125 on the 5th The guys are now 9-2. They are doing great. The late game time has been pretty fantastic. We started an hour earlier Thursday and it was sooo hot. I don’t mind being hot and sweaty when I’m doing something but sitting still in 100* plus degrees is pretty poopy! Luckily I am a wanderer and took some pics instead of sitting still which was nice!
126 on the 6th Friday night and a night out with my husband! We went to see Asleep at the Wheel at Knuckleheads with some friends. It was a great time… super hot of course but excellent regardless! Knuckleheads is awesome. It is outside which leads to some hotness but we didn’t care. Marcus and I danced for the last set. That felt great. Sweaty but great!
127 on the 7th
Well, today I went to visit The Villages Challenge course and completed my first day of facilitator training. It was pretty awesome. I will be the person who leads groups through a variety of low and high challenges in order to increase their communication skills, problem solving and communication skills and to just have fun. I didn’t take a picture because I was learning about ropes, how to tie knots and I belayed a guy who climbed a rock wall! Pretty awesome! You can check it out at Villages Challenge Course. It was cool, I was the oldest and by far the sweatiest but by God it was awesome!! I’m excited to be able to do this.. it will keep me in the environmental education and experiential learning game with a bit of extra money. Today I learned some knots and a few ice breakers as well as all about ropes. I also had the chance to belay another guy while he climbed the rock wall to repair some of the grips. It was fun.
I am tired of this heat. It has been over a hundred for the last ten days. I feel like I am constantly sweating and smelly or showering. This evening Marcus and I have relaxed in the ac for a change. It has been a little weird since we are usually moving about and doing stuff but it has felt great!! We finally watched The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Loved the books and the movie was awesome. Lisbeth Salandar kicks some serious ass!! Good book series and good movies! Can’t wait to watch the other two. I have discovered RedBox. I know, lots of others have already discovered this but I do live in the wilderness and we JUST got a Redbox here in town. Pretty awesome!
Nothing else exciting is really happening. I have nothing to take photos of due to this dang heat wave. All my plants and flowers are dying and the entire lake area is dry and dying. Bleh.
On the upside, I am happy and healthy. And… when I’m not ecstatically happy I remember that tomorrow is a new day and the next minute is a new minute so I guess I’m good!

PS I hate the stupid blogger app. Boo!
In other news… my stitches are feeling fine! Strangely they don’t hurt at all. Occasionally there is a slight tinge. So I’m pretty happy about that. Tomorrow, Shelley and I will meet to take a good long wog and maybe a canoe trek in advance of our race. I am feeling slow this year. I am happily able to go long but my mile is sloooww. I think the whole no running between October and February is killing me.. or I’m just old and cant go fast! Who knows!
