Beach Bump

So we decided that we'd take our dog to dogs beach on Saturday. It's a beautiful beach area and on one side of the pier they allow dogs to run free without leashes.

The dogs are like a bunch of little kids in a playground. It's so fun to watch them. They never fight. Some like to just walk and relax. Some like to jump in the water and ride the waves.

Pepper just loves it. He romps around with a smile on his face wagging his tail and greeting all the other dogs.

Jim and I like to watch Pepper and the other dogs and we also just like the ocean air and relaxing walk................

But there are also dogs who love to run as fast as they possibly can after their play toys. Those play toys are the most important thing on their minds at the time and nothing,,,,,,,,,,,,,nothing better get in their way...............

and that includes little old ladies like me! As a dog came running through us so fast I can't even tell you what type of dog it was it caught the side of my leg/hip and being on the sand I lost my balance and went tumbling down!

So with a large lump on the front/side of my right leg and sore muscles all the way from my hip to my toes I will from now on have eyes in the back of my head as I take my relaxing walks along the beach!

oh, and no I do not wear a red dress with heels to walk on the beach :)

Drained or not?

Why is it that some days I feel like I've been bitten by a vampire during the night and all sources of energy have been drained out of me and then other days I feel just fine?
Doesn't seem to matter what I eat or do the day before or how much sleep I get.

For the last several days all I've wanted to do but couldn't do was sleep. I just wanted to lie on the couch in front of the TV and veg out.

This morning I woke up at 6am. Just woke right up without the alarm and was wide awake.
Today I've done two loads of laundry, broiled steak, baked homemade dog treats, cleaned the kitchen- twice, drove to the vacum repair shop and dropped off my vacum, brushed the dog, drove to pick up my vacum.........and I'm still wide awake!
I want to feel like this every day but Murphys Law -- tomorrow when the two boys get here I'll feel drained again before the day even starts!
