I got carried away with the walking thing today.\u00a0 This is what happens when I have my school planning done, and no \u201chard\u201d deadlines to meet.\u00a0 It started off with the walk to the train, then from the train to my haircut (gotta look good when I\u2019m home).\u00a0 After the haircut, I walk over to Solana Mall to pick up a few things Judy needed to finish off her Xmas list.\u00a0 Oh yeah, I ate a pizza at Tuba Station Pizza.\u00a0 Really good!\u00a0 Then I walked over to the nearby South German Bakery for a splurge buy on some bread.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t need it, but I definitely wanted it, and it tastes great.<\/p>\n
After the bakery, I\u2019m still in need of a splurge so I walked to Dragonfly Spa and got a massage.\u00a0 I\u2019m not sure how smart that was.\u00a0 The masseuse rubbed some holes in my shoulders and back, or at least I thought she did.\u00a0 Ouch, I\u2019m gonna be sore.<\/span><\/p>\n After the massage, I walk to the train, and then from the train to the apartment.\u00a0 After dumping some packages, I walk over to Metro to pick up groceries.\u00a0 I taxi home, and unload the groceries and sacks from the earlier shopping excursion.\u00a0 Overall, I think I covered between 4 & 5 miles on foot.\u00a0 This is probably my single day Beijing record.\u00a0 I am beat, but alive.\u00a0 I burned some calories, but the bread and pizza offset any exercise.\u00a0 The knees are feeling ok.\u00a0 If I can move at all tomorrow, I\u2019ll be grateful.<\/span><\/p>\n Judy gets home after school.\u00a0 She has the sniffles.\u00a0 We talk some about our packing plan for Friday.\u00a0 She has a half-day Friday, and I\u2019m home around 1:30.\u00a0 Our flight to Sanya, China (some people call it \u201cChinese Hawaii\u201d), leaves around 6:30pm.\u00a0 Sanya is at the southern tip of Hainan Island, between Hong Kong and Vietnam.\u00a0 It is tropical, and supposed to be beautiful.\u00a0 We\u2019re ready for a break, but as always, the work and deadlines between now and then are daunting.\u00a0 Judy is off to bed early, trying to beat a cold that seems to be coming on.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I got carried away with the walking thing today.\u00a0 This is what happens when I have my school planning done, and no \u201chard\u201d deadlines to meet.\u00a0 It started off with the walk to the train, then from the train to … Continue reading
