P.E Class

Made it to First PE Class

I attended the first PE class yesterday morning. We really did nothing much but hear all about the rules and regulations – most of them came under the DUH category. I think today will be more productive as the instructor will evaluate and set up a program to help reach my goals.

She passed out a sheet to feel out.  One of the fields is to define our goals. Gosh some people took up the whole paragraph. All I could come up with was “improve my mobility and endurance”.

The weather here is crazy windy and lots of rain. It was more of a challenge getting to the class than being in the class yesterday. Yikes! I found my way to the machine to purchase the parking pass and it was broken. I got out my map and headed for another machine only to find the whole parking area surrounded by a chain link fence. After 5 mins of being in a line of vehicles I found a third machine – it ate every other quarter so it took two dollars to get to the one dollar mark and get a freaking pass! Wrong is so many ways.

Once I found parking near the classroom area all was good – stressed out but I got there. I was planning on finding the admin building and purchasing a semester pass but the weather gave me an easy out on that one.

Today I am looking out the window and honestly it is one of those days weather wise that only a ding bat would go out in if they did not have to.  And, gosh I have to.

I do not drive a lot anymore because frankly I get lost and it is not a fun thing to do anymore. I used to love to drive drive drive but now I rather have  someone else do it. Geezz the wind and rain is crazy heck out there. Hope the machines work today.

So maybe more later if the power stays on.

Turkey Talk

IMGP0006One 21 pound turkey ready to go in the oven on Thursday night. KRP cooked it up along with making gravy and mashed potato’s for our support groups Christmas Party on Friday. The party was fun and there were about 35 or so peeps in attendance. I had a good time even though the volunteer valet parker parked my truck about as far away from the club house where the party was held as possible and I ended up walking in the rain to retrieve it so I could load up the pans to take home.

I decided since he was enjoying his chance to down some of the good grub that I would get my truck myself so dont think it was a bad thing it just was I did not expect it to be such a long ways away LOL I actually enjoyed the hike in the rain just wish it had been a tad closer ha. Such is life now a few blocks walk is a hike geeze . …

Some of the gals I have met in the group have been taking an Adaptive PE course at the local Community College and took me along to the Holiday Party for all the Adaptive PE classes students. It was crazy so many folks going every which way but loose, lots of stuff going on, well .. I was thrown into sensory overload! Way to much way to fast going on around me so I kind of missed out on a lot of what was going on around me.

I did get the catalog with the College course descriptions etc, the form the Doctor has to fill out, and the schedule and managed to get them all home to look at. The class sounds like something that I could really use since they evaluate physical capibilities on an individual bases and then I would set my own goals but I am not sure if I want to commit to going four days a week for the whole semester. I have not made any long term commitments in the past few years and am sort of chicken to do so. Then again having to go somewhere everyday might be a good motivator to stave off the winter doldrums and do I ever know that this wacky body of mine sure could use some help.

I went online and found my student ID, updated my info ( just the email has changed ) so I have to wait until the system decides I am allowed to register for any classes. Maybe I will go with KRP and do it in person this afternoon if I don’t change my mind again.

It was kind of fun looking over the classes I have taken via the Los Rios Community College system. I figured out that i with my catalog rights (where when you start towards a degree you are guaranteed the requirements will be applicaple that were in effect when you started) I actually have earned a AA or AS is Math Science and Engineering here ummm … wonder what I would have if I transferred all my units from everywhere to Sac State LOL no fun in that . ..cause to get the four year from them I would have to take a foreign language again and now days coherent use of English is pot luck. Sides then I would have to transfer some of my units where I got a dang C in Chemistry (5 units worth because I missed the final) and that would like throw my GPA down to 3.7 something gasp and well my turkey ego is – well it is what it is – LOL

See how wacky my thinking is? I never apply for the degrees earned and then I don’t transfer units – the end result is lots of units and no degrees LOL LOL well I do have certificates of completion from here and there . …

Well maybe I will sign up for the short bus PE class?
