any suggestions to help? Or suggestions of a better type of headphone? Thanks!

Speaking of iPods, I need to update my playlist for while I'm biking. The one I have is pretty good and I have gotten used to it but I need to switch it up and challenge myself a bit more. Of course, in my last ride, I looked down and I was cruising along at 17 mph and wasn't winded! I love those upbeat songs! I get so into the music, I don't realize that I am peddling to the beat. The faster the beat, the faster I peddle. Pretty cool until I have gone 3 miles and can't feel my legs. LOL
Okay, Friends, go Random-up with the Un Mom for more Tuesday Randomness! Happy Tuesday!
lol. feeling your legs is a good thing...earbuds hurt my ears...glad to hear that therapy is going well and a step back is a good sign...have fun this weekend!
ReplyDeleteThe best ear-buds that I have found, are really soft rubber ones. They stay in your ears no bother and sort of feel like the ear-plugs that you get while flying.
ReplyDeleteI was just reading an article about how music affects your heart-beat, if you listen to say Heavy Metal, then your blood-pressure and heart-beat increase, but if you listen to something more gentler, then it lowers them.
This was related to Road-Rage, but I expect the same could be applied to riding your bike.
I too, tend to keep to the beat of the music too....even counting the beats of the rhythm!
I laughed when I read about the ear bud thing because I have the same problem! They keep falling out when I jog, so annoying! I don't know, maybe we need a different size?
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you guys are doing well with your therapy!
I can get the ear buds to stay in but after a while, they start to hurt. That's a good thing that therapy has been cut back...big progress! :)
ReplyDeleteI can't keep ear buds in my ears either. I just figured I was a putz and didn't know how to do it right, kinda like setting the clock in my car. As I get older I don't get a lot of things. Congrats on the therapy progress.
