Lloyd is leaving in 30 minutes to go into town - he's having his hair cut and dropping Dan, Chris and Laurie at the mall....they are going shopping together.
Then I will run in to pick them up at 2pm....the home...then Lloyd and I are going into Edmonton to speak tot he sunroom people about our extension....look at the plans and choose windows....doors....fixtures and fittings etc.....so we can finally get a price.
Basically the extension is half sunroom (dining end) and half walls (kitchen end)...but we will have a skylight above the island and a skylight above the dining end.....the sunroom will have a wall a third of the way up so it won't be windows to the floor....and french doors (do you call them that here?) opening onto a stone patio.....
Not sure I have explained that well.......basically we won't have a deck - I don't like decks...but instead will have wide weathered stone steps leading down into the garden instead.....
It means changing the basement windows as well because of fire safety etc.....
I'm looking forward to seeing the plans anyway....I'm fussy and I know exactly what I want...and after the stress and disaster of having the fireplace done last year, I worry that they will have interpreted things differently......
So thats my day planned....
My calf muscles ache today - and my lower back.....but I find it hard to take a rest day from this running program.....I know I should but I don't want to.
I am supposed to rest today because I didn't rest yesterday....but I think I may go for a cycle ride instead.....I was reading about cross training last night and it was interesting and it suggests cycling and also in-line skating...it also suggests cross country skiing for winter...which would be an ideal way for me to still work out in winter when running is difficult.....there is the indoor running track........at Mill Place and I can use that Thurs and Tue afternoons in the winter as I will only have Sam....but the rest of the week I would prefer to be able to do things here.....I have always wanted to get into cross country skiing anyway...so I think I may ask for ski's for Christmas......
I want to write some letters at some point today if I have time.....and I need to finish going through the girls clothes...I threw out a HUGE sack of clothes the other day - that the girls have grown out of. Their room is so much of a mess.....because we are waiting for their new furniture to arrive and the room has just been decorated...the books are all piled up on the floor and their toys are shoved in corners just waiting the new cupboards and drawers to arrive from E Children...and the bunkbeds - that will make sooooo much difference. But for now the mess is awful....
Ok another rambling post!
