My Website

Oh Well!

I have not blogged in about three days, and I have no intention of trying to go back and write an entry for those days. I am going to stop writing every day, perhaps every other or just twice a week. I have been dreading writing some mornings, and other days I just forget and it is a rush to get it out that evening. During the day I don't have much time to work on it, so either it is right away when I get up (only on days that I do get up with my alarm) or after dinner when I have forgotten most of what happened.

I have been going to the YMCA almost every single day. Some days I walk and do my weight lifting circuit, and others I go to one of the classes. I love classes, they keep me moving for a full hour without the pounding on my legs from walking. I've been doing yoga and pilates classes, and some that mix the two along with either some tai chi or cardio. I would like to do some swimming, but I can never get there when the lanes are empty. I talked to one of the lifeguards about the quietest part of the week for the lap lanes, and it appears Wednesdays are super quiet all around. I will have to try that out next week.

Since I have been going to the “Y” I have been feeling really good, and so I am trying to keep it up. I do have a restriction though, the child care is only for two hours. If I were to do a full work out like I want, there would be an hour or so of walking, 45 minutes or however long to do my weights and then soak in the hot tub for a little while (or maybe even swim for 15 minutes) and then shower, dress and go pick up Monster. That is more like 2 ½ hours, or maybe even three.

My moods have been pretty steady, meaning less mood swings, but unfortunately the level it is holding is somewhat high. I like that just after the workout I am in a relatively good mood, but as I have blogged (many times) before it is super hard to get the energy and motivation to walk out that door. I think that SAD is trying to get a firmer hold on me, and rainy days are the worst. Other than exercise there are few distractions that I can just suddenly pull out of my closet and get to work on right away.

I have discovered the website: http://www.convertico.com/ where you can upload an image, or point to one somewhere on the interwebs, and it will resize and convert the image to a .ico

It's quick and easy, much easier than the manual method I used.

I am running way super behind! I am still finishing Saturday, and I haven't even started thinking about Sunday and Monday. Not like there are so many people following me that I need to worry about being consistant in my blogging. But hey, maybe there is someone out there that really cares about what I blog.

I have created an account on Flickr.com and am in the process of uploading photos from my vacation. If you go looking for me, I'm at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/gingerbirdgirl

I have been making some minor changes to my website over the last few days. I changed around my TMI and Start Page and added some more items to Art Therapy. I also created a new page for an ongoing discussion of great names for pets of all types. Go to Pet Names to see some that I have already posted.

I am leaving on vacation Friday (tomorrow) and have absolutely no idea what lays in wait regarding an internet connection. I have a feeling I will not get a chance to blog while I am away, and my karma on Plurk.com will drop quite a bit. However, I have prepared some fun things to appear each day, to look at while I am away.

Just a head's up!
