Thanks for the well wishes gang. My house is fine The roof AC unit was pulled off the store where we get our pool stuff and thrown into the window at Target--a good way across 6 lanes of I-95, another shopping area...parking lot...Only debris I saw left this morning was siding in front of the pool store. Good thing we got our summers worth of chemicals a few weeks ago when he had them on sale!

Traffic sucks...yesterday morning there was an accident in south bound 95. I was headed north. All the damn rubber neckers had traffic at a near stand still! It took me 25 minutes to drive about a 10 mile stretch of road (from Chippenham parkway area to Maury St)

My bike is back, and she's pretty again. He taught me how to clean the chain and rear rings right so it won't get gunky again. He moved the computer to the aero bars and put on a small headlight too. I bought a summer cycling jersey and a reflective jacket that I'll wear for the early AM runs too.

OMG... another one of my communication pet peeves!!

Also, today I sent out an email to all of the instructors begging asking for subs for my classes tomorrow. So I'm trying to check the computer often because I am obviously concerned about not having coverage. Everytime I see someone's responded to my email I have a glimmer of hope.

Can anyone explain why people feel the need to respond to tell me they can't cover for me??? The email specifically states: "please let me know if you can help"... nowhere does it say "please tell me what your plans for the day tomorrow are".

She probably doesnt 'know' what she is allowed to make a decision on and what is out of her area....

She may have been micro-managed in the past too... generally proving that you trust her to get on with things might start to make a difference - good luck!

Judi!

I'm glad everything is ok - how scary

woo hoo on the pretty bike and

south 95, is that the same south 95 I drive on every day when I come home from work (obviously further north....lol)

 

enders_shadow - 2008-04-30 8:05 AM On tap for today - Already got a run in...and not going to get anything else...my body is angry at me. Tomorrow I will rest. (If you see me anywhere near my running shoes, please shoot me.) Work this morning. Lunch with co-workers to celebrate end of the year. More work. Afternoon planning meeting for next year. Home with Sugar Daddy & the Monkeys. To bed early and wake up late (ok, later than 5 am)...

Yes I live in Mississippi, but NO I don't have a gun.  I can't help you stay away from the running shoes.  But why would you want to?  Running is fun, running is fun, running is fun.

I got in a little run this morning, too, and Wednesday means spin class after work.  Ahhh...  Even have a swim scheduled after that.  Do I need another hobby?

enders_shadow - 2008-04-30 8:51 AM I know running is fun fun fun. That is my problem. I would run every day if my body didn't get mad at me for it. I'm a very bad rester. You live in MS and don't own a gun? Aren't they going to take away your Southerner card? (Heck, I grew up with a pair of hippie parents who wouldn't let us play with toy guns, but my dad has a gun to shoot the muskrats & snakes in his pond...I figured it was a southern thing).

Morning Nibbs!

It's going to be another long day for me I'm afraid - I'll try and pop in once in a while - I really need to try and get out of here by 6 tonight so I can go spin and maybe run...........

maybe run -

I'd always rather swim or bike than run, which means I need to run more - Maybe Bill and I should start a personal challenge - everytime he swims I'll run and vice versa

we'll either both never run or swim or we'll get a lot better at it
