Tomorrow, Joe starts his senior year of high school, so it’ll be back to waking up earlier, and more time for a daily blog. I’ve picked up a couple new hobbies lately, so I’ve been spending a lot of free time relearning old hobbies (guitar) and learning new things (bo staff martial arts). Two songs I’ve learned on the guitar that I like to play so far: Eight Days a Week, and Take Me Home, Country Roads. I think James is sick of them both. I bought a cheap acoustic and also a cheap electric guitar for starters — a far cry from the 12 string acoustic/electric Takamine I had in college, but still they sound okay.
The bo staff is very recent, and I bought it after James bought the custom light sabers. I can do a basic twirl on the light saber (I am SO very nerdy), and I’ve learned a couple really good twirls on the bo staff. A martial artist who is also a nerd recommended learning the staff before attempting stuff with the saber, so that’s what I’m doing. I bought one for James, too, and I’m hoping he’ll fight me soon. Lol.
I also got a Fitbit Alta unexpectedly in a gift bag from Amazon from an anonymous sender. So, thank you, anonymous! I love it. I’ve been wanting to track my sleep and my workouts for a while now, but had forgotten that Fitbits exist.
Joe is still working on pics from New Zealand, but I hope to have some ready to post soon.
Work is going well, and I think I mentioned I’ve been given some extra responsibility to help me get enough hours during the slow season to maintain my health insurance. So, I’m happy with that and am basically answering voicemails and calling patients when they have questions about upcoming surgeries. Since I have experience in surgery-related stuff, it’s easy. And it really helps out the staff in our other offices—they can’t keep up with the 2200 voicemails they receive every month.
James’s birthday is Thursday. I don’t really know what to get him since he has pretty much everything he wants. But I know we’ll have a nice dinner and cake. And I’m still trying to figure out something special to buy him...maybe some ear plugs so he doesn’t have to listen to Country Roads all the time. :)
I have some recent pics to post, but I’ll have to post them in a bit when I get on my computer.
Happy Tuesday!
