swampy Congrats to the Dawgs. I know the Seminole 1st string QB was injured and the 2nd string opted out. I also know a RB and 2 WRs opted out (one of whom, Keon Coleman, was a Spartan for the past 2 years and he was very good). But still what a hurting the Dawgs put on the Seminoles. And now we won’t have to hear them saying they are National Champions.
Yesterday was quite a good day. Alarm went off at 5:45am, stayed in bed with the mini Ipad for about an hour then showered, ate breakfast, made breakfast for Hubs, moved a lot of furniture out of the way in the living room, curled hair then was off at 8:50 with Hubs to the hospital for him to get an infusion of a medication that is supposed to be like a firewall against the infection that he had so he doesn’t get a recurrence. But had to hightail it home because of a delivery that was supposed to come between noon and 5pm.
I have wanted to get a NuStep for at least 2-3 years. It’s the piece of equipment I use every time I go to the Fitness Center. But it’s pretty expensive and being the child of people who went through the Depression, I never bought one. Well, with the after requirements of Hubs transplant procedure (no driving for 100 days after he is released from the hospital or going to public crowded places like the mall, restaurants, fitness center and the instruction to exercise every day), I decided to pull the trigger and buy a NuStep. I checked their website in early November and what a shock on the pricing. I waited until Cyber Monday and the discount was appreciated so I purchased it. Although the sales rep was quite unpleasant; she kept trying and trying to get me to buy a more expensive model than the one I wanted and she used an angry tone of voice; she must work on commission. She told me it would take 5 weeks for delivery. I actually had a call on the Thursday before Christmas asking if they could deliver it the next day. But that day was the 8th anniversary of Mom’s passing and I had requested a memorial mass at her church which I wanted to attend and Hubs was still in the hospital with the infection but the Dr. had indicated that he might be released so I asked if it could be put off until after Christmas. So, the freight company called on Wednesday and asked if they could deliver it on Friday (yesterday). I had the choice of 7am-noon or noon-5pm time frame. I chose the afternoon. Then on Thursday the hospital called to schedule the infusion. They asked if 9:30am Friday would be ok. I figured that it wouldn’t take that long and that we would likely be home by 11am. I was wrong. We didn’t get in the car to leave the hospital parking garage until 11:37. That was the fastest I ever drove home from the hospital and I’ve done so about 20+ times between Dad, Mom and Hubs. Got home at 11:58, normally it’s more like 1/2 hr up to 45 minutes, depending on traffic. So, then I started vacuuming, washing baseboards like crazy in 2 potential places that I wanted it located. About 2-1/2 minutes after I finished, the truck pulled up. Timing couldn’t have worked out better. The delivery personnel, Cory & Carl, were very professional and friendly. They put it right where I wanted which is a good place to watch TV. I offered them choice of pop and they went with coke. Then I told Hubs it was his birthday present, his birthday is next week. So, we both took a turn working out and it was great! I’m so happy with it. Later went to Kroger then Sahara Restaurant for a carryout of Mjadara and a Shish Kafta sandwich. The owner gave me extra garlic spread. 
Today was sloth, doping (both mmp and research for dead pooling), then Spartan games. The men beat Indiana State and the women beat Penn State! Yay! shoe If you enthusiastically tell the Spartan garbed customers “Go Green”, they should reply “Go White” and it may enhance your tip.
