I went and got my haircut today. I’ve been going to this new salon for about 3 months now and like it. I’ve decided to stick with it. Plus, the guy who cuts my hair is cute.
I walked a total of 3.40 miles today.

Very Busy Day!
I’ve had a very busy day today. I started out early this morning by taking my friend Michael to get his colonoscopy. He was about 4 years late but he got it done and everything was fine.
Then I went to the NRA headquarters and joined the protest group to protest agains their gun policies. I’ve done this a few times now and feel like it helps. It makes me feel good that I’m actually doing something and protesting against something I detest. Jennifer Wexton, who won the primary to run against Barbara Comstock was at the protest and spoke.
This evening we went to Wolf Trap to see Harry Connick Jr. It was a good show but I was tired by the end of the evening.
I did walk 2.78 miles throughout the day.
Date Night Dinner
I got home from Charlottesville this afternoon. I have no plans to return unless my sister needs me to take him to any of his appointments.
We decided to have out date night dinner tonight. We went to The Grilled Oyster Company. My husband really likes that place because of the seafood. I just usually get a burger. It was good though.
Once I got home I did a lot of running around so I walked a total of 4.08 miles.
Second Day
My second day with my dad was spent at Goodwill. It pretty much took us most of the day to get him in the car, drive to the store, get around the store, get him back in the car and go back to the center. He bought some DVDs. When we got home he was very tired and fell asleep in his chair again. I cleaned up a bit and put things away. I’m not sure I’ll be back to visit. I shouldn’t be babysitting him. I hope my sister comes around soon and realize he needs to be moved to get more services.
With all the walking around today I did get a total of 2.25 miles.
Visiting Dad
Today I drove down to Charlottesville to visit my dad for a few days. I was disappointed to find that he’s not doing anything to help himself. He doesn’t take care of himself or do anything other than sit in a chair. He wears the same clothes for weeks and won’t take a shower or brush his teeth. I think he needs to be moved back to Assisted Living where people will come in and take care of the things he won’t do. My sister feels differently so we’ll see how it goes in the long run. I did take him to McDonalds for lunch. He seemed to enjoy that.
I only walked .80 miles today.
