Yeah for aerobics

Ok so they changed the set up for Blogger and I am liking it.  I can choose a font and I can indent and all of this really cool stuff.  Yes the simple things amuse me. 
 
So last night I was pretty homesick and I really don't know why.   I mean its a good thing to be homesick but usually when I am homesick or peoplesick I should say I can just hop on line and talk to someone.  But here everyone is in bed.  By the way, by peoplesick, I mean that I like/need to have people around me.  I have been thinking about it and I think that I would like a roommate again but just one with separate bedrooms.  Its not that I had anything against my former roommates in any way but I have found that I need my alone time sometimes.  Its not very often but sometimes it happens.  So in conclusion, I was homesick yesterday. 
 
But today was a good day.  I got to work with kids today.  I was talking to Lois the diabetes educator about doing stuff that she does and she suggested that I come to the summercise with her today.  It was wonderful.  I got to teach some young children about diabetes and its effects.  With the younger kids we played games and gave them jump ropes and we really got to interact with them.  I actually got to play with Dr. Sedgwick's children and they were wonderful.  Hannah wants to be a doctor just like her dad and she was telling me where the heart is and how it has blood vessels off of it.   She was so cute.  Then in the afternoon we went back to talk to the big kids.  They weren't that big though.  Not the punks that Mike talks about at his camp.  So they wanted to see us test our blood sugars and such.  I tested mine and it was 85.  That is actually good for a non diabetic.  But it was a lot of fun.  I am going to stop up and see Lois tomorrow to get a general idea of what she does on a day to day basis. 
 
The pharmacy was really quite today.  It was Thursday so no clinic but the afternoon was quiet too.  I was surprised.  It gave Luke time to finish his report and get that sent off.  I looked on the LL Bean web site in search of camping stuff and hiking things. 
 
Laura and I went out to dinner tonight at the Muddy Rudder.  My grandmother sent me $20 and I just had to spend it.  Besides it was Lasagna in the caf. tonight and their lasagna sucks in my personal opinion.  So I had a salad, onion rings, and a burger, it was pretty good.  Then Laura and I went aerobic, it was fun but not as much of a workout as the last time.  Then we went to check on Joan's cats and house, everything was fine!  Then we went back to Laura's.  I needed to help her with Goliath.  He needs ear drops but hates them.  He weighs more than I do and is stronger than me so it makes it hard to hold him down.  But we did it.  Then I went to feed Dr. H's gecko and kitty.  Then I came here.  I am going home now to watch a little TV, well atleast the news and maybe do a little scrapbooking, or alteast cutting. 
 
Oh yeah before I go I just wanted to bring up one thing.  I was born the wrong gender.  Well that kinda came out wrong.  But what I mean is that it is such a boys club up here and they only invite the boys to do stuff not the girls.  Brooks invites Luke to go fishing and I bet Luke has been up in his plane but not the girls.  (BTW Christine Wilson would kill me if she heard me say girls and boys instead of women) In addition, Powers took Aaron up in his plane on like the first day he was here.   I was talking to Laura about it and she thinks its cause all the guys around here are married and that their wives who are not up here get jealous etc.  I understand that and would probably no definitely feel the same way but it still bothers me.  I just needed to vent mostly because I want to go flying so badly before I leave and it doesn't look like its going to happen...That makes me sad.  But on the bright side, I am sure that my grandmother is very very happy!
 
Signing off!
