Just As Busy?

I guess when you are a busy person naturally, post Ironman is really no different from every day living. I spent most of my Sunday catching up on all of the chores and to-do's that I have neglected for the past few months.

First up? cleaning the bedroom. That included putting up all of my Florida gear and doing a ton of laundry. My room was a complete wreck, but it is starting to look more like a bedroom. Of course I had some help cleaning with Rooney and Cayenne.

We love to keep mommy company!

Next? The office space. I was facing 2 years of PT school books, notes, and trash just piled everywhere. I didn't even know where to start. I couldn't believe how disorganized everything had become. I don't know how I managed to make it through last semester. Notes were found everywhere except in their proper binder. It was such a mess!
lI am still not completely finished with this area, but it is getting better.

Following the big cleaning session I took Roo out for a run. Cayenne barked for only the second time ever when I left without her, and Dave said she was not very happy with being left behind. She can't go running right now, though, because she has an injury to her back foot that is still healing, plus she was spayed last Tuesday. Roo and I just went for 23 minutes exactly- enough to stretch our legs.

And finally, I had my family over for dinner. Yes, I attempted to serve food to others. I am very proud to say that everyone ate the food, and so far no sickness has been reported.

Here is my papa kicking the soccer ball to Roo. I had to get a picture of him in his Harley clothes with his skull t-shirt and new cap on. Business man by week, Harley warrior by weekend! Oh, and papa has a new blog too- he is also on facebook now, so feel to ask him to be your friend!

The week of domestication has been fun, but everyone keep me in check to make sure I don't get into this home-making rut!
