After my horrible injury sidelined run yesterday (it was supposed to be an easy six but was three miles of torture) I was left grappling with the thought that this injury might be here to stay a while. 

So, how long?? I am thinking I will take a couple days off, ice (need to do still), stretch (need to do still) and take some Aleve, which my step mom has convinced me is different than Vitamin I, as my friend Angela calls it and which I am seriously against.  

Then I'll go out for a quickie and will put no pressure on myself to go further, faster, because I have a big race coming up. Noooo. I will just check things out. But I swear I think I feel better already today. Anyway... 

Boot camp tomorrow. Lots of new gals. It's a great workout and I might show you my ab, which I think I actually have now. As my sister in law was leaving we were lifting our shirts, showing each other our "abs". Thank goodness she lives two houses away.

This morning I had we had our big Building Contractors Association meeting for the Parade of Homes and it was a great turnout and I think it went really well. I was wondering when I was leaving messages yesterday if people would understand what MANDATORY meant, and all but two people understood! There was lots of good information presented and all speakers did a great job. Melissa Galli, my business partner from Windermere Capital Group spoke on scheduling and selling, Ron Ellsworth, who is a former BPD officer spoke on personal safety and Dwayne Speegle, from Speegle Leavitt Agency spoke on liability issues in the homes. A great group and big kudos to them all. 

I also took a referral today from my friend Eve Marie Bergren who runs the Boise Guest House www.Boiseguesthouse.com (the coolest and best place to stay in Boise- why stay in a hotel?) and does property management. She put me in touch with some really nice people who've already left Boise and have a great house on 8th St. I went by and looked at it today and am sure I can help them sell it quickly. More information on it soon.

I had lunch with my Dad and his wife today at Dong Khang and my Dad tells me he is going to Iraq for a month. He is an engineer. I am excited for him and want to go to, even though I know it is dangerous. 

Did get some cardio today, although it was INDOORS and do not think this REALLY counts. Can't get over the spin instructor's way of riding the bike. 

I had my sister in laws over for dinner with the cousins and all that. Told them about my deliema with my cousins and our cabin and they suggested an attorney, trust agreement, you know, the best way to handle families and Real Estate.  I am sure that when I email them all about it tomorrow the S#()$) will hit the fan, given the fact we cannot even agree on what online calendar to use. It is really not cool and I wonder sometimes how we are even related (I have thought this since I was five, but anyway). I need to say it though, and I will because I don't like to suffer silently. It has to be said now or someone will pay later, you know?

Maybe it won't rain tomorrow. Have an interesting meeting and have to finish my market analysis for 8th, so it may be easy for me to "rest" with the rain coming down. It's already getting on my nerves, this resting, though. But the goal is to FINISH ROBIE. So there.

 

Hasta manana amigos.
