It's been quite awhile since I signed on a said a few words. I'm still unemployed but fill by days with yard work, housework and generally wasting away the day. No Regrets! I was in Northern California for three weeks while my Mother was in the hospital for cancer surgery. The surgeons say they got it all. But, the recuperation is slow going. She was in a rehabilation home for 2 weeks and is now home getting along with the drop in nursing care. I'll be going up again to help out in the next few weeks.
While up there, my sisters and I got to the lake a couple of days for some kayaking, swimming, and general nature watching. We saw deer, bald eagles, geese, ducks and just about every other mammal in Northeral California.
I'm thankful for all the love and support of my family and friends. Hopefully, the rest of the summer will bring good fortune.

Just Another Lazy Friday ............
Jeez, I couldn't sleep past 6 a.m. so I got up and started laundry. Got my yoga workout done early too. It's a beautiful day out. The yard is full of my birdy friends and I'm about to fix my lunch.
It's really busy just being a housewife. Between cleaning, laundry, yard work, shopping & cooking, I manage to keep going. I even think I don't need my blood pressure pills anymore. Or the nutty pills either. Love not going to work everyday.
My next project is to paint the back workroom. I've got paint samples and have decided on a light yellow with blue & green accents.
In June, I hope to spend the time up at the ranch with my mother and sisters, brother, nieces & nephews and whomever else turns up. I know Mom has the paint for me to do her bedroom and I'm sure there's lots of other projects to catch up on up there. I can't wait :)
I'm hoping to get the bike rack attached to my Yukon this week and than I can go exploring the bike trails in San Diego County. It will also be nice to take it to the ranch and ride around there too.

Bald Eaglet Banding
Today, biologists are banding two of the eaglets from the Norfolk Botanical Gardens nest. The third chick is going to have a transmitter attached. What a cool live feed to watch. If you get a chance, check it out at the site: www.wvec.com/
Of course, since it is east coast, I had to get up at 6:30 a.m. to watch the proceedings. First time up this early for a while.

Just Another Day in the Life.............
Today is just another day of Wii workout, laundry, bird watching, and of course blogging. I'm getting a little bored with being home all the time. I need to get energized to get active. I have an appointment this afternoon and than a stop at the grocery store for essentials. I won't be eating after tonight for a lovely medical test on Thursday. Oh Joy :) I hate getting older. It sucks........ But, after this test I should be able to rest easy without any cancer scares.
My workout today was awesome! I'm catching on to the Yoga poses and find it very relaxing. Some of the bike riding and segway riding on the Wii is kind of fun. I just need to get the hang of it. My balance is getting better at catching those pesky fish on the Penguin Ice burg. And, my age was reduced from 75 to 39 today! Yipee Yipee Yipee. I feel so much younger already.

Wii Fit Plus Kicks My Butt
I finally made it through a 30 minute workout with my new Wii Fit Flus :)
Can't imagine doing this everyday, but I'm going to try. Need to get 10-15 lbs off by summertime. If the wind were not blowing so much, I'd be out riding my bike. But I think after the Wii workout, I wouldn't get to far. Tomorrow's another day. Now for some relaxing time.

Bicycle Ride Today
After a healthy lunch at Teri Cafe with my daughter, Ashley, I rode the Bike Trail along the river for an hour. That was quite a workout with the wind against me on the ride back to the house. It's a beautiful day for being outdoors. I heard and saw lots of birds on my ride and I come back to the house and have a whole bunch of Mourning Doves & Ringed Turtle Doves snacking in my yard. Speaking of snacking. I was going to whip up the last batch of brownie mix I have and stop with the sweets after they are gone. Motivated to loose some weight again.

It's A Brand New Day
I've been set free! Don't know what to do with my days. My brain would not let go last night so the little pill I had to take a 4 am let me sleep in until 10:30. Now I at least have to get dressed, empty the dishwasher and get something accomplished today before the hubby gets home. I spent at least the last hour drinking leftover coffee and watching Molly & her clutch. Can't get enought of watching nature. I'm going to work on getting my video feed fixed so that my birds can join ustream.
