Bad news: Scout has been fired! He managed to come to the side of the bed three times last night and want out. First, to get some “outside water” at 10:00 pm, he again announced his presence for a #1 & #2 session at 2:00 am and the coup de resistance, a 4:00 am visit to the “outside water” again!
Each time, I managed to get back in bed and get “warm” as the house was 60 degrees! Finally, at 7:30 am, he again made his presence known with a short, mild “BARK,” I knew this would be his morning visit to the patio and do his elephant check!!
Scout has his daddy trained because instead of coming back into the house each time, he stands at the door (knowing I might be in my birthday suit) and awaits the sound of the “treat bowl” being rattled, my hand going into the bowl, and my hand coming out with “a treat.”
Then, with the spring of a caffeinated grasshopper, he bounces back inside, only to trip over the doormat like it’s a ninja and land face-first in his treat. Now, he’s not just getting a snack; he’s auditioning for the next big slapstick comedy!
We went to the gum, although I took it easy. I wanted to eliminate my cough, which comes when I get heated up, so I told my trainer to take it easy! What does the word “easy” mean to you?
She then had me do squats, leg presses, lunges, deadlifts, leg extensions, leg curls, push-ups, pull-downs, bent-over rows, shoulder presses, shoulder shrugs, tricep extensions, bicep curls, and crunches.
My calves, quadriceps, hamstring, gluteus, lower back lats, trapezius, abdominals, pectorals, deltoids, triceps, biceps, and forearms were dealt with in an extreme manner. After thinking about it, I am sure some of these items only exist in the female body!
We escaped with our lives at 10:00 am, just in time to take revenge by buying two bagels with cream cheese. We drove by the gym and waved our bagels high in the air; phooey on you!!
Nienner Nienner Nienner !!
We made it home in just enough time to clean the house before the house cleaners came! That means putting up the Christmas plates and unloading/loading the dishwasher.
While they were here, we escaped to Mary’s Loft, where she could paint, and I could watch YouTube technology movies.
We just piddled around the rest of the day!
One question always asked of parents is , “Do YOU know where your kids are???” Well…. we know where are son and grandson are!! Desert rats!
Zack & Joe!
The rest of the evening we worked on the upcoming events calendar which is getting fuller every day! Oh my, we have season tickets to the Segerstrom theater as well as South Coast Repertory Theater plus we are getting ready for a Valentine’s Day Cruise and our dance clubs and the Elks are already buzzing with activity. add to the the gym workouts and painting classes, eek!
We watched some movies and I got the website ready for the New Years Eve activities. We crashed around 9:30 pm. We are looking forward to tomorrow as we are going dancing with Bob and Donna at the Elks to the music of Ronnie the DJ.
