Hump Day...Spring has Sprung !

Blog Time....

So I got my Motorcycle out of Storage last night and it fired up first try, YES !! The riding season has fallen upon us here in Wisconsin. This weekend is the first big run of the year, the FLOOD run, ride up the Wisconsin side of the river and come back the Minnesota side of the river. It is a beautiful ride any time of year but it is a neat way to see everything coming to bloom in the spring. I cannot wait to start riding this year-- I have so many places I want to go again and it will be fun. Riding is like my inner peace, and when I put my bike away in the winter it is like locking up my sanity. Not good. Sturgis 2006 is already planned but I have so many weekend trips I want to do as well, just me and the open road, face in the wind. There is nothing better than that.

One minor detail, I now have a puppy to deal with. Honey freaked out when I started up my bike, so we are going to have to work on that one. I do not want her afraid of my bike or any other. She will be okay I am sure I do not plan on leaving her home all summer either, we will camp and go for trips in the truck as well. My cousin has offered to puppysit/housesit if needed and I totally trust her as well.

Today I feel better than the day before but so far so good. I could use a nap this afternoon at work. I feel like my brain is not fully engaged and I forgot more than I remember in 3 weeks. Sounds sick and wrong but I am glad to be back to work and my routine. I am surrounded by good people and they keep me going so I need to be back by them.

Did I mention my Mom works at Centurytel with me? Funny story. She has been with this company 35 years this year-- she is 2 years from retirement as she needs the benefits at 55 due to my Mom and Dad both being Diabetic. They need insurance. So she claims to do as little as possible and work less and less until retirement. She is in another department than me, but we see each other on my breaks when we work the same shifts. She is funny- she knows all the oldies around the place and now all my friends and Co-workers too.

Did I also mention how much I love my mom? Well I do, but she does drive me crazy sometimes. I think that is how it is supposed to be though. She means so much to me-- we have had our ups and downs don't get me wrong. I have made plenty of mistakes that she will not let me forget. I can tell her anything ( I know when to stop though). She always seems to surprise me when I think I have no support she is there. With this surgery my family says nothing for over the year long process that it takes to get approved and on a plan. So I wondered if they cared. Well, who was there when I woke up? My momma- kissing me and telling me I was still beautiful. She is so excited to see me lose the weight and constantly comments on it to me. She is now asking questions and being so supportive. I love her so much for that right now. We are getting along so well, probably because my dad is flat on his back again. I just don't want to jinx it so I am just going to stop talking about it. Like I said we have our ups and downs--I am going to take advantage of this "Up".

Nothing else exciting here today- mailed my speeding ticket payment- I hate paying fines. What a waste of money. I was only going 10 over. heehee.

I went for a long walk with Honey B last night- It felt so good. I keep getting these bursts of energy and just cannot stop so our walk turned into like 6 miles. I feel so much better after a walk. Now I am looking for a Treadmill and some weights to work on my arms. Listen to me !! I cannot believe this is the same person. I can tell you it definitely is the same person- just improved. Woo hoo !

Okay enough for now- Blog at you later.
