Welcome to the March edition of the Ultimate Coffee Date hosted by Coco and Deborah. It’s also time for another edition of Fit Five Friday hosted by My First 5K and More, Running with Attitude, Run Laugh Eat Pie, Runs with Pugs, and me!
Now, grab a mug of your favorite beverage, and let’s chat briefly!
If we were having coffee…
I’d tell you that I am no longer going to NYC to run the half marathon. The training hasn’t been there. I thought about running it without training but feel like I will end up injured. And that is the last thing I want. I am happy I ran it last year and maybe will plan to go again another year.
If we were having coffee…
I’d tell you that last month I told you that I paid over $600 for night guards. Imagine my surprise when I got a message from the receptionist telling me that apparently my insurance did cover it and I was getting a check back. That money went straight to my savings account.
If we were having coffee…
I’d tell you about my fun experience when I went to get a mammogram. Last week on Thursday I got a reminder for my appointment the next day at 8:40am. The next day I left a little early so I could get something to eat for breakfast and to hopefully be seen before my appointment time. I knew it wouldn’t take long and the plan was to go back to work. I arrived at the hospital but the receptionist told me that she didn’t see my name on the calendar. I was confused thinking that maybe I had the wrong date and time. But how could I when I got a reminder the day before. Suddenly, I realized that I was in the wrong hospital. I had gone to the one I used to go. Luckily, it was still early and the correct hospital was about 15 minutes away. I arrived on time and was done in about 10 minutes.
I got my results yesterday. Everything is normal.
If we were having coffee…
I’d tell you that a few weeks ago I made an offer on a house and it was not accepted. My offer was $30k OVER the asking price! My agent told me the owners received 32 offers. The house was “cheap” and it needed some work to be done. I was ready to do it and was actually excited about it.
If we were having coffee…
I’d tell you I am now a fan of shopping at Aldi’s. I remember the store as a kid. I also remember it (years later) the store being closed on Sundays and they would only take cash or debit cards only (not the case now). I have found some great options there and for a lower price. I like to buy chips, fruit, and vegetables. I also like the balsamic vinaigrette for my salad. Can you believe that these past two weeks I have eaten a salad for lunch? Yep, my salad has spinach, strawberry, chickpeas, feta cheese, and walnuts or sunflower seeds. It is delicious and looks so pretty.
