I have my shopping all done and I didn't spend a penny! How, you may ask? Easy;I just informed my kids that if they expected something that they'd best write a letter to Santa. Also I think that this year I am gonna accomodate my wifes oft repeated wish that I don't buy her anything. Merry Christmas honey! So that just leaves the grandkids and Claudette is already experienced at spending money on them without my help.
I'm looking forward to a simple holiday with everyone together. Last year we were of course missing Jonathan but I'm pretty confident we'll see him this time around. I am working hard though to manage my expections around my children in general, whether it's related to things like family gatherings or just to the way they order their lives. I still live way too much on the edge of my seat wondering what kind of twist will come next. Oh well, when I'm dead I suppose I'll stop worrying.
Hey, I'm also ready for winter. I cleaned the garage out to make room for my truck(last year it lived outside) and I put the snow blower on the tractor and greased it. Man I'm organized! The first winter we lived here I thought I could make do with my front end loader and a blade. Fat chance! All that does is builds banks which creates a nice snow fence fot the wind to fill the driveway right back in...and then some! But a snow blower is much more fun anyway even if it is 50 years old.
Of course the pool has been long closed but I notice that it continues to leak like a sieve. I swear to god that pretty soon the things gonna become a flower bed. If it wasn't for Colby and Kylie it would already have happened.
Roos traing continues to go quite well. She ran 28.5 kms yesterday and all other workouts are also going strong. I think the combination of running, cycling and weights is gonna pay off for her. I, on the other hand have been struggling a little bit. My energy seems to be very low for some reason but I'm just trying to be patient in the hope that it will pass. Today I ran 16 kms with several little walking breaks. Pretty lame eh?
