I am so tired

31 was a bit of a rough year. We will see what 32 is like. One thing I have noticed is that my metabolism has halted to a brutal stop. I have been trying to walk every day.I park far away from my building at work and walk. This is nice but it is not helping the gut I am acquiring. I have decided to start working out again and possibly get to the point of running a 5K. I used to run 5Ks all the time in High School and I would like to be able to do it again. So I have started the couch to 5K plan. Yesterday was a running day and I did pretty good for just starting out. Today was a class they offer to Faculty and Staff called "Raise the Bar". It is about 1hr of weight lifting and strengthening and it always kick my butt.

I took Ava to the pool when I got home from work and she is really doing a good job of teaching herself how to swim. I used to be a lifeguard and help teach swim lessons so I could totally teach her but she doesn't want to listen to me. She has been watching other kids and quickly picked up on it. I am happy because it is saving me money on swim lessons.

Lately

Things have been so crazy at work. After going out of town for the 4th, we returned to piles of work. Ava was excited to go back to school after we got back but is now over it. She has had a stomach issue this week and wants to be at home. We will go to my parent's this weekend so Ava will be happy.

A stray Husky dog had been hanging around for a couple of days. I posted a found ad and stated it had been seen in our neighborhood. Two people have gotten back to me saying they have lost a dog. Ever since I posted the ad, I have not seen the dog. It is driving me crazy.
