To Do List

I'm building my to-do list in my head for our trip next week, and right about now is when I commit things to writing. Our flight is at 6:30am so there's no dilly dally time before leaving the house. We gotta leave by 5am, I think. Half hour to the airport, parking... well maybe earlier. Maybe we should stay at a hotel next to the airport. Doug will say no - thrifty guy that he is. We're close enough. We can do this.

I am somewhat annoyed by him booking a 6:30am flight, but, in his enthusiasm for us to get the most out of the trip he wanted to get to Denver super early. That and the fact he agreed to have us fly home on Friday instead of Sunday the week following, I'll acquiesce and let him have this one. 

But an 8am flight would have been perfectly cromulent.   

We get to Denver at 8:45ish local time, so early. We have the day there pretty much and I think he made reservations for lunch at a very special restaurant (more on that later). 

In the mean time. There's stuff to do. 

This weekend - yard work? We have a lot to do. Weed whacking. Get patio ready. Plants! Flowers! let's go! Laundry. Folding mostly. Go to Kohls? I need new pants/capris. Go to the mall? new hiking shoes/sandals? I wanted to get hiking poles and a rain jacket, so. Too late to order online I think so an in-person visit to the stores may be needed. 

This week - pack. Organize. Get ready. Pedicure? Haircut? Work stuff - tie up problems/issues. Set my out of office (ha! Already done). Brief the team on anything they need to know. Geoff: Groceries/meal plan. 

Refill the one prescription I need (not eligible to refill until tomorrow). Get the insurance card for proof of insurance for our car rental (learned that lesson in Oregon/Washington a few years back!) 

I also have been wanting to get my ears re-pierced. The holes are closed up. I stopped wearing earrings when Geoff was little, because he would rip them from my head and it was brutal. Now, 28 years later? Ready to wear earrings again. So maybe I'll find a place. Redo these puppies. 

And I've been having some right hip/knee pain, wondering if a massage will help or if this is skeletal instead of muscular? I should call my doctor maybe? Last year at this time I couldn't put pressure on my heel on my right foot and I didn't have plantar fasciitis, but there was something going on, and the massage therapist took 45 minutes with my feet and fixed it all. I haven't had a problem since then. Now, yeah, maybe it's the same sort of situation. I've been walking a ton more, and even jogging? so maybe muscles are tight. 

Maybe I'll treat myself and make that appointment. Or maybe I'll save that for when we get home. 

Today after work, I did take myself to the gym again. It was pouring so no outdoor walk for me. Doug managed to get Toffee out for a quick walk between waves of rain. I did 40 min. on the Treadmill and if I stuck it out another 5 it would have been 2+ miles, but my fitbit doesn't display how many steps or how many miles I've done - just the time. Until I sync with the app on my phone when the exercise is done. Duly noted. 45 should be 2. Stay the course, keep going. find the right song on the playlist. Push it. Hey. that may be the song to play! 

On the way home I called C to catch up and chat. Talk about houses, interest rates, jerks that don't pay their bills. The usual! 

Hi C. 

I also enjoyed looking at the pictures my sister posted from her trip to New Orleans for her nephew's graduation. We want to go together, when it isn't brutally hot. Reminded me of the trip Doug and I took a couple years ago (2022) and how hot and miserable it was. Still. So much fun. 

And that's the update for today. Digits! below our weather forecast for the holiday weekend. Not too shabby!
