total slacker week..
This week, the only form of exercise that I got was when i got to visit my buddy Heishman in Durham...We walked on the East Campus of Duke and walked an easy 3.5 mi...had a hard time walking any other time this week because it was so fricken hot and I was at the mercy of my mom's senior apt complex in maryland. The gym closing at 8 pm each night did not work well with my schedule. I have to admit it was nice being a slacker this week. I am about to fall back into the groove tomorrow though, and walk 14 mi and then 7 on Sun. I'm excited. Other than hanging out with Heishman in Durham..nothing really exciting happened in my world.
Visting my mom is always fun and interesting. Its stressful, because she has dementia and sometimes has meltdowns about stuff that anyone else would be able to handle. Kind of got into it a bit after she asked me 30 times, what the red sauce that came with the breadsticks was...but, I love her all the same and she has to love me when my short fuse goes off. Thats what her dementia is like..its not forgetting people, because for the most part she remembers everyone..she has problems with remembering what's she doing, where she's going, and what things are.
We made plans to go to the National Gallery of Art on Wed, didn't go because we struggled getting ready to go..its alright...I can go again..perhaps I can get a friend to come with me for a visit and we can go off..Side note, I don't know why I haven't visited the National Gallery yet...its free and filled with some of my fav artists...Vermeer, Cassat, Picasso, etc...why haven't I gone? And HELLO, its free!?!?!? So, yeah, can someone please come with me? I'll even throw in another free museum that they seem to have a plenty of in DC..I'm partial to Art and Natural History Museums..but, willing to go to others.
Other than get my hopes up about seeing art, the only other thing that I accomplished was Reading. My aunt gave me a stack of her books to read...which I loved! I read the book that I have been trying to get my hands on for at least a month in less than a day. I read The Girl who Chased the Moon by Sarah Addison Allen..fantastic NC author. love her. In fact going to include link to her website..
Upcoming events to look foward/ dread...
-Fundraiser for the Avon Walk @ Simonetti's Pizza
-Return to Work on the 19th..lots of trainings, mtgs, conferences...FUN Stuff...actually looking foward to it..ready to be back in a routine.

-attempting to find time to make a trip to the beach...looking foward, hoping, praying that it will happen.
-Avon Walk for Breast Cancer..Oct 23-24....still so much fundraising to do!
