Today is my last day of summer vacation. I started celebrating this day last night by staying up until after one o’clock researching ancestry to determine why my oldest daughter looks like a Native American. We figured out it might have to do with the “Black Dutch.” in Western Europe. But we’ll have to see. I then slept in this morning to 7:20. I was going to sleep until 8:00 but then realized it’s been days since I watered the lawn and even with the rain we’ve had it was going to die unless I did something this morning, so I’m watering. After getting the lawn watered I am going to the store and buying myself a new pair of walking shoes. Since the pair I have I’ve walked the tops from the bottoms and the tread is non-existent on the bottom of the shoe. I figure I’ve walked over a thousand miles in those shoes. They were great. I will miss them. I will be doing a 5K this weekend with 3 Fat Chicks. I clocked the big part yesterday. 2.2 miles in 44 minutes. Poor Jet. I think I about killed him. I will only take him on the small part, our usual mile loop. I’m excited to weigh tomorrow. I know I have lost some. I love backpacking. I can hardly wait to do it again. There’s the alarm to change the water. I better go and do it and then wake up my love.
