Max: Just Another Day
I got to sleep around 1 AM last night. For almost a year I did the 9-5 thing and never managed to fall into a good sleep pattern. For less than a month I have been working 11:30-8 and I have settled right into it. I guess this proves I am nocturnal after all. That'll be great after we have a kid. I slept quite well and was up around 9:30.
I pretty much spent my morning reading. Around 1, the estimator from the insurance company came to look at my car. Did I mention that I was rear-ended last week? The damage is superficial and the car is still drivable. It's just ugly and I can't get into my trunk. It is going to cost at least $2500 to fix. Now we just have to wait for the insurance company to decide if they wish to admit it is the other driver's fault and pay the whole thing or to try to blame us thus meaning we have to cough up $500.
After that, the Mrs and I took the dog for a walk. It is rather sad how out of shape I am. I used to be able to at least handle the rigors of a casual walk. Today I was getting worn out after maybe 20 minutes. I guess it is time to start walking more and using the damn exercise bike again.
We came home and I made dinner. I bbq'd some pork steaks and made some rather good corn. Well, at least I thought it was good, Laura thought it was too spicy. I put a couple tablespoons of butter in a pot with two cups of frozen corn. I added a heavy pinch of kosher salt and fresh ground pepper, about a tablespoon of minced dried onion, a pinch of dried crushed red pepper (like you find in the shakers at pizza joints) and a quarter cup of chicken broth. I put it over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the corn was heated through.
After that, I read for a while, watched American Idol then hit the grocery store to pick up a few items we missed yesterday (our own dime, this time). Now I think I am going to go grab my book and chill until bedtime.

I'm really enjoying these posts, Luv, even though I was there for most of it, it's fun to read what you have to think about it. You left out about bringing my car back into Enterprise, but I guess you weren't there for that, so...
Anyway, I'm glad you're posting so much recently. I'm sure it's good practice for you, too. Keep it up.
And yes... you do need to start riding the excersize bike and walking more. We both do. But I hate that bike, so maybe I'll ride my mountain bike instead.
There is no reason we can't hit a trail on the bikes one of these weekends. Yes we will have to dig them out (and probably lube the chains) but we both enjoyed it last year.
