It’s not easy getting the oldest one up, dressed and to swim team practice by 6:30 but boy is he fast! His long lean body and size 7 feet seem to give him an added advantage in the water. The only hard part is rousting him out of bed at 6:15 and getting him to practice. Yesterday he swam 12 lengths of the pool, alternating between freestyle and backstroke, without stopping. Now I don’t know about you but there’s no way I could swim 12 lengths of the pool non stop.
I kinked my neck sleeping last night and it’s all sore this morning. The youngest is on the couch with me eating a bowl of his favorite cereal, Panda Puffs. He goes to practice at 8am after the oldest is finished.
Today around 1pm the misses and I will head to Vail to see Dr. Corenman for a follow up visit on her neck. It looks like her headache is almost all the way gone, yea, now we just have her sore stiff neck to deal with. Work called her yesterday and she starts back tomorrow and also works Thursday. They’re anxious to get her back, we’ll see how long she lasts.
In the spirit of keeping up with me and trying to clean and purge one room at a time, she spent the whole day on the mud room yesterday. A huge 50 pound plus bag of who knows what came out of there and is now sitting outside waiting for the trash man on Thursday. I threw away a half dozen old pair of shoes but no telling what all she dumped. You can even get into the closet in there now and she says we should all start using that door now. I think she plans on locking us out of the front door to force us to use it. So, my closet and the mud room down, the rest of the house to go. There’s a lot of junk around here we have to just get rid  of.
I’m off to Houston next week for a night and think I’ll make a quick trip to New York the following Monday. I need to sometime get up to Wyoming to drop off some gear and check some fence lines. We might also try to take a trip to Yellowstone or Mount Rushmore sometime this summer. The way time flies, fall will be here before you know it.
Time to run, hope all’s well with everyone, take care and God Bless.
