I am soooooo far behind on my posting. I heartily apologize to those of you who may have been checking for new posts recently. I'm going to get back up to date right now.


MEMORIAL DAY
Part 1

I met Liz at 8:00 for our walk. It was already really warm, but we got on the Heights walking trail right away. It takes us just about an hour to walk from her place to the south end of the trail and back again. It is about 3 miles and we move at a fairly sedate pace.

By the time we got back at 9:00 it was hot and we were both sweating. I'm half convinced that we have as much condensation as real sweat, but that would be difficult to prove.

Luckily for us, Liz's parents were visiting, so her mom made us breakfast. I love it when someone cooks for me - it doesn't happen very often. We ate our wonderful breakfast and then sat around and talked for a couple of hours. It was very relaxing to unwind after our walk this way.

Part 2

Sunday morning came around way too early. I had plans to go to Galveston to see friends who were at their beach house, so I wanted to get an early start on my walk. Unfortunately, my body wasn't cooperating and I figured, I didn't have to work on Monday, so I had another day to walk and really could sleep in and not walk on Sunday.

Part 3

I spent Sunday with my friends in Galveston and the traffic coming back was miserable. I didn't get home until 1:00 am. I dutifully went right to bed and set the alarm for 5:00 am so I could get up and walk. I didn't. I turned off the alarm and slept until 10:30. I needed the sleep far more than I needed to walk. I did feel really guilty though.
