This blog will be of no major topic just what's going on around the Symens household. Today is a Wednesday and the down hill slope in a work week of which is a relief of many similar weekly occurances... at least for me.
Not much going on for me, just working this week and having Alpha on Thursday night. I attended a basketball game Tuesday at half time for the HS teams of son(s) of friend(s) against Brentwood HS where the son of Mark Sptiz was a player on that team.. Mark Spitz has graying hair and so had my friend not pointed him out, it would have gone past me. Now last week, they played against Montclair prep and the son of Denzel Washington was a player, now him I could recognize and he sat in the crowd cheering for his son quietly. I think only a couple of people approached him, I'm not the celebrity enamored variety.. it was interesting that they have the normal lives we do, but he still walked like the rest of us! That is a newsflash I'm sure to many, but not for those of us who take it in stride.
Greg has been in Las Vegas since Monday attending a yearly Concrete convention where many of his customers have displays. He is probably rolling towards home about now, hoping not to hit traffic. He says the long miles walking has his legs pretty sore but they have eaten at some good places. I have attended many of these in the past, where I enjoy a leisurely schedule during the day and than attending dinner gatherings with Greg. My schedule would consist of sleeping late, strolling the different venues of museums, shark exhibits, hotel architecture gazing sitting by the pool, reading, spa massages or a movie at the theatre within our hotel... but this year, some back pain made walking just not a "fun" option for getting around and so I stayed home. Next week he is gone to a Farm Show in Tulare and sooo that isn't one that I have ever considered attending in the rural setting of the Agriculture community.... but this event he has to man a booth for his company as they expose there services to the Ag world and talk and give away free goodies.
Meanwhile, this causes his missing two Tuesday nights of a Marriage Builders class we recently started, I've attended alone. So if he should come home at a reasonable hour tonight we will hit a makeup dvd viewing with the Wednesday night class and stay relatively caught up. God has prompted us to do some heavy lifting in our marriage currently and so this class has been a great instigator of getting to the root of some talking points. Praise Jesus.
Ashley came home from school this afternoon a bit under the weather again, thinking that her continuing strep throat episode is once again back. Might be time to be aggresive in heading this off with some hard questions to the Dr., as she has them quite often. Makes for her heavy school and study schedule to conflict with "resting" and so she gets very run down until giving into strong antibiotic treatments. Kind of a regular song and dance she has become accustomed to, but yet time to step off the dance floor for sure if another route to stopping it altogether. At least that is what mom thinks, but she will have to decide and make the follow through.
Brian's busy with the construction company; close to finishing up a large remodel project, moving along with another local remodel and than he will move onto the next project out in Irvine where he might sack at a relatives home to avoid the long commute in traffic each day.. but he'll see when that gets closer. He and April will be heading for a week to PA. to visit her sister.. The last time April visited in January, she has gotten the bug to move there, soooo I'm sure this is an "investigative" trip for Brian as well to understand how serious this might become. April just recently celebrated her 20th birithday.
Shane returned to colleges classes again this week after a loooooong break of about 2 months... having been off since early Dec. He's still in that rut of general ed classes and one fire science class a semester for now, but this week will begin a class on the Academy grounds each Friday for a 6 hour time frame and involves the physical aspects of training. He's excited, but mom dreads that his thick head of hair will now be cut off as it's been a nice change of pace for him from the forever short hair look! I know, silly thing to consider but he looks quite handsome with hair.. as he does with short hair, just somewhat younger.
till next time...
