MAN,, YESTERDAY ALMOST WHIPPED ME.. THERE WERE TIMES I DIDNT THINK I WAS GONG TO BE ABLE TO FINISH THENNNN I GOT AN UPSET TUMMY, DONT KNOW IF IT WAS FROM THE HEAT OR THE GELS, BUT I HAD TO MAKE SEVERAL PIT STOPS AND I JUST FELT SICK WHEN I WAS TRYING TO WALK. THANK YOU BETH FOR WALKING THOSE LAST COUPLE OF MILES WITH ME, I DONT KNOW THINK I WOULD HAVE DONE IT IF YOU WERENT WITH ME. JUST SO NAUSEATED. I GOT REALLY HOT, BUT I DRANK MY WATER AT EVERY STOP. JUST ONE OF THOSE NOT SO GOOD DAYS. WHEN I GOT BACK TO THE CAR I JUST HAD TO PUT MY HEAD DOWN FOR A FEW MIN BEFORE I DROVE HOME, THEN I HAD TO STOP TWICE BEFORE I GOT HOME. WHEN I DID GET HOME, I PUT THE JAMS ON, GOT UNDER A QUILT , I HAD CHILLS AND SLEPT FOR A COUPLE OF HRS, I FELT BETTER WHEN I WOKE UP BUT I KNEW I COULDNT MAKE THE BARB B QUE, I HATED MISSING IT, BUT I JUST COULDNT GET UP ENOUGH STRENGTH TO DRIVE THAT FAR. SO HAD DID IT TURN OUT? MAYBE WE CAN GET TOGETHER AGAIN, MAYBE A FRIDAY NIGHT OUT FOR SUPPER SOON.
THOMAS MADE IT TO QATAR ALRIGHT, NOT WITHOUT TROUBLE, HIS 1ST CLASS SEAT FROM FRANKFORT GERMANY TO DOHO DIDNT LEAN BACK, BLESS HIS HEART, HA,, AND HIS LUGGAGE WASNT THERE BUT THEY ASSURED HIM IT WOULD BE THERE TODAY.. HOPE SO, I ASKED HOW THE FOLKS LOOKED AND HE SAID THAT MOST OF THE MEN WORE THE LONG WHITE ROBES SOME WERE WESTERNIZED BUT MOSTLY WORE THOSE AND THE WOMEN WORE THE LONG BLACK ONES THAT ONLY HAD SLITS FOR THERE EYES AND SOME EVEN WORE THE VEILS, ITS THERE WAY OF LIFE AND YOU HAVE TO RESPECT IT, I GUESS, BUT I KNOW WE SURE ARE LUCKY TO BE LIVING HERE.

heyyyy
hey all
i sure have missed you all,, we had a really good trip to Boise, and even though the temps were in the 100's every day, it didnt compare to our 90's will the humidity,, it would kinda burn your skin but you didnt suffocate when you walked outside,,
and i did do my 8 miles saturday, probably more, they have this walking/biking area there called, the GREEN BELT , its a paved walking and biking trail that runs about 18 miles all throught town thats on the same path and the boise river,, it was sooo nice, made the time go by faster,, and they have people on little 4 wheelers riding up and down the paths with water,, so thomas and i walked ( i would run a ways in front in of him then run back to him then walk some, from our hotel , that at the back of it the path ran by , so we did that until we go into town and went to the fruit /veggie and arts market they have they every sat and we walked all around it then came back to our hotel,, then saturday night was the banquet, we had a really good time and was good to see old friends that we have met on his other jobs.
he got his orders for his next job, he leaves friday for Qatar, 4 mth project, so im thinking now he wont make chicago :-( but have to see..
both kids have been home this week and we have had such a good time, doing nothing but hanging around.. i have done my running these last 2 days and its been a killer.. i didnt get out until 8 this morning and it was hard to breath, i was sweated down, probably good for me..
well 18 big ones this weekend, WOW thats alot you know,, glad we start at 5,,
i start at the hosptital monday, 7-3 3-11 in er, just what i wanted,, when i say im dead tried tues from doing 16 hrs, please all of you remind me i said that, ha,
going for now, just have missed blogging and reading everyones, but since we got home sunday night and found out he was leaving friday early we have been flat out getting him ready,,
hope everyone is doing good and looking forward seeing you all and to saturday night

we leave thursday for Boise, so ill miss saturday, but they have good walking tracks all around the city so ill get my 8 miles in , we have a friend there that does long distance running and he said he would go with me, then the banquet will be saturday night, home sunday then i look for thomas to be gone by tues, ive gotten so use to him being around how, i really hate to see him leave, and then there is the problem that he might not be able to come to chicago after we have paid most of the dinero, but we talked to mark about it saturday so hopefully it will all work out.
well im going for now,
hope you all have a good week and ill write when i get home
