The excitement never stops (because it never starts)

Not too much new or interesting going on so far today.
I got up and went grocery shopping. I decided to stock up a little, so I ended up spending almost $90.
Once I got home I took the various kinds of meat (I bought a lot, which is part of why my grocery bill was so high) out of their packaging, wrapped them up in wax paper and tin foil, labeled each package, then stuck them in the freezer.
Then I went over to the clubhouse to get in an interval workout on the treadmill, but found that I just wasn’t up to it. I’m not sure what was going on, but after a little more than ten minutes my shins were killing me, and I couldn’t keep going. I was having difficulty even properly lifting my legs for any sort of stride.
So I called it quits and headed back home.
I threw a roast and some vegetables into the crock pot, and got to work on making pumpkin bread.
Once the pumpkin bread was in the oven I called in to work to see what was going on and to point out that they were at work while I was not.
Kathleen rattled off the events of today and yesterday much like a young child on the phone (“And then, Chris did this and then I did that and Scott did something else and I can ride my bike real fast and…”), and I found that I was missing out on a great deal, apparently.
After that I gave a friend of mine in Tucson a call, but he couldn’t talk for very long, as he actually had plans.
The pumpkin bread hasn’t properly cooled yet, but I did impatiently try a piece (or three), and it seems to have turned out very well.
I started on a couple of pictures last night, but I don’t really feel like working on any of them, so I might sift through some of my various downloaded pictures to see if anything sparks my interest to use as a reference.
And that’s pretty much it for today.
My “vacation” is actually almost over, since tomorrow is the last of my days off before I get back to being on my usual weekend, and while I did some things, I really didn’t do anything especially interesting.
Again, that’s hardly surprising, especially considering that I really didn’t plan on doing anything.
For the most part, I don’t want much more out of life than just quiet time to myself, but it wouldn’t bother me if something interesting would happen every so often, but I guess that’s just not in the cards.
I may write more later, but that’s all for right now…
