45
Good morning! Today I'm 45. Time to buy a sports car or a motorcycle, eh? Claire has the opening shift at Subway. I'll head to the gym, but Michelle and the kids will stay back at the house this morning.
Got to catch up on news with my dad during the drive into Merrimack.
I just got back from the Merrimack Y. Low turnout today, probably because of the nice summer weather. I took a Step class, but skipped the core strength workout and came home afterwards. My right side oblique has been sore for a few days as though I pulled it somehow. At my age I could understand pulling my back, but my obliques? My dad says gettin' old ain't for wimps! ;-]
Had a pretty lazy afternoon. We didn't get momentum to visit the pool. Perhaps the boys were not in the mood because of yesterday's lake visit. I did get a good nap after last night's rough sleep. I went with Michelle to Rite Aid and then we picked up a pair of iced coffees from DFE. And I got to do a little reading out on the back porch. Even though it's near 90°F, it's breezy and dry so it feels nice to sit in the shade and enjoy a book.
We went to 4 o'clock Mass and out to dinner at Chili's. I just ordered Crocodile Dundee from Amazon for the family to watch. I also ordered The Bungalow for Claire. A little summer reading novel, hopefully not a bodice ripper.
We enjoyed seeing the movie. I hadn't seen it in ages. It made the boys laugh a few times. “That's not a knife…” As they would get sleepy, Michelle would bring them up to bed. In the end only Claire and Abby were with me for the closing. Good night all!
And an early Happy Birthday to my brother, Christopher, whose birthday is tomorrow! We're so excited that he and his wife, Natalie, are soon going to have their first baby!
