Alex has really been racking up the hours at Culver’s this weekend. He
worked Saturday from 11:30-7:00 and again today from 3:00-7:00. Things
went generally pretty well, though it was a really long shift on
Saturday and he wasn’t
really feeling it at the start. But, he rallied after he had lunch and
things were better for him after that. He did slip and fall at one point
so we may have to look into better shoes. Still, he’s excited about
making some money…..Saturday was the Donut Dash
5k at Heartline. I ran it, but chose not to eat donuts at each mile
marker. I had one afterwards. Trey ran and had donuts, which he
regretted almost immediately. Anyway, I ran as fast as I have in a long
time. My official time was 24:18 or blazing fast, but
the course was considerably shorter than 5 kilometers. I ran around the
parking lot a couple times to get my distance up to 5k and my phone
clocked my 5k time as 25:10, which is still really fast for me……Saturday
while Alex was at work Beth and I did some
yard work. I finally got the rose bush in the trellis dug out like
Beth’s been wanting me to do for months, and finally got the lower
branches on the spruce tree trimmed, got the lawn mowed and the back
yard swept, got the bird feeder filled back up and most
of the backyard furniture into the shed…..Sunday I went to FW to visit
Mom again, since I won’t be able to next week and possibly the week
after. She was sitting at a table when I got there and did not seem to
notice me when I came in. Nor did she talk much
at all, or respond to anything. She didn’t recognize anyone from the
same photos I show her most visits, even the grandkids, and I think she
soiled herself while I was sitting with her. I did get her to get up for
a little walk downstairs, but she didn’t even
seem to notice the birds as we walked by, even when I pointed them out
to her. The whole visit was pretty much a bust…..
