Thor and I yesterday

Getting things done this week. This morning I had an appointment to x-ray my knees. I was done 4 minutes after my scheduled appt, I appreciate that:) Tomorrow I’m going to get my vitamin level tested or something, I don’t even know, it’s just some normal routine check that my doctor who looked at my knees told me I have to do. Jim did it a year or two ago. I just called the orthodontics office and made an appointment for Thursday to get my retainer fixed, cause apparently one part on my upper teeth is loose (my dentist told me to go get it fixed almost a year ago and I haven’t been yet,..oops).
Today we are getting our car back from having it repaired from Jim’s accident (we were supposed to get it back weeks ago but it was more damaged than we thought). At some point this week I have to go and get a beach pass for the car as well. In Stamford you need a parking pass for all public beaches, which seems stupid but whatever. I’m also waiting for our building to do some yearly inspection of the apartment today or tomorrow. Since I don’t want Thor to freak out too much or run away or something when they come, I want to be with him, so I have been waiting all day for nothing. The test tomorrow might be quick, but I read that they have long waiting even when you have an appointment. So, we’ll see, Thor might have to be alone for awhile.

It’s not much, but it feels good to get sh*t done the week before I start a new year. Iiiihhh, it’s my birthday on Monday! (have I mentioned that I love birthdays 😉 ) We haven’t made any plans this weekend to celebrate, but I have something I want to do on Monday. Just need a dog sitter and a bit of courage:) 

Update: Doctor just called me about my knees. There’s no real issue there. There seems to be something small in one knee and if I have pain I can eat a bunch of painkillers for a week (I hate pills, so…no). I tried to ask him more questions but he wanted to hang up. So we’ll see what happens next. But, that’s good news that there is no real problems. Yay!

We found a new path to one of the parks near us
Thor is very handsome in his new haircut ♥

Hi! Hope you’re doing good! I have had a pretty nice morning. I took Thor out, gave him breakfast, ate a banana and went to the gym while my hubby was getting ready for work. T and I walked by the gym around 6:45 and it was packed, like every machine was occupied. But when I showed up at 7:20 there was a girl in there for the first 4 minutes and then I was completely alone for an hour. A short warmup, 20 minutes elliptical, 20 min using weight machines and then finish with a little bit of abs work. I was so sweaty! It’s rare that I get sweaty, especially in the gym. When I dance I can get sweaty because I push myself harder and set high goals for myself, but in the gym, not much. But today I was Sweaty Betty and I loved every second of it. 

The new x-ray machines at the radiology place has arrived but they couldn’t schedule me until next Tuesday, so I still don’t know anything about my knees. But as long as I keep moving my body it feels ok. And to be clear, my knees aren’t worse than they have been before. My husband apparently thought so because I have mentioned them more I guess, because I also had a tight muscle that was bothering me this time, but it’s been on and off for like 10 years. Some days it’s harder to walk in stairs, and some days I can do everything a body could be capable of:) It’s just good to check if there are things going on in there.
