Ok. Same as usual. Again. That would be redundant. Up none to early but we managed to drag ourselves to the gym and get in a last of the week workout. Seems I always need it no matter how much I have exercised before. When will it be enough?
I have several workouts in my phone courtesy of the trainer in my Auburn home gym. I just follow those so I don’t have to make them up on my own. Very handy for travel I have found.
The only hurdle so far this trip, workout wise, is this gym has a dearth of kettlebells. At least matching weight kettle bells. I have a lot of kettlebell work in my workouts and only having a pair of 15 and 25 weights is not enough. And the 15’s are odd sized. Fun.
Back home and not much doing. We certainly hit ready for our day. Cleaned up and dressed. Fed Emily.
Emily is going with her mom to get a pedicure and her dad is going as well. I am staying to do some more work, yay, on the house. I need to replace several handrail boards that are rotten. I could most likely wait till next year and if it were my choice I would. But Emily inherited the camp (gift, really) and she wants the work done. As does her father. So I worked my afternoon replacing boards.
I think they turned out ok. Just fine.
The gang returned late in the day and Hank said he might replace a couple more boards. His choice, as I told him, I am happy with what I did.
I found out, once Emily got back, she had taken great offense to a recent blog post or two. Especially the one about her father and the day we hung out. She also took offense at all my comments that I was not having fun and my vacation was work. And a few other things too.
I admit, upon rereading the post about her Dad that I was mean spirited and nasty. It is her Dad and my father in law but I still should not have used such wording in a public forum. I did tell her I was sorry several times. She was really very angry.
But, she did suggest we go to Gifford’s (ice cream) for dinner and play mini golf. An olive branch, sort of, because she is still angry. But I got some vacation I had been missing. Tomorrow we are going to Quebec City, Canada. Two nights. Should be fun and it’s a real vacation. I am not looking forward to the 3.5 hr drive but that’s what it takes.
After golf and ice cream dinner, back to camp. Emily still had some words for me, strong ones. I have really upset and angered her. I only want her happy, of course, so this is upsetting to me too. I can only say sorry so many times.
We are now lying in bed, she reading and me blogging (duh). Soon I will end this and read too. Maybe now.
