The weekend like it began, with no hot water. By Sunday, we had enough of smelling the house up and skated off to Kathy's work to clean up. That felt nice.
Packer game recap: We will get 'em next year.
Sunday's can be fun days or days of panic it seems, meaning you are trying to enjoy it or trying to get things that must be completed before the circus begins again. It was the former for us, though we did get things done. I tried a new dough for grilling pizza. It used a touch of cornmeal, which gave it a certain texture and was much easier to roll out thin, but the taste was just a bit off. I would like to play with that some again. I have trouble getting the temp up on the grill with the pizza stone, not sure if I need to force more air into the grill. It was a nice crisp and enjoyable, no worries.
The weekend started out nice, we went and visited friends. They had a a system that made soda for you, which is I know what you are thinking, finally - that going to the store to get that pre made soda is difficult, with the opening of the can and pouring into a glass and all... It was kind of fun and yummy to be fair. We did play a game of 80's trivia, which was totally tubular.
Saturday we jumped on the train to downtown to a home show. It was almost exciting but it was nice to see Kathy's sister and it was nice to get out of the house.
Back to the water heater issue, I called a friend that works in the repair place we are working with and he said he would take care of it. I am guessing they already had the part on order, but it was nice that they came today, though I had to leave work to let them in the house. It did not take them long, but I got worried when he started taking the furnace apart until he realized this was a water heater repair. He must be taking quite a few calls for furnace repairs right now. After he left, I noticed the furnace was not coming on at all. So, I figured he messed something up when he took the furnace apart. He left the furnace switch off. Luckily (not sure if this is lucky or not) this happened before when we remodeled our upstairs and I found out where the switch was one late evening coming home from vacation with out heat.
So, I have working with a couple of friend on weight loss support. I am hoping to get to 215 pounds by my trip this summer. The problem is I moving the wrong direction. I have had sporadic workouts, but the snacking is the issues I am guessing. (it's not like I am tracking any of this) I know the importance of doing this for long-term health and the ability to enjoy live a bit. Next week has to be better.
