Broken Treadmill....among other things!
Well well ... my streak of luck has run dry. My treadmill although it still works, is not functioning properly. The belt has a bubble and is shredding from the inside. I got the darn thing from Craigslist about a year ago and will probably put as much into a new belt as I initially paid for it. And will we be able to change the belt - that is the question. I can walk on it but the faster I go, the more the belt slips and it is just a matter of time before the shredding is completely done! And then what!! I'll be hurt! I've been searching for a new one ... but no luck thus far... geesh. And I was USING it steadily... and feeling GREAT!!! So now I'm back to feeling less great... we walk but it is certainly not the same.
And today we were walking at a very fast clip through our neighborhood and to my disgust BOB has a flat tire! Well we were several blocks from home so I nursed him along and we made it back. SO not only is my treadmill causing me some problems, now BOB my treasured stroller is flat! I have asked Doug to air it up ... it is happening now! So we can walk then next time I feel like it! Sunday!! (Work tomorrow).
Then Espen helped me to break a class bowl all over the deck.... it was an old bowl & shards of glass went EVERYWHERE.... and of course the dogs & baby were all standing in it and wanting to help! Man when it rains it falls....
And tonight I put my picture boards back in my studio... so many pictures... so many memories... all the pictures made me miss my dear friends in Illinois, Texas & my family as well as our friends & family in Norway & France! It was bittersweet putting them back up... part of me just wanted to start fresh but I enjoy looking at all of you! So it is all back with room for more!
It has been a hard week.... I knew Espen was ready to start going from two naps to one but it suddenly became a weird week. He took VERY long morning naps early in the week & REFUSED afternoon naps. So I decided to just keep him awake through the morning and get a good afternoon nap in... well the first day it worked sort of well - he made it until 11:30am and then he slept for about an hour and 45. Then today I pushed him to far and he fell asleep in the car for 20 minutes.... and if you know my son... he DOESN"T SLEEP IN THE CAR. So that 20 minutes was ALL the nap he wanted. So he was awake again all afternoon. So I'm tired and would love to just have the nap thing rolled out by next week..... but good news is that he has on his own again decided to just sleep all night... any kind of change makes his night sleep disrupted... so when Anders left, Espen woke at night for milk and went right back to sleep. He never stays awake long... just long enough for me to be awake! So next week Anders comes back.... hopefully we'll have nap & night time all worked out!! So mommy can be rested!
The good news is that my studio is operational! It seems like it has been a long time... but I got clay out & threw.... it was relaxing. There are several things that need to be changed but it functions nicely! And it is my space! And I've been getting rid of things that I don't enjoy doing so it is mostly just a pottery studio! And I love it!!
Well I appreciate the support for my nap drama... and for my broken pieces of life's treasures... It is surprising how many things I break! I am cursed...
