A day well done

Went to the YMCA today. See, I don't want to stop exercising. The last time I did my blood pressure shot up more than I care to admit. So I had to buy a month's membership at the YMCA since they won't sell me two weeks. Anyhow, they have these great elliptical machines that you can  plug your iPod into (I have a video iPod) and you can watch the TV show or movie that you have on your iPod on the machine's TV.

Been watching season 1 of the new Doctor Who. Already seen it on the tube mind you (BBC America and the SciFi channel) But it is such a brilliant series I love to watch the episodes over and over. (Or like Rose would say "ova' and ova' " - character from the series).

Came back, and then went away again to buy am outdoor solar light for mom and dad. They need it. Oh, they do have a porch light, but this would be for the driveway, so pilot mom can tell co-pilot dad where to go when he is driving them home, even thought he is not supposed to be driving around in the dark.

Went well. I also found a repair kit for their leaky water hose. Then I bought something to help them water the plants. No gun looking thing since their arthritis flares up if they hold something for a while.

Water hose fixed, solar light still not up (it is 110 here! For any European readers: 43 C). And I tried to see how to water the plants. SUCKS. That thing is great for smaller spaces, not for a yard. So I tried to talk with dad about it.

He loves to just place the hose out there, let it puddle, and then move it somewhere else. He does not like the sprinklers. Won't really explain why. My guess? Too complicated of a thing.

Gotta love them.
