Hi Team!
Sorry I am behind one day. I have been feeling really crummy. Nothing specific to put a finger on, just generally icky with "almost" dizziness and intestinal discomfort. No temperature, not sick enough to stay home. But no energy either. I have been pushing the fluids, a minimum of 3 quarts yesterday and today with NO caffeine included. Whenever I think I am starting to feel better I make the mistake of getting hungry and eating. Then I feel sick again. I hope it passes soon.
I forgot to reset Pete this morning so what I have for you is a two day total. 17, 298 steps for two days. The sleep is the real challening part. I have had lots that I need to do lately and I can't seem to slow the mind down at night. Then yesterday and today I was exhausted during the morning and afternoon. UGH!
I would say realistically I am 2 for three for both day 111 and 112. I did not get to go weigh and measure today, I didn't get time and I don't have a scale at home. It will likely be Sunday or Monday before I will be able to at this point. Sorry.
I am leaving town in the morning for Dallas Oregon to go keep score for the Bible Quiz meet at the Dallas Alliance Church. After the meet ends on Saturday, I am going to go meet Gigaherz, a fireman I have chatted with a few times at the Crusty Old Jakes web site. I am looking forward to meeting him and touring his station with my husband. As I write this, I am baking cookies. (Oatmeal raisin and Sugar cookie/M&M cookies) I would never show up empty handed to visit a fire station! (admittedly I cheated and used pre made/pre measured dough from a fund raiser I participated in because I didn't have time to do it from scratch. Otherwise I would have made sugar cookies with my firefighter cookie cutters. I hope the firemen there will forgive me for that =D ) I will arrive home VERY late Saturday night so I will have to catch up the blog later.
Due to a need to keep somewhat anonymous, most of my team does not seem to be interested in being featured in this blog, and I can totally understand that. However, for those who don't mind, I will begin featuring them next week, starting with Coach Alex!
Take care and I'll blog at you all in a few days.
Stay Safe!!

Report From Ladder Company 40 -Days 23 and 24
Hi Team!
Wow, I have been on a flat run! (Not literally according to Pete, but I sure have been busy!)
Friday, (day 23) I left for work bright and early, worked the morning shift, went to the mall for my walking workout, went home for a shower and headed back to work to take care of a few errands, then on to my afternoon shift. I got off work an hour early and then it was off to the quiz meet. I did not get home until well after 10 pm at night. I had left for work at 5:20 that morning. LONG DAY!
On Friday, I still got in 12, 232 steps. YAY ME! I also drank nearly 3 quarts of fluids!!!!
I had very little sleep the night before, (approx 5 hours) but that isn't a surprise if you've been reading this blog. On Saturday, I got up feeling refreshed after my 7 hours of sleep which I had awakened from before an alarm went off. I had slept well! I got ready and then headed off to a quiz meet, day two. I got home a little before 5:00 pm. Scorekeeping is tough work requiring attention to detail, concentration and a large healthy sense of humor. I never leave a quiz meet with out a huge headache and today was no exception so I took it easy for a while when I got home. Then my neighbor wanted me to take her on some errands and I did. Then I let her stay here a while because my house is warm and hers isn't. Now, here I am, tired, relaxed and ready for bed, home alone. Oh, did I mention that my son is at his friend's house and my husband is away working all weekend?
I don't have much to report statistically today. The Pete's buttons kept getting pushed so I don't have an accurage step count. I drank at least two quarts of fluids today, but stopped keeping track. ANd as I mentioned above, I got at least 7 hours of sleep last night! Yay me, God IS able.
Tomorrow is a day of rest, and I intend to.
Until later, stay safe!
