Well, tomorrow night is the big upgrade project. I have completed the last of the preparatory steps, so now we just wait for the witching hour, shut everyone out and work our magic. We’ve allocated 8 hours to complete it, but if we’re lucky, we might be able to get it done in 3.

Tonight I went to the gym for my last meeting with the personal trainer. We did all 10 of the last two sets of exercises which work the arms in a very detailed manner. My arms feel like they are about to fall off, and I’m sure I’ll be sore tomorrow. Not SO sore I can’t stand it but sore in a way that lets me know those muscles were worked and are getting stronger. Some of the things were a bit awkward due to my upper arms having been broken years ago and healing back crooked, but I managed to do them all although some had to be done with lighter weights. I was really late getting home from work — if Ken hadn’t stopped at the grocery store, he would have beaten me home.

I have a lot to do this weekend — finish getting the room ready for Chrystalyn’s visit, shop for some bedding for her bed, get the laundry done, clean house and groom a few dogs. On top of the project for work. Oh well, what’s sleep, right?

Did you see the comment from the guy from the purple martin society asking me about the grosbeaks? I’m so thrilled that someone like that found this little blog of mine and it’s endless prattle about birds and family junk. That might be my 15 minutes of fame 😛

Did you see the TV Land awards? Jonathan Winter was on and Ken and I were remarking on how well he looks and wondered how old he is. Believe it or not, he’s younger than Ma! He was born in 1925! He’s still funny, too. I stopped watching when Mike Myers came on — I don’t like him much at all.

Well, it’s late and I need to toddle off to bed.

Love to all,

Margaret
