It has been a relatively quiet and uneventful week. My Workout last weekend consisted of painting my back door and side lights inside and out. It was way overdue. It did take several hours on both Saturday and Sunday. I am so glad to have that done. I still have some interior trim that needs painting and hopefully once I've completed that I can put the paintbrushes away for a few years. I did get on the stair-stepper on Sunday and completed 1000 steps. I repeated it again yesterday morning. I was off work for an eye exam in the morning and a dentist appointment in the afternoon. Both went well with no major issues. I did need an updated eyeglass prescription, I knew to expect that as I do not see clearly out of my current ones.
My new ones I ordered with the knowledge that they are the ones I will be wearing to Nepal. I had already decided that I would get RayBans as I have had the best luck with their frames being durable, comfortable and suit my nerdy nature. My vision is crap both near and far, so progressive lenses are a must, I also went with transition lenses so I don't have to worry about carrying a pair of prescription sunglasses. I also need to UV protection that they provide when hiking at higher altitudes. Anti-glare and anti-scratch coatings completed the package. I hopefully will have them by the end of next week. It was a bit exciting knowing that I was getting these with the trip to Nepal in mind. They will also be great for my upcoming hiking trips too.
We finally have rain and cooler temperatures on the forecast. It will most likely be too wet to go hiking so I think it will be time to renew my gym membership. I am going to do it for a full year this time. I can't get lazy anymore. Big Bend, Rocky Mountain National Park, Inca trail in Peru and then Nepal and EBC. I've some big challenges ahead. I do get nervous about it at times, but I know the sense of accomplishment will be the most amazing reward. I think the biggest reward though will just come from the eight weeks I will spend teaching in Salleri. Oh the anticipation.
