CPAP

 I was a little bit good to myself last night. Yes ,I stayed up too late ,but I decided to wash off my CPAP masked and took ten minutes to or so to adjust and fit the mask ,and slept with it for about 4 hours. I felt way more rested that I do when I do not use it . I have to promise myself to use it again tonight and every night.  I am more rested and think better and have more energy!

A New Goal Realized

I almost did not get to go out on my bike much today at all.I had been down to the bakery earlier , but it is only 3 doors down, so it was just a fast way to get there. Then I about 9:00 I decided I had better go biking. It occured to me that it would be nice to conquer the hill that I had been avoiding all summer. I took off on my bike and rode for about 2 k's and told my hubby to meet me at the bottom of the hill. I was thinking if I got stuck part way up and had to stop , he could push me and get me going again . Well .I stopped and waited for him and after 5 minutes decided to go the hill by myself. I took off and huffed and puffed, but I made it up the hill. Then I had a long ways to coast down hill. That was fun ,but then I got thinking gee I have to come back up this hill. Anyways I kept going until I got to the ferry. From my house to the ferry is 1 mile. Now a mile is not so far for me anymore, but this has some long hard hills. My husband showed up and I had him go ahead and wait for me at the top of each new hill. On the way back from the ferry terminal was another huge long hill. Well I huffed and puffed and moaned and groaned so loudy that a lady that was out running turned around to see if I was okay . That was almost funny ! But I made it up the hill and got to coast down the hills that I had struggled to come up earlier . My hubby was please with my accomplishment. I thought I should give myself at least one gold star !

Tuesday August 10,2010

This evening I rode my trike down to Linda's . She had a houseful of company so she didn't go biking with me. I rode back so I did get in about 2 miles . 
Nothing else much going on here today. Slept mostly which reminds me I need to get back to using my CPAP machine. Also need to keep better hours. I was doing pretty well for awhile and then I got off track again. Sure is hard to change back. 
  I sure miss Snuffy, just hits me at the oddest times , like when I first wake up and crawl out of be. I find myself looking back to see if he is there. I found my self crying in church Sunday, something triggered thoughts of him . Guess it will take some time.
 

August 9 - actually it is 5:20 am on the 10th

I can't believe I spend the last 3-4 hours working on a database only to find out that it would not do what I wanted it to do , what a waste! I also figured out that I need to go get some lessons in Merging Documents " , that would have saved me an hour or as well .       Oh well ,I 'll be off to the bakery for coffee in the morning .I will need to help keep me going all day. Well, unless it rains too hard .I don't have a car for the next couple of days. Speaking of which I watered my flower gardens this evening . So what does it do but rain !!  

        Was too sore from the hike on Sunday still to go biking much but I did take Misty with me for a run, when I took my bike down to the pharmacy (about a 1/2 kilometer from my home) 

  Must get to bed

Me and Misty

 

Today I didn't go far on my bike, about a kilometre all together. It is near the full moon and so after 7:00 it got really cold and windy to ride far - mostly too windy. However, I did take Misty along with me for part of it. She was distracted by Ron this time so she didn't enjoy the run like she did the first time I tried it.

Friday, August 5

       I didn't get biking this evening . My trike is in the shop getting a tire fixed, and my other bike has the chain off for some reason. Then I just decided to sit home and sew and catch you up some quilt projects. I have a large wall hanging or lap quilt to do for a wedding a the end of the month so I had to get started. And I had to figure out  how I wanted to cut out the blocks. It has been really humid here the past couple of days, think it has affected my asthma, I sure have not had much extra energy .

Wednesday ,August 4

   Today I left the house about 6:35 and I road to the tennis courts in Grand Harbour. I wanted to see the ladies taking tennis lessons. I got there in 46 minutes. I drove my 2 wheel six-speed and I was ready to drop by the time I got there. I had the gears mixed up and was riding in 4,5,6 up hill, instead of 1,2 or 3.  I thought I had tried them the opposite way , but it didn't seem to make any difference. It didn't help much that about half way down the wind started blowing against me . It turns out that I drove a bit over 11 kilometers . (which is about  6.83 miles ) I was glad that I could rest and also that I had a cold wet facecloth to wash my face and a cold bottle of water to drink. I got a ride home instead of trying to do both ways.( At this point I think it is easier to do distance on my trike, but time will tell I guess)

Monday August 2

It is a new month already, time to log in some miles. This evening I just biked down to my friends house and back.(about a total of 2 miles )  I used my two-wheel 5-speed, I am getting used to it again but I don't feel as secure with.

Saturday, July 31st
