AnonymousGuest, yep, DBIL lives 20 miles/30 minutes away. We're 55 miles/75 minutes away. With covid, any housing changes for MIL are on hold, but she sometimes says she wants to find something halfway between DH & DBIL. DBIL is maybe 10 miles from US 1 and we are basically right by it. Halfway is middle of no where Harford County. There are no continuing care communities at the halfway point. DH and I usually want to beat our heads into a wall after these conversations.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!  Binged the ENTIRE thing.  LOL  I REALLY like Justin Hartley's (now ex) wife.

 

I will have to check this out... I have Netflix now thanks to XDH...  

Well, XDH and his boo may not be completely over, DD told me that he was texting her yesterday.  It wouldn't surprise me if they got back together... that's what those young 'uns like to do, right?  Break up and get back together again?  The more drama the better?  

Taking a break and checking back in.  The amount of work expected these days is honestly absurd.  It seems the higher ups do not have much to do so they keep putting pressure on.  We don't have the resources!  Something has to give.  I haven't even showered today.  Plan to get Lily out on another long walk but not sure a bike ride will happen.  Will have to login Monday regardless.  Ugh.

HCK - I can do 10K steps on rest days easier than biking days haha.  Mostly because I walk longer with Lily and also tend to do chores on those days so lots of up and down stairs.  It's the biking days that do me in.  I'm tired so walk less and sit more haha.  Dang, sorry for having to go north gain.  That DBIL needs to step UP!

Cathy - ummm swimming isn't really a "rest" day   Awwww too bad XDH and Boo are on the outs.  Or, maybe now it'll be fun to watch their drama unfold!  Good gravy.  At this age, I cannot do drama.  At.  All.  Mmm hmmm - I like this TF who thinks like me regarding your conservative marathon goals .  Just go for it!  Worst that can happen is you blow up and shuffle in.  Oh well!!  Yah yah, easy for me to say.  But, if you have never hit the wall, ya don't know what you are missing.  

Damaris - 15 miles after lunch out??  Oh helllllzzz no!!

CC - enjoy the fabulous weather weekend!  Good point that nobody is BQing this year anyway - I hadn't thought of that.  That's also a cool idea - wonder if they will do something crazy once things get back to "normal".  Though, that honestly could be years.

Elina - WOOT!  SO EXCITED for you!!  Good luck and have fun.  Though, I gotta say, 10:15 start time for a marathon seems odd and super late to me.  But, close to perfect for you, right??  I'll be awake by the time you are at about mile 20 cheering you on from across the pond 

Laura - sounds like a perfect low key productive day!  I'm planning to do the purge and donate on my next PTO at the end of Oct.  The drama of Selling Sunset gets addicting.  Wait until the mean blondie gets married.  Over.  The.  Top!!

Judy -  glad the clog wasn't too too bad.  Sounds like a fun day with DC!!

Karen - awesome on the camping trip mid-week in October.  Glad you had a painless trip to the grocery.  I am NOT in the mood for that this evening haha.  For some reason it popped into my head today (maybe because you've been seeing all your baby runners more) that aren't you glad you can say "COVID!  NO HUGS!" LOL.  I crack myself up.

Liz - Americano is my favorite!  Your dinner plans sound awesome!  I kinda chuckle at what I envision you eye-rolling at HCDHs parents haha.  I get it, kinda, since my sisters are like that.  But, hey, they will pay, right??  And, a seafood place on the lake sounds wonderful!  I'm kinda jealous of all your seafood.  Being so inland, not much good stuff around here.  And, if you can find good stuff, it's spendy.  I had to look up Nags Head - OMG it looks amazing!!  I would LOVE to visit the OB one day.  My RDU friend (wedding date) just bought a small cottage on the beach somewhere but not sure where.  I will have to ask.  I say you send HCDH to do the Kohl's returns   Oh, and I think you will love Selling Sunset!  It kinda reminds me of the Real Housewives type of show even though it's about a Real Estate brokerage.

Okay, back at it.  Hope to log off in an hour.  Happy long weekend to most!!

Sandy - it is such a guilty pleasure!  My favorites are Mary, Chrishelle and Maya.  Mary is making me want to cut my hair and her hubby (fiance as I'm watching) is ooo la la !!   Oh and I imagine the Christine wedding will be crazy, her engagement party was like "wow'.  I don't like her, but she's a good Queen B ha ha

Judy  - ugh, pipe and water issues are the worst, glad it is manageable!

Karen - you will do great with your virtual Boston!!  I did get quite a bit of organizing done but actually it all went into the garbage.  I do have a couple of boxes to go to St Vinny's but thought I would be adding to it.  I have 9 tubs of stuff my DD needs to go through and I am hoping she wants to donate a lot of it.

Kathi - oh, dealing with aging parents is so stressful, hang in there!

Damaris - have a good 15 tomorrow.  You can always run, do Pilates and then take a nap in the afternoon!

Cathy - Oh boy on the ex and his girl.  I feel there may be a lot of drama going on if they've already broken up and are maybe getting back together, gonna be interesting!!

Lizzie - I miss Real Housewives.  I think it might be on Netflix but it's too many seasons back so I've seen them.  I watch BH and OC.  Enjoy your weekend!!

Oh oh oh, almost forgot - speaking of Netflix guilty pleasure: DH and I binge watched both seasons of Cobra Kai last Sunday.Ralph Macchio and the guy that played Johnny - the blond kid that Karate Kid beats at the end of the movie, but as adults in the present day. Cheesy yet addictive. Probably less so if you didn't watch the Karate Kid movie 30 some years ago. Well, probably more cheesy but less addictive.

Holy cow, this is a busy place today.  And I thought I was getting here early (for me, anyway...)

Kilmisters, have a great race on Saturday!

HCK, those annoying end-of-the-day emails are the worst... esp when it's the end of the day before a long weekend.  Sorry about the useless DBIL, sounds frustrating.

Karen, have a great virtual Boston this weekend!  If the weather is crazy hot, could you move it to later in the week?  Camping in October sounds fun.

Sandy, sorry your workplace is so nutso.  If everyone who worked there actually did his/her fair share (looking at you, Sleepy!), maybe it would be a bit better.  How does Peloton work?  Is there a library of online workouts?  Pre-programmed workouts?  Live workouts online with instructors?  Sounds super useful for winter there.

Damaris, I can't get a bigger phone than my iPhone X because then it won't fit in the front pocket of my pack.  Enjoy the 15 tomorrow (if that's what you decide to do).

Lizzie, woohoo for a 100% rest day!  Is the nice weather this weekend a tease, or will it stick around?  Enjoy the wine, you deserve a big glass after all the work chaos.

Lisa, aww, nice that you're running with Ginny this weekend!  Tell her we say hi!

CrazySue, a Weim puppy sounds cute!   Nice that you get to log off early today.

Kat, rolling my eyes at the disorganization at your workplace.

Turtles, you've been really consistent with your workouts -- hopefully the HM at goal pace gives you a little boost of confidence.  You have to believe you can do it if you want something awesome to happen.  

CC, enjoy the nice Sept weather!  My first marathon was also just under 6 hours, and it was also 16 years ago.  What marathon was your first?  Mine was Maui.  (Highly not recommended for someone doing a first marathon with no clue about training!)

LC, sounds like you've had a productive day with cleaning and organizing!

Judy, good that the leak under the sink isn't too bad.

Not too busy at work this week so I logged off early today.  SRD today, LR tomorrow.  My sister is in town with a couple of her kids so we'll go up to my dad's house for a visit with everyone tomorrow.  Almost time for my Friday beer!  Cheers!
