Well, this shall be interesting. My mom signed us both up for yoga. Meh… I’ve never really done yoga before. I can do the tree pose well, but stopped after I hurt my ankle. The pressure screwed it up again. The class will be on Monday evenings.
\nTonight of course is a no go since it is the Fourth of July. Next week will be the intended target. Oh, joy. Well, maybe it’ll be okay.
\nPretty much, Mom and I haven’t been able to go walking much due to the heat. With it in the hundreds… nope, not even water is good enough to carry out the task. I’d likely keel over from dizziness. We’ll likely only do hill walking on weekends when we can go out early.
\nI guess I’ll start working on limbering myself up again. I’ve always been pretty flexible. I touch my feet easily when standing… sometimes even just rest my fingers against the floor for the hell of it. The same goes when on the floor, minus my hands touching it.
\n‘Pretty good at turning myself into a sandwich, too. What is that? Usually sitting and resting my upper body on it like a blanket. Sometimes I’ll have my legs crossed or the like. I find it feels nice for some reason.
\nWell, I got up around six thirty Friday morning. The night before held troubled sleep as usual. Trying to go to sleep before midnight usually is. So, yeah\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 little sleep.
\nUpon getting up I got a small bowl of cereal in me, brushed my teeth and got my things ready. Then I waited until the time to leave came around. That was 7:30.
\nI dozed some in the car for the sake of it and we got to Austin around 9:45, I believe. As usual we stopped to eat a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153late breakfast\u00e2\u20ac\u009d at Denny\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s. We got our food about thirty minutes after ordering. Well, when full we headed off again. Reaching the mall at 10:30, Mom decided it was a good time to see if we could find me some \u00e2\u20ac\u0153yoga clothes\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.
\nI don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t like to wear any pants or shorts that aren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t denim or at least of that thickness\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 so \u00e2\u20ac\u0153yoga\u00e2\u20ac\u009d is loosely considered. I found a pair of Capri\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s quickly enough, but Mom looked around as well leading our little expedition to be a shopping spree for her too. She got two shirts after looking around for the right fit. We finally got out of there to reach the hair salon at eleven on the dot, which is when my mom\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s hair appointment started.
\nI left her there and looked for my dad who was at the food court. While we had been looking around for clothes, he looked about briefly for shoes. So, I soon joined him in the pursuit. We went to Sears, Macy\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s and JCPenny\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 he found nothing he liked.
\nBy then I had ten minutes until my hair appointment, so I went to wait and my dad went on his own way. My stylist was already there, so the wait wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t long. I got my hair washed, talked with my stylist about things going on and had about an inch of hair taken off all around. When it was done I paid, left a tip and went in search of my dad. I found him at the food court again, this time reading from his iPod.
\nWe decided to see if there was an art supply store around. I had been needing some markers for the longest time, but no store where we live carries the brand. We found a Micheal\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s, but they didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have any of the markers in gray. In fact, they only came in large colored packs. I found some white gel pens though and some artist pens I thought would be nice to try out since the pens I use are really made for writing.
\nAfter that we stopped by Barnes and Noble. Neither of us found anything, but it was a good way to kill time. We left soon enough to check on Mom since a decent amount of time had passed. She was just beginning to get her freshly cut hair dried and styled, so we had to wait ten more minutes. Dad offered to get me a drink and so we did that. Getting a Strawberry-Apple Chiller, my dad and I waited on her. He resumed his reading, I just sat there and drank.
\nWhen she was finally done, we stopped by a candle store my mom loves. She got some candles for summer and I saw a little gift-bag thing that had two small Sweet Pea candles and hand sanitizer. My sister likes the scent, so I decided to grab it for her.
\nWith one more stop for my mom, who needed hair clips, we headed off. Though it was slightly less than four hours after was last ate, Mom wanted to eat again. By what I know of her, she needs to eat every four hours else her blood sugar drops and she gets dizzy and starts shaking. So, we ate at a soup and salad place.
\nDone with all that was planned, we headed home. Hearing we only found a Micheal\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s, however, Mom insisted we look for a Hobby Lobby. So, due to that we got lost in town for a while\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Not so much lost as, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153not quite certain\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. Well after a long while we finally found it and I was able to get the markers I was in search of.
\nSince we were off our usual course we decided to roam about the city some after that. Since the State Capitol is a tourist area, we looked at some buildings, went through the area my sister once lived at and spoke about possibilities. Those possibilities happened to be my dad wanting to take pictures of buildings and such there this summer and my mentioning of coming back for a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153vacation\u00e2\u20ac\u009d that consisted of walking around certain areas, checking out shops and so forth. Apparently my mom liked that idea. Huh.
\nWell, we finally got back to where we needed to be to get out of there so we officially left at 4:30. There was some traffic to begin with, but we got home just fine at six. Despite hat we didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t go home directly.
\nAfter entering town, we headed for Chili\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s. Dad and I weren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t hungry, but went for my brother\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s sake. We usually eat out on Friday nights and Dad wanted to see my brother\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 so\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 yeah. There was waiting, drinking and talking\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 from what I gathered things are rather the same when it comes to my brother\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s job. The food finally came then, we ate and eventually went our separate ways.
\nWhile Dad and I headed to the car we murmured we should have popped by then. He and I aren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t used to eating so much in a day. By then it was seven and we finally made it home.
\nIf I had been lucky I could have gone to bed after that. No, my mom wanted to watch television\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 so we stayed up to watch television. After getting in a decent amount of shows we finally went to bed. I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t remember the time\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6. Maybe it was eleven or a bit later? I likely fell asleep around twelve then.
\nTo wake up at 6:30.
\nI got up, got my shoes on and my cap ready. Eating a quick, small bowl of cereal Mom and I headed out for walking.\u00c2\u00a0 We were done by eight, so I took a shower and caught up on a few more hours of sleep before I had to go grocery shopping. While out my dad questioned about using my new art supplies. I was not amused. The rest of Saturday is a blur from there. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m pretty sure I watch more television with Mom that night, though.
\nSunday was about the same. I woke up, ate, went out walking, did chores and slept during the afternoon since I still hadn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t recovered from Friday. Another reason was because the A\/C wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t working properly so it was 86 degrees in the house. When it is that warm to boarding on hot\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 yeah\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 I go into cat mode and lay down. When it began to cool again I did some more chores and decided to try out the markers I got.
\nFor a couple of hours I went back through my art to pictures I never got to finish coloring due to the gray marker I had dying on me before I could finish. I stayed up until 2:30 I believe.
\nSo\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 it is now the Fourth of July. I got up at eight, put on my shoes and cap, and ate a small bowl of cereal. By the time I was finished Mom was just getting to her cereal, so I meddled on the computer a bit. We set off once she was done and got the right leash and collar for her dog out. It was an hour later than the day before.
\nDespite it was later in the morning, walking was rather good for me today. I usually like going before the sun has gotten up into the sky much to avoid the coming heat, but I wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t terribly affected by it today. In fact, I was sort of on a roll and full of energy. Maybe I have caught up on my sleep well enough.
\nGetting back home, I cooled down for a few minutes and played fetch with my dad\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s dog. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m his designated \u00e2\u20ac\u0153fitness buddy\u00e2\u20ac\u009d as far as my mom is concerned. I do it because I can and my parents like that I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m keeping him active. They like that I do it because it helps him lose weight and stay trim.
\nWith that accomplished I did intend to take a shower, but my dad beat me to that. So, instead I tended to the dishes some and kept to my room. When he was done I of course took to it.
\nHe left after that to get some fruit and I washed my cap since it was quite sweaty. After hanging it up to dry I came back in here to begin typing this. In the middle of this entry he returned with lunch, so I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been eating and typing right here. It is now almost twelve.
\nThat is all for now. Hallelujah!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
