Happenings Lately

Posted on by

[-] Got my taxes done early using TurboTax.Â? For the first time since Jon was ordained, the government is giving us money back which is going toward our April estimate.
[-] The hyperextended knee is pretty well healed up.Â? Now if I could figure out what I did to the other knee…
[-] Engaged in some retail therapy in Great Falls yesterday.Â? Hit up Bath & Body Works, Lady Foot Locker (replaced my 3 year old running shoes with ones that actually *have* arch support), Victoria’s Secret, Wally World, and 2-J’s (like Trader Joe’s).Â? Also had dinner with my aunt and uncle.
[-] Holy Week has started.Â? Jon preached a perfectly depressing sermon today on how Jesus CHOSE to suffer and didn’t take the easy way out and we sang “Ah Holy Jesus”.Â? Yes… I like the somberness and the really OLD hymns we get on Good Friday and during the rest of Holy Week — I know I’m weird.
[-] I’ll be in Chico Hot Springs from the 25th to 28th for the synod pastor’s conference (I get to go chill this year) and I have the Clergy Spouse Retreat from April 4th to 6th so I’ll be getting around the state quite a bit.

This Past Week or So

-Hyperextended my knee last Saturday kickboxing (OK… doing taebo — it counts!) so I’ve been in various states of knee braces and such.Â? So far, the ACE bandage wins.Â? (Back to having Billy Blanks kick my @$$ as of today.)
-Working strange schedules to make my 40 hours this week despite my quarterly doctor’s appointment/lecture on my sugars/cholesterol and dealing with Montana bureaucracy.
-Eating waaaaaay too much Subway as I work weird hours and need food fast on the way home.
-Just finished Resurrection by Tucker Malarkey — I recommend it for those who likedÂ? The DaVinci Code.Â? It’s the same kind of thing except based around the discovery of the Gnostic Gospels at Nag Hammadi.

I Am Ninja! Rawr!

Pretend that there’s a lovely picture of Edda, OK?

For the last two weeks or so, I’ve been getting up at 6 and doing taebo.Â? I started with the Basic tape again and switched back to Advanced after a couple days — Basic is a good workout but Advanced is more fun.Â? 🙂

The interesting thing is that if I don’t drag my butt out of bed and do it, I miss it and I can’t wait until the evening when I can do a Basic one.Â? It’s funny because I HATE getting up and yet I’ll drag myself out of bed to do this before work.

Oh yes… 3 weeks without soda.Â? My A1C had better darn well be good this time!!!!
