NRVIA training

We had an opportunity to sleep in this morning which helped considerably when we went to the training this afternoon.  The training ran from 1:00 to about 5:45 and it mostly covered stuff we had already learned about how to do an inspection report.  There have been some improvements made to the template even since we did our mock inspections this summer, so it was good to see those.  They also acknowledged some of the glitches I had been having trouble with when I did the reports from our mock inspections but didn’t seem to have fixes for those yet.   Continue reading

Kimba’s vet visit

I am beginning to see a trend in the Door County medical field.  Saturday morning I tried to go to the Aurora Nor-Door Clinic that was supposed to be open from 9:00-noon on Saturdays, but they were closed.  Today we needed a vet for Kimba and I called one whose advertising said he’d make house calls — in fact the name of his clinic is Pets-At-Home — but he asked us to come to his home.  Ah well, you do what you have to do!

New bike!

Just a quickie to brag on what my husband did tonight:  He bought me a new bicycle because I’ve been trying to get more active and get in shape again.  I’ve been doing a fair amount of walking since I’ve gotten my SparkPeople Activity Tracker, but it will track bicycling too.  Plus, Mark got me an odometer that tracks calories burned and distance and stuff like that.  He is so supportive of my desire to become fit again!
