Slow Week

I'm not sure what to do with myself now that the house is on the market. The house stays clean, it's incredible how easy it is when you only have to do a tiny bit each day. That and I don't feel like making a bit mess because I can't keep it there over night. Thus, no more quilting for a while. What do you do during the evenings if there isn't a quilt to sew? Work out! Ok, I realise this is a lot different and so far, not as much fun. But, I've done two nights in a row so far and looking forward to tonight's routine. Dan and I started Power 90X. Dan did it for a month before caddie season started and now that the season is winding down we decided to try it again. This time I'm going to do it with him. For whatever reason, I didn't do the first day with him on Monday. Tuesday was brutal! It was all jumping and as my family knows, I don't/can't jump. I think I laughed at myself more than anything. Dan and I did it together which helped a lot. I kept it easy because I wanted to be able to do another one the next day. Yesterday was shoulders and arms. We haven't made the investment yet to buy me any weights. I didn't want to spend the money on something I wasn't going to use. I have some 3 pound weights and that worked to get the routine done. I'm not nearly as sore in my upper body today as I am in my lower from Tuesday. Tonight, Yoga. I hope I can move by then. I'm actually really looking forward to yoga. I've never done it before but my understanding is that it a lot of stretching and balance. Two things I could very much use more of.
Dan and I are anxious to get out West so we decided to drop the price on the house. So far there hasn't been a single showing. Is it because it's slow out there or because we are too highly priced? I know it's only been 3 weeks but I'm ready to go. We have also started talking about going before the house sells or finding a friend to rent for a year or two. I would rather sell and be done but sometimes you need to compromise.

  1. I'm laughing as I picture you attempting to jump! :) That's so cute. Hang in there with being patient regarding your house...

  2. Working out is good! Hey, I looked for your quilt at the state fair but I didn't find it. How does that process work?

  3. It was in one of the long cases in the middle of the room in the back across from the Christmas stuff. I wasn't thrilled about the display but it was fun to have it there. The process was super easy. You have to pre-register (free), I think it opened in May?? check the mnstatefair website for date. Then I dropped it off the week before the fair and picked it up two days after the fair. That was it. It was free, and they gave it a grade and if you win a prize they pay you when you pick it up. You should try it with something. It's fun.
