Unexpected Week

The week has had its ups and downs.  Mostly, it's been a good week, except for the unexpected passing of Millie on Wednesday.  I'm okay, but I'm really not on my game after finding her gone and burying her.

The Good Stuff:
- I've done well with riding the recumbent bike every other day (I rode both Wednesday and Thursday, because I knew I would be traveling on Friday).
- I have been varying my work on the Wii -- some days I just don't want to do balance stuff or yoga stuff.  For instance, Thursday, I felt like doing Boxing, so I did 20 minutes of boxing.  I think the goal is for 20-30 minutes of activity, and I'm not going to worry too much about which activity it is.  In fact, I think a variety will keep it interesting.
- I finished the preliminary work on Polar Bear on the Loose.  I began work on Lesson 16.  That's where I pull out the manuscript, my focus cards, and my worksheets and begin writing new words, cutting dead words, pasting words in new places, and generally making the book meet my vision.  This lesson will go very slowly for me.  Holly says it will take four weeks.  I'm sure it will take a lot longer.  Also, I don't plan to work on it while I'm traveling, so that will slow it down even more.  Even so, it's pretty exciting.
- I don't know if I mentioned it or not, but it looked like hubby and I would only see one another for six days and some odd moments here and there during the first three months of this year.  He has managed to make enough excuses to adjust his schedule so we've been able to spend more time together.  I think it's cute.
- The Amtrak 40th Anniversary Exhibit Train is in San Antonio this weekend, so I came down a day early so we could visit it.  We really enjoyed it, and Amtrak did a very nice job on this train.  We're both getting very excited about our trip in May.
- Reading has been going well.
- I didn't think I was doing very well on points, but weight was okay this morning, and measurements were better than last week.  

Not So Good Stuff:
- After the dog dies, I guess other things look a little better, so I don't see much not so good this week.

For Next Week:
- I'll do the prep work I came down to San Antonio for -- take truck in for service, get hair cut, and get my new lenses installed in my glasses.  I may get to see an old friend who's in town visiting his brother.
- I'll do various yard work chores, and that will comprise the bulk of my exercise this week.
- Hubby was going to head to Central Texas after his rehearsal tomorrow.  Instead, he's coming back here, and we'll head back up together on Thursday.  That will allow me to finally drive with the trailer, which I really want to do before I begin an 1200 mile trip with it.
- I may get some work done on PBOTL this week.  I brought it with me, but I'm not going to push it.
- I'd like to finish El Narco and get my review up on LibraryThing before I leave on the trip.
