hot Hot HOt HOT!

Summer has arrived in the last day in full force.

It was 94 yesterday and hotter today.  Good thing I watered the garden on Sunday to get it though this heat.  I watered everything again tonight when I got home from work. 

I did notice that the ground cherry plant has 3 ground cherries on it.  I am excited to see everything progressing in the garden.  The brandywine is getting huge!  I need to get more u-hoops to hold up the plants up soon or they will be flopping over onto themselves. 

 

I met with my trainer yesterday and she helped me get some really good stretching in and worked pressure points to try and release some of the muscle tightness I have going on right now throughout my body.  I then went to Kettlebell class.  Holy hanna was that work … we were all sweating like crazy.  It was from a combination of the work we were doing and how hot the space was.  The AC was on high but it was still hot hot hot. 

I managed to burn about 500 calories in the hour.  I have not done that in a while in class so it felt good.  The class consisted of doing 5 double swings at progressively heavier stations from 10# to 44# we hit each station 10 times for a total of 250 swings.  I only did 3 swings 3 times so I was down by 6 swings from the 250.  After that we did walking presses and then waiter walks and finally walking, stopping and pressing. Everyone in class did great. 

 

I get the next CSA box tomorrow.  I have managed to eat almost everything but a bit of lettuce, which I will finish tonight, and a couple of radishes.  I still have not used the corn meal but that will not go bad.  I think I need put it in the fridge though to keep it longer. 

I will post a photo of box 2 tomorrow or Thursday. 

Last week I found a fabulous gourmet store in St Anthony that sells really good olive oil, balsamic vinegar, pastas, and salts.  You can read more about what she has to offer here... www.annonagourmet.com

I have also arranged to get new tires for Beverly over the weekend from one of my parent's neighbors.  I am getting a Cooper tire that is a 50K tire with a road hazard.  The price out the door is $392, this is better than what I could get at Sam's club and I trust the guy who will be doing the work.  I am excited to get this done so I do not have to worry about the tires and also because I have the spare on the car right now.  I drove for almost a year with a nail in one of the tires before it gave up the ghost this Spring.  

 

I did not talk to Dan yesterday or today at all.  I did invite him and the dog to stay at my place being I have AC and he does not but, he did not take me up on the invite.  I did talk to sister though about what is happening and she gets my point of view and how if we are to be together Dan needs to let me have opinions and comments about the kids and what they are doing.  She even told me that she doesn’t think she would have been able to date someone who has kids.  I think she feels bad about what is happening with us. I hope he figures out what he wants soon with our relationship because I am not waiting around for him very long.  

Until next time...
