"Today is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad
in it." ~Psalm 118:24
I about broke down in CrossFit this morning as I was not
able to do the workout because I pushed to hard last week. Even by taking the weekend off, my hip was
still bothering me this morning. So, I
had Jeremy modify it for me. I was able
to do pull-ups with the small blue band instead of the thick purple or black
bands. This is a big improvement which
is why I like CrossFit. There are always
ways to improve on my personal best
and not compare to anyone else. It’s a
great feeling to be getting pushed and motivated on a daily basis in those
early morning classes. This is just want
I needed during this stage in my life.
It is about the only thing that is keeping me sane at this point in
time.
After our Monday Morning Meeting, I went to pick up a part
for Bridgeport. On my way out of the
parking lot at work, Whitney called me.
What a great and welcomed moment!
I had been really wanting to catch up with her and had not made it a
priority to do so. I am so thankful that
she decided to pick up the phone and call me today. There is nothing better than a great catchup
session with a girlfriend! She is
someone who knows me through and through as we grew up together. So wonderful.
I am so very thankful for my family and friends and all the
support they give me and have given me throughout the years. It is incredible to such close friends.
Today, my steer got out so we had to round him up with the pickup. We charged the fence tonight. As Heath was tossing them some hay, he found
a petrified snake in the hay.
Awesome. My favorite. When we got home, I noticed that my chickens
were outside of their coup (but still within their fence). Turns out
the rainy drizzle had iced up and my girls couldn’t get up their ramp to get
inside and get warm. I had to lift each of them up
into their house so they could get warm.
Oh the life of a country girl!
Never a dull moment!
Tonight, exhausted and beat, I took a hot bath (hot water
heater is broken) and cooked some fresh eggs from the girls. Then, I decided to paint a few more of my old
outdoor faucet handles for my kitchen knobs.
After doing so, I was looking through my closet to find something to
wear for Wednesday in CrossFit as they told us to dress up for class for Halloween. While doing so, Briggs came in and laid down
on my white carpet. I kindly told him he
was very dirty. So, he quietly and politely
got up and left the room. I few minutes
later I went upstairs to get ready for bed and he had taken it upon himself to
go upstairs and lay in his bed. By the
time I had gotten up there, he had already started giving himself a much needed bath. And some people don’t thing animals are
smart. He is awesome!
