Flowers, Exercising And Just One More Cup Of Coffee
Going to finish this second cup of coffee and head out for an early walk / jog this morning ..... at least those are my good intentions.
Then the fun part of the day ..... flower shopping and planting. I love flowers. They brighten up the yard ..... and my attitude ..... lol. We have a local grower here and she has awesome health plants and a wide variety. Her prices are unbelievable .... and she always tends to give me a couple free six packs here and there. Good way to keep 'em coming back for more. Anyway mom handed me fifty bucks and said go buy ..... so I'm going to!
Speaking of mom ..... I've been have a real issue lately ..... so what else is new, eh? She has been literally hunting me down ..... no matter where I am ..... for stupid stuff. For example ..... some old lady at bingo the other night who knows I bead told me she had a line on beads .... dirt cheap ..... and would call with the information. Well, she did .... on moms phone .... which if you don't have my cell is the only way to get hold of me. Dave and I had taken off to burn a bowl and had walked out to the barn which is a fair distance from the house when your 85 and unable to walk stably ..... and no sooner do I take a hit then there is mom stumbling .... literally .... towards us ..... "there you are .... hiding from me". Bottom line ..... yes, we were. Anyway ..... she is waving this piece of paper with an address link to this beading website. "Did you actually feel you had to walk all the way out here and give this to me?" "It could of been important" .... she says. It could of waited .... and I told her so.
That is one example ..... out of many ..... she has been just walking into my room lately too .... which is my only PRIVACY ..... and as many times as I tell her to quit, she does it anyway. You know, I'm not flipping 16 ...... why do I feel like it?
We are getting her connected to the county lifeline program so that when we are in at the claim she will just have to push a button if she needs help. And we won't worry so much. We also have a friend that loves to come and check on her. I think she feeds him goodies when he visits ..... so he will always stop by. And she thinks he is just the greatest. And he'll throw hay to the llamas and feed the chickens too.
Ten days and counting. Then we get to spend a whole day with lauralew and her beau infinityedge over on the coast. We will be staying with tattooedjen and intrepid28 and so it will be good to see them and visit as well. A much needed break from here. YAY!
The coffee is now cold and needs a reheat ..... one way to put off putting on those hiking shoes .... lol. Actually it has been great the last few days. Yesterday I walked / jogged to the gate the now closes this forest service road. Probably about three miles round trip ..... today I will go on up aways. Petey and I found Patterson Creek yesterday too on our journey .... the creek the road is named after. It comes out just down the road from us aways next to the highway but I had never really followed it up to see where its roots were. Today I will continue on. I should say we .... Petey is coming to expect these little hikes ..... we couldn't leave quick enough for him yesterday.
Off to nuke the coffee ..... change into my hiking clothes ..... smoke a bowl and take off to enjoy the morning.
Enjoy your Saturday all ..... those of you who aren't working .....
Peace. J.

Exercising And Mountain Lions
Managed to get some exercise in yesterday.
Not a big fan of running / jogging but took off yesterday just wanting to breathe some fresh air and have some alone time ...... thinking time.
There is a road that runs adjacent to our property. Pavements ends about 3/4 mile down and it turns into a dirt mountain road. I grabbed up Petey at about 11:00 and took off walking and stretching across our property to the road. Petey was excited to be going for a walk. YAY!
Upon hitting the asphalt my walking pace picked up first slowly then quicker. Eventually I broke into a jog and started looking ahead and picking out goals ..... just make it to there. The road is at a very slight uphill incline and I could feel it in my chins as I reached my first goal point. I stopped the jog and dropped to a run / walk ..... incorporating an exaggerated arm swing to help keep up the quickened heart rate. Every now and then I would site a new goal, break into a jog and then back to my quick walk / run pace.
Reaching the end of the pavement and heading on up the dirt road into the woods the quiet beauty of it all was sinking in. Petey running along beside me, pulling off every now and then to smell something that would catch his attention, then catching back up and keeping pace. Then I remembered the mountain lion sighting from last week in the subdivision just down the main highway from us. And my imagination started to work me over. As much as I wanted to keep going I ended up turning around and coming back.
Probably jogged more than 1/2 way back .... is was now at a slight downhill and much easier on the legs / chins. Made it home hot sweaty worked over and ready for a shower.
Today I want to head out again ..... and I keep asking myself ..... do you just keep going further and deeper down the road into the woods ..... knowing this bugger is out there somewhere ..... possibly close? Seeing as he was spotted in a subdivision ..... does it really make a difference if I run in a populated area or in a remote area? He is where he is, right?
When we are on the claim the mountain lion is always in the back of my head, but I don't really dwell on it or think about it much ..... I'm able to push the fear aside and just continue on with my daily routine. Is it just that it is so close to home that it bothers me more?
***sigh***
As I write Petey is out cold. It was quite the run for him yesterday and he is still recovering I believe. He is so damn sweet when he is asleep.
Grapefruit for breakfast and off I go ..... it is supposed to WARM up seriously here today ..... so thinking they could be right it would be best to get this little journey out of the way early.
Its Thursday ..... one day closer to Friday and the weekend ..... off to Medford tomorrow, flower planting on Saturday & Sunday ..... its so nice to be able to be outside in the nice warm sunshine .....
Peace. J.

Jogging!
Waow! I'm proud of myself! Yesterday i managed to jog 40 minutes! I used to be able to run an hour, 5 times a week... a very long time ago... And until yesterday, i wasn't able to run longer than 20 minutes! I blamed my getting older for it... but, of course, it had nothing to do with it! So yesterday i found what rythm i need to run... which is rather slow, but at least i can do it now, run longer!
My goal is to run an hour again, very soon!
Yesterday, i also went to pick up my order from Phildar so i have more yarn and thread to knit... Among those i got a hat kit.. but sometimes i wonder if the girls wearing the models don't make the models look nicer than what they will on me! lol... Anyway... whenever it is ready, i'll post it on here.
Just about some stuff.
Not much on my mind, just getting the little one ready for school. I played volleyball with some friends yesterday, that was fun. My house is a mess, I think I'm going to work on that today. Rent was due on the first and my landlord still has not been over to pick it up. I have to work today but that shouldn't be to bad. I'm going to go out for a jog today, I really am trying to get that body back. I'm getting really close. Everyone have a great day, I'll try to do the same.
(no subject)
jus came back from 11oclock run. ran with auggie and john for a while. bothered eric. these guys were messing around with us at chapman and brookhurst. driving 40 mph in a 5 mph area. circling and yelling. this dude jumps out while the car was driving and starts chasing after us sprinting in cicles and stuff. jumping on me on my bike. that #%$^@%. they nearly #$%^ing ran us #$%^ing over. $%^&ing people were like stoned or something. people like that tick me off. nearly killed me too.
