It has been some time so let me see what ramblings are running around in my head…..
Not much but I will try to write some stuff down all the same. I had a moment of horror the other day when I weighed myself and realized that I had allowed myself to put back on a good amount of the weight I took off last year. I am in better shape than when I started last year but the added weight is still a no play situation so back on the intense diet and exercise I go. I have already trimmed a few pounds and am excited to see results in energy level and overall activity that I know comes with the added exercise.
I have been studying and am going to take my FCC license test next week for one to two levels on my HAM radio license. The ZS has been working on developing an emergency radio network for times of trouble and with all the earthquakes we have seen lately coupled with the fact that we live in a city that sits on a fault line, then it is good to be ready. Now that I think about it, it does not take an earthquake to cause streets in St. Louis to collapse as it is. I have obtained a few radios and some other equipment, now I have to learn to operate all of them effectively.
Easter was good for the kids and I love to see Oliver at the age where he loves to rip into things that he knows are for him. At the first Easter egg hunt he went to, he had some confusion as to the rules. In his hunt, you would find an egg and then throw it at the nearest child you see. This was all well and good until he saw one egg break open on impact and exposed the candy treats inside. At this he realized all the sweet things he had thrown away and was upset for about a whole second or two. At the second hunt that was at his grandparents, he seemed to get into it until the thrill of running free outweighed any egg excitement.
I am sure there is much that I am leaving out so I will have to make another update tonight or the near future as the details seep back into my mind.
