It just started raining here. And I don't think it will stop for quite some time. On the news, they said to expect wet weather from Friday to Wednesday. My flowers and plants needed the rain today, and I'm actually sort of enjoying it.
I go back to Mayo on Thursday for a test called a MAG 3. The test is in the morning. I will meet with the doctor to go over the results in the afternoon. Bill is going with me, and he's not yet been up to Mayo. I am hoping the test won't take long and we can find a fun place to eat lunch. From what I know about the MAG 3, it won't be very much fun, but I'm glad I have it scheduled. We will just leave really early on Thursday instead of spending the night in Rochester.
In other news, I taught 5:40 a.m. aerobics today. I had to teach another aerobics class at 8 a.m., so I walked for over an hour between classes. Bill went with me. It was fun to have him there, and I think my "regulars" in the 8 a.m. class enjoyed meeting him. I don't think he's been to one of my fitness classes since I've taught at the CF Rec. Needless to say, we took naps when we got home.
I thought a bonus of having to teach that early would be see the sunrise. However, it was actually TOO EARLY to see the sunrise. I guess I have no idea what time the sun actually comes up. I always thought as I got older I would turn into more of a morning person, but it hasn't happened yet.
In other news, I got about 3-4 inches cut off my hair last weekend. It's still longer than my chin, and I can still pull it back into a little ponytail if I wear a headband. I have some side bangs and lots of layers. I like to be able to pull my hair back, but it does look better shorter rather than longer. I have been getting my hair cut at Kate's On Main in Cedar Falls. I started going there for one reason--you can book your appointment online. For some reason, I hate calling places to make appointments (doctors, dentists, auto repairs shops, hair stylists, etc.) and always put it off. So making appointments online is right up my alley. It is also by Scratch Cupcake Bakery, which Bill and I recently discovered and have become obsessed with. We've only been there twice, but we talk about going quite a bit. I stopped in one Friday night and they had run out of cupcakes. I am told that this is a common occurrence.
I am still teaching my Alzheimer's course online. We are halfway done already (it's only a 4 week course). After this session, I will teach Psych of Aging online. Bill is teaching two classes this summer, but his are face to face. I am fortunate to be able to teach in the summer and also do some advising for summer orientation--which starts in June. Of course, it brings in some extra money, but more than that, I don't know what I would do with myself if I wasn't working at all. This summer I am also working on a research project with two students and another faculty member.
Well, that's all. Enjoy the rain.
