House, Butterflies and Pumkins

So, currently I have some sites down due to a hosting company issue. Lots of people asking about it, but nothing really I can do. Thus seems like a good point to post to the Blog.

Been a busy time since I first posted.

One the exercise front I’ve stuck with it. I’ve gone at least 4 times every week in the morning and been several time in the evening with Brit / Char. Last Wednesday I went in and talked with one of the people that manage the personal trainers. After an example work out I went ahead and signed up for five classes.  So far I’ve done two. Friday we worked on my legs and they still hurt today. This morning we worked on my abs. Which are sore, but I have a feeling at going to feel worse tomorrow.

Right now my plan is when I get back from Rome I’m going to stick with it and continue to work out.

Brit’s starting to get settle in. We’ve bumped heads a couple times on changes and getting things done. She very much in go mode but there only so much money we can put out right now for such things. We very much want floor to seeing built in shelves but looking at the wood costs that not going to happen right now.

We however did manage to paint the office a really nice teal green. Took a while to do though thanks to the drywall sucking up the paint. We primed it, did 2 coats of paint and I still had to go back and touch up light spots. But it looks pretty good.

We also put up temporary shelving in the Library. Its wood boards with cinder block risers. But it works well for the moment and meant we could unpack a number of things. We’re still going to do real shelves when we can, the only question is whether I build them or buy them.

This weekend besides painting I got to go out a bit and have fun. Saturday morning Char, Brit and me went to the butterfly festival at the Fort Myers Butterfly Garden. It was small but a lot of fun. End up winning a few things in their Raffle.

Saturday I went with Char, Troy, Gavin, and Char’s extend family to the pumpkin patch at Lakes Park. It was small but was fun. Took lots of pictures which I have yet to have a chance to look at but am hopeful.

The camera that Brit’s father gave me is really nice and I’m having a blast with it. When I see him next week I look need to remember to express my thanks for it. I didn’t realize how much I missing doing photos.

Of things I miss, I also didn’t fully realize how much I missed swimming. LA Fitness has a pull and being able to take a dip after working on is a wonderful things.
