Oh, people, I've been busy. This two jobs thing is for the birds! I'm helping out a nursing home 3 days per week for the next 3 weeks while their therapist is gone. They would really like me to work 2 days a week (4 hours a day) in the future, but I'm not so sure. It turns out I don't really like working more than 40 hours a week. Hell, I've never liked working more than 40 hours a week. Anyway, it's made for a long week already, and I still have tomorrow to go. Then I work Wednesday, Friday and Saturday for 2 weeks. This is not a schedule I will be keeping up after that, for sure! But I do so enjoy the old people. It has been my goal to get each patient outside for part of their treatment. Really, nobody should be missing the glorious spring weather we've had this week, especially old people in a nursing home.

I did 40 minutes on the stairmaster today. If you had told me (ever) that I would do 40 minutes on the stairmaster I would have thrown my ninja cat right at your face. Still, though, the pounds are not falling off. I am seriously, seriously, tired of standing on the scale and having it spew out the same numbers. Shit. I had a conversation with a patient today about how much easier it is to be overweight than to try to lose it. We agreed that pie tastes better than most other things on the planet. He told me not to go losing too much weight because I'm a "Daisy May" in his opinion. Then he explained that Daisy May was a cartoon character with an hourglass figure, and compared her to Daisy Duke. Yeah, I guess I can handle that. I just want it in a smaller version.

When PB and I went to the 'Burgh we got to see a friend of ours (that's him up there at the top) compete in a bodybuilding competition. The dude competes in the 50+ category, and I seriously thought he was in his 30s. I had NO FREAKIN' CLUE he was 50. And here I was feeling fancy over my patients thinking I'm in my 20s. All the biggest names in bodybuilding were there, and it was pretty cool. They came within feet of us, and I thought PB might actually have to sit there in his pee pants all night long. We saw my Jackass and SIL, along with their two monster puppies, and even had time to see Peg, Chris, J and Baby May for breakfast AND a t-ball game! Serious fun!!!

The biggest names (and bodies) in body building

Baby May's not-so-subtle-doggy-style-begging.

J kickin' the cool hat while rounding 3rd!

Of course, you should stay tuned because you KNOW I took pictures of some serious fashion faux pas at the body building show!
