Slow day at work, did not have our boring staff meeting. The boss stayed at home waiting on the plummer. Doc took us to lunch at Madame Wu's. Susie and I were going there for lunch, but he paid for our lunch so that was even better. The food is just not as good as when the orginal Madame Wu was there. I wish she was still here, but she moved to Fayetteville and opened a place there. I got a pedicure and manicure today for $20.00. I messed up the polish on my big toe before I even got in the house. Boo Hoo!
The night is windy and cool. Temperature is 56 degrees, a few days ago it was in the 90 and we turned the air on. We got a hard rain yesterday evening and early this morning. It was storming at 4:30 this morning so I stayed home, no workout today. I did do some yoga, so I wasn't terrible lazy. The rain will be good for the garden. Make the veggies grow.

Worked out again today, walked a little on tread mill, the did lower body today, then more elliptical walker. See how this does my lower back. Love the elliptical walker, but been having back pain.
Lovely day out, the sun is shinning and a nice breeze blowing. Vegetables are starting to come up in the garden, won't be long.

Computer is running slow, didn't think msn was going to come up. Cannot sleep again. This is my life, work, not much sleep. I use to go to bed and sleep so good, not wake up till alarm went off.
Grandson called tonight, someone threw a rock and hit back of his head, said he has a gash there and thinks he has a slight concussion. Must not be too bad, he was at friends house. Something is always happening to him.
We finally got some rain, a good slow rain, the squash is coming up and the corn. I planted green beans, they should be coming up soon. I am ready for some fresh veggies.

Not much done today, it was hot outside so I stayed in under the a/c. Plants are growing in the green house. I just hope I can keep them watered, a friend is supposed to come by this weekend and pick up some tomato plants. Husband thinks he can give away the egg plants and peppers. Next yearwill only germinate a few seeds instead of the whole package. This was my first time to do the seeds that way so I will know better.
Got my 30 minute workout in today, hopefully I will be able to sleep tonight. I read this article in Body + Soul magazine about cutting the hidden sugar for three weeks. Reading labels and stuff. Since I am diabetic and sorta watch my sugar anyway, I am trying their suggestion, this is day 2, I had 15 grams of sugar Monday about the same today. I had dried cranberries in my oatmeal and they are sweetened with sugar, not sure how to count them. I just said I had 15 grams today too.
I have some iris blooming, the yellow golden yellow and the blue. Looks like the white ones will open sometime this week. I have some lavender with pink, blue and gold they are so pretty.
Next will be the lilles usually after that I don't have much blooming. Don't usually have much luck with annuals. I have red salvia, zinnias, and some marigolds in the greenhouse hopefully they will be good bloomers this summer. I germinated some dalhia seeds and I think they all sprouted. I have about 40 plants, they are really growing. They say to plant in full sun, but our summers are really hot so I usually do part sun and part shade. I have been eating asaparagus out of the garden this year, it is so good. Better go to bed and try and sleep.

1:10 am, another night I cannot sleep, thought I would sleep good since we turned the a/c on, my body hurts I guess I worked too hard on the eliptical walker tonight. My hips are hurting, the left one hurts quite a bit. Maybe the bio freeze will help.
We have 92 tomato plants in the garden and about that many more to plant. We have not had any rain in several days. Weather lady said we are behind 4 inches since January. Maybe it will rain soon.
Busy afternoon at work, did two sets of x-rays. doing x-rays gets me out of therapy, which makes me happy.
I think I will try and go to sleep.

7:02 am, we got one of those April showers this morning, I hope thats all it is and not softball size hail. In Pocahontas, my home town, my sisters car looks terrible. She said, "her car looks terrible". Husband said he is going to cover the green house, we do have some bad weather coming. The plastic on the green is kind of flimsey. I have lots of plants in there, don't want to loose them. Might set out some tomato plants this weekend, or may wait till after Easter Sunday, we could still get a frost. I am not sure when the last frost date is.
Better go, need to get ready for work!

It sure was a beautiful day, about 70 degress. I think I got a little red on the shoulders and neck, they feel a little tender. I got those dahlias planted today. Now I will anxiously await their coming up.
I left work early Monday, I was sick. I felt bad Sunday, we went out Saturday night to eat at Brown's Catfish and the food didn't taste as good as usual. Husband said his was very good so I think I was getting sick then. I ached all over, stomache cramps, headache not a very good appetite so I came home and slept the whole afternoon. I was off this afternoon, this is my usual afternoon off. Daughter came over we chatted for a while then she did her journal. I went out to dig some more.
Watching Marth Stewart, I always record her everyday. Sometimes it is good, sometimes not.
Going out of town this weekend. We are going to Texas for Kats Seminar. Maybe I will get a little smarter. The weekend is supposed to be beautiful and I will be setting in class all day, part of Sunday and returning home Sunday afternoon. Hopefully my husband will not get hurt while I am gone, his weekend was a better, he cut some more wood for winter. He said we are going to have to buy a new stove before the winter.
Sunday, husband and I transplanted 72 pink brandywine tomato plants. Brother-In-Law planted them in a pot and insisted we take some for our garden. We already have plenty, I bet I have 150 tomato plants growing in the green house. I think next year we need to get together and decide who plants what, so we won't have too much.
