New Digs Coming Up

Posted in Every Day Life on 01/26/2012 07:04 am by Renee

I love moving into new places, it’s always such a thrill to me for some reason but the actual MOVING part sucks.

Third floor y’all.

Ah well. It’s going to be a change. Back to just me, in a one bedroom apartment. WITH a washer and dryer hookup. I’m getting a bit excited/nervous about it.

It’s still within walking distance of the gym, which is sort of a big requirement for me. My lease on current apartment runs out on the 31rst of March and I have officially sent in my letter of intent to vacate. Been approved for the other apartment already, just waiting to find out how much deposits will be. it’s a bit cheaper than what I currently pay so, that’ll be nice.

RIP Diablo/Kilo/Kitty Boy/Fat Boy

Posted in Kids & Pets on 01/20/2012 11:50 am by Renee

Today I had to take my fat boy in to be put to sleep. Renal failure. He was approximately 15 years old and I’ve had him for 12 years now.

My world is so sad today.

1. He was BREATHING and alive then with a stroke of a pen, I signed the papers to have him killed. Nothing really makes that okay. No, it doesn’t. Yes, he had a great life with me and we had a lot of years together but now, he’s gone.

2. I will get past this but today I take the option to just be sad. I have cried and cried and cried. And somehow I still have fucking tears left. That sucks.

3. Chris couldn’t even console me and tell me that I was doing the right thing. Fuck him. He was too busy being selfish.

4. The lady at the vets asked me if I had any more pets in this hopeful voice and then that’s sort of when I started crying again. No, actually, no I don’t. I have no more pets.

My boy

Christmas Day 2011

Posted in Restaurants, Special Events on 12/27/2011 10:03 am by Renee

Christmas day was pretty decent. I slept until NOON. Hah! Nice. Chris woke me up because his Mom was there and they were doing their get together before his daughter left to visit other family.

His Mom got me a few things, random crazy stuff, which is totally not necessary and reminds me of my Gram in certain ways. A green chair, a green little rug, a yellow soft fuzzy blanket with my name embroidered in green on it, a pair of NC State flip flops (mens? size 7.8? huge), two little Christmas towels for kitchen/bathroom, and a laundry sack.

Caitlyn gave me a Starbucks Hot Chocolate gift set from store.

After that was done, they left and it was just me and Chris. He knows that I want to spend a part of the day outside when I’m not working. So we chose to do part of the Reedy Creek Trail (Capital Greenway) and walked over the pedestrian bridge over 440. Very cool.

on Meredith College property. Looks like an abandoned nursery but it's still in use. They just abandoned all the plants that they didn't use I guess over various projects.

 

I love the colors of this photo. Not the best camera on my phone but still pretty.

 

 

A piece of art out at the NC Museum of Art on Blue Ridge Road.

 

a beautiful end of the Christmas Day 2011. The sky was beautiful, it was cold enough that it felt like winter, and it was so quiet and peaceful. The perfect end to Christmas Day.

 

We drove around all through Raleigh afterwards. Through Downtown, just looking at the lights and the shops, and enjoying the very little traffic. All the way up Glenwood to Brier Creek area, then over 540 back to Falls of Neuse. We spotted an open restaurant and went in to try it out.

Asian Grill sounded sort of generic so was not expecting food of the nature and caliber that we received. Fan TAS Tic! Seriously. Won Ton Soup, Egg Drop Soup, General Tso’s chicken, and a steamed shrimp and veggies: $37.

Excellent food. The won tons in the soup were the best I’ve had. Very fresh and obviously made there in the restaurant.

Very small place, probably 6 booths, 2 large tables that can accommodate 8 people, and a few smaller tables.

Cafe Tiramisu, Armadillo Grill, Kanki at mall

Posted in Restaurants on 12/19/2011 10:39 am by Renee

So this weekend was a lot of eating out. My most favorite thing to do. It was Chris’s 39th birthday yesterday and I took him to lunch at Kanki.

We both had the Business Lunch which included the awesome soup, the salad with the ginger dressing, and the hibachi cooking. Shrimp, chicken, and steak. YUM.

Unfortunately, our dinner companions at the table were a bunch of douche-bags. Sorry, not a nice word but just ridiculous. And NO FUN.

Whatever .The food was delicious and we ate way too much. Or at least, *I* did. Then, I had to go teach class about an hour after lunch. ERGH.

After class and after church, Chris mentioned he was hungry. I wasn’t really but wanted something sweet. So we ended up trying out Cafe Tiramisu in the shopping center.

Let’s just say: la di dah. Make sure you dress up and get reservations. We ended up sitting at the bar as it wasn’t a big deal and the food? In a class of it’s own.

We ended up getting a few appetizers, (coffee for me!), and dessert.

I had the Caprese salad and Chris ordered the Stuffed Clams. They were stuffed with pancetta, clam meat, spinach, and parmesean cheese. Something spicy too but it was super good.

For dessert: you will not find a better homemade Tiramisu. My God. So light, so perfect. And large portion. Definitely enough to share. Chris got the Peanut Butter Pie though and that too was phenomenal.

Don’t plan on dropping under $50 for a dinner for two though. It’s priced mid-range I’d say. Our bill was $35 not including the tip.

The setting very intimate. Probably no more than 10 tables plus the bar. So definitely get your reservations. Well worth it though if you’re looking for something romantic and fresh Italian. Good stuff.

Then, on the other side of the coin: Armadillo Grill.

Located on Glenwood in downtown Raleigh, I’ve driven by this place so many times. Chris talked me into going in and checking it out on Saturday evening.

Really casual setting but comfortable and affordable! We got so much food for $23 and no wait staff means no tip. Huge, huge, selection of Tequila and you place the order at the bar after filling in a piece of paper and choosing what you want. They do charge for every little thing, so if you get tomatos on a taco, you’ll pay for them.

Decent though and LOTS OF NEON. Plus a little crowd of (what looked like) newly minted Marines came in just before we left. So short! And young! My God. I felt pretty old. Hah!

http://fondaybirrieriajalisco.com/ though still has best authentic, affordable Mexican and it’s in the most hideous place: a random strip mall near the big Wal-Mart off of Wake Forest Road. Their menus are extensive: http://fondaybirrieriajalisco.com/menupages

So, if you’re downtown Raleigh, and craving some cheap, decent Mexican, hit Armadillo Cafe. They are open until 3AM too!

They call themselves Tex-Mex but in my definition, not so much. http://www.armadillogrill.com/

Easy and casual though and very inexpensive for the downtown area!

Pressure!

Posted in Medical on 12/13/2011 10:18 am by Renee

So my blood pressure has been getting dangerously high.

I’m a little irritated….nope, change that to a LOT irritated about the whole thing. It’s not in my family history, I work out every day, cardio and weights, eat a pretty decent diet, and my blood pressure STILL sucks.

Not thrilled with my body at this point. It’s failing me! Whatever.

I see a chiropractor within the gym on a semi-regular basis but it’s been steadily creeping up over the past few years. I used to have readings of 120/72.

A week or so ago? A normal evening reading would be 196/98.

Oh, well hello imminent stroke!

After getting that kind of read out and the chiro telling me that I needed to do something, I sort of torqued off a bit. I was so upset that I just locked myself in the bathroom and cried for about 10 minutes. I left, trying not to run into anyone, and was going to just walk back to the apartment. It’s only 20 minutes and I enjoy it if the weather is nice.

Went over to Tribeca Tavern, thinking maybe eating out would cheer me up.

No, not really. I sat in a tiny booth in the bar and kept my eyes up to the tv monitor watching the music videos play through and trying not to sit there and cry. Poor waitress. Offered to get me a shot or something to make me feel better.

Ate, left, walked home. Sat in dark and cried off and on for about an hour and half.

Stupid emotional outbursts.

Refused to speak to the people who shared my apartment for several days. Just so irritated at Chris and irritated at having to deal with the tension between him and his daughter. Whatever. It’s not my problem and yet I’m having to feel the emotional stress. I hate that.

Finally, made an appointment with the doctor that can give me drugs.

She started me out on a baby dose of whatever it is, 5 mg and it seems to be working.

12/5/11 at 5:20 PM it was 156/92 with a pulse of 65

12/6/11 at 5:15 PM it was 163/88 with pulse of 64

12/8/11 around 5:20 PM it was 131/75 with pulse of 62

12/12 around 5:20 PM it was 144/87 with a pulse of ???

I can feel the pressure in my head is getting better. My forehead doesn’t feel like it’s going to separate from my head and skull as badly. It still gets higher in the evening after I go home from the gym but getting better.

Gear and Sad Kid

Posted in Walk Across America on 12/08/2011 12:23 pm by Renee

My daughter is not happy with me wanting to do this walking thing. I don’t know many almost 19 years old kids that burst into tears thinking about their Mom NOT being around.

Sheesh. I thought it would go over a bit easier than it did. Poor baby. Alix is a Mama’s Girl all the way. I asked her why she didn’t miss me the whole time she was living in Montana. She told me she just didn’t know better.

I have no answer or response to that.

I need to get two of these. Redundancy is super important and water is going to be one of the TOP most priorities. I may also have some backup water purifying tablets but I don’t trust them as I haven’t had to rely on them. I have used this before and it’s awesome.

http://cascadedesigns.com/msr/water-treatment-and-hydration/expedition-water-treatment-and-hydration/miniworks-ex-microfilter/product

I did request REI gift cards for Christmas but Alix said No. I am not funding anything for this trip. Heh.

I’m also debating on the cooking thing. I don’t want to have to deal with gasoline in canisters which means that I can’t use the MSR Whisperlite which I am familiar with.

http://cascadedesigns.com/msr/stoves/simple-cooking/whisperlite/product

So I will probably go with the jetboil or something of that nature since the gas is in a container that is easier to transport. Not less bulky and have heard that it’s not always easy to use in higher altitudes but I’m not going that high for it to become an issue. And that’s just random hearsay. It’s most likely just fine.

http://shop.jetboil.com/index.php/sol-cooking-ti.html

I don’t know that I would plan on every dinner being cooked but it would be nice to have that option and it’s going to need to be easy to deal with.

Walking poles. After two times out on the AT, if I backpack it and not go with that stroller option, then these will be an absolute necessity. If not backpacking, not needed.

Tent. Need something easy to assemble, rugged, but light. EASY To assemble is biggie. Will need to go to REI to check this out. Never really paid attention to tents as on the AT there are prebuilt shelters to stay in at regular intervals and tents aren’t allowed in the Smokies.

Strange Brew (in my head)

Posted in asides on 12/07/2011 11:50 am by Renee

My nightmares for the past couple of months have been sort of stressful. I’m not sleeping well and that sort of sucks because it messes up everything.

My social circle from knowing people at the gym is crazy awesome, we seriously have the best members ANYwhere. It’s obviously very community oriented and they draw new people in without any hesitations. Which makes the new members feel good and also feel welcomed. That’s so important for people to be a success and to keep coming back in.

Lots of new members lately too, I try to remember all the names and I mostly do and people are like, HOW DO YOU DO THAT!!!??? And that makes me happy. One of my members told me that I should have been a politician. Funny! Not with all these skeletons dancing in my closet. :)

Envision It: Do It

Posted in Walk Across America on 12/07/2011 10:13 am by Renee

People say, not sure who they are but, to be successful you need to picture yourself DOING whatever it is that you want to accomplish.

So I’ve been doing just that. Trying to imagine how the loneliness would feel, day after day after day, wondering how I would be able to re aclimate to society once I completed the journey.

I worry about that part a lot.

But I have dreamed a long time about traveling across the US. But it always was by vehicle.

I like walking better than I like riding. And it’s not the beginning or the ending, it’s the points in between that I long for the most.

Walking in blinding rain would be not fun. Walking in a dust storm would be not fun.

But you can always stop. You can. Just sit. Or hunker down, cover your head with your arms.

Why now though? obviously: i do not like where my life is at right now. It is not serving a greater purpose. And I’m getting older. Maybe it’s my mid-life crisis. I will be 40 next summer.

I think that’s a great reason though.

Crazy Enough To Do It

Posted in Walk Across America on 12/07/2011 08:33 am by Renee

I am planning.

Beginning in Raleigh, NC, or maybe flying out to California and walking back to the east coast.

Why not?

I have a crappy little sales job that I can replace any time I need to and well, group fitness is going to be there to int he future.

So, I would need to figure out my meds for the things that are non-negotiable like my thyroid stuff.

Then, I need to start packing away the things that I definitely don’t want to part with and giving the stuff to my kids that I always planned on doing.

Food and gear.

Places to stay.

A definite time line.

A mostly definite route.

What I have is my backpack, what I’m thinking is the way the justwalkin.com guy did with a push cart.

 

clothing from one guy:

http://www.walkingman.org/equipment/clothing

Clothing List: Gore-tex jacket, lightweight wool dress pants, wool sweater, cotton dress shirt, two pairs black bicycle shorts, one bicycle shirt, two pairs polypropalene liner socks, two pairs hiking socks, one pair thick wool socks, wool hat, wool gloves, Tyvek coveralls, wide brim hat, bedsheet toga. All these clothes were either found, given to me or purchased at a thrift store for about twenty dollars. Salvation Army and Goodwill are my favorite thrifts stores. Sometimes small towns will have church run stores in the basement, just ask around, and keep you eyes open, if you need something bad enough you will find it eventually.

Arriving at Ocean Ave
Total: 2,932 mi – about 39 days 23 hours
So everything I learned from the AT is starting to go back on a loop through my brain.
I don’t plan on walking that route in 39 days. That’s way too fast. I don’t want this to last forever but I do want to have a general idea. I figure that I can give myself up to 9 months from start to finish. I mean, come on, gestating a human being takes at least that long.
I want to go fast enough to cover the miles but not too fast so I end up hurting my knees or something else equally as crappy as that. So on the AT, 12 miles a day was do-able but I went to fast and my knee ended the trip for me. two days early.
So, I am debating on the backpacking vs. the nothing vs. the push stroller. There are pros and cons to all options.
I also have decided that the first couple days to 2 weeks will be mild to moderate miles to become conditioned to the walking. Then. After about 2-3 weeks, we’ll start pushing a bit for more distance.

Seoul Garden

Posted in Restaurants on 11/21/2011 10:03 am by Renee

Chris and I went out to eat on Friday night and we ventured into a restaurant that neither of us have tried before and it was a completely new food experience.

Seoul Garden on Millbrook Road, right down the road from the apartment.

I was a little hesitant to try it but wow, so so happy we did!

I’ve never eaten Korean before and while the menu had English writing, it was still a bit strange. The majority of the diners were Korean.

They started out by bring out a bunch of little white bowls with all sorts of stuff in them. This, as I later found out, is the banchan. The fancier the meal, the more banchan you have to share with your fellow diners. I took a photo of them but I looked them up and found that we had the following:

Miso soup

Kkakdugi (Korean Radish Kimchi)

Yongeun Jorim (Seasoned Lotus Root)

Sigumchi Namul (Seasoned Spinach)

Kongnamul Muchim (Seasoned Bean Sprouts)

We had 3 or 4 more other side dishes that I haven’t been able to track down yet. But SO YUMMY!!!!

I also ordered the Steamed Dumplings (beef) and they were the best dumplings I’ve ever had in a restaurant.

Chris had the Dduk Bok-ki which was very spicy and you could tell just by looking at it that it had a lot of red pepper in it. The color and the shape of the “rice cakes” can be seen here: http://koreanupdates.com/2010/04/08/random-thursday-food-of-the-week-dduk-bok-gi-spicy-korean-rice-cake/

The rice cakes are actually made of rice flour and have the texture of a large beefaroni or pasta like gnocchi.

I went a “safer” route and tried the beef Dolsot bibimbap :

“Dolsot bibimbap is another variation of the traditional dish. It is served in a hot stone bowl in which the rice is cooked, topped with vegetables, seasoned beef soboro, raw egg and mixed with hot red pepper paste. It is also fun, and rather tasty, to scrape off the lightly scorched rice stuck to the bottom of the bowl. “(description from here: http://saykimchirecruiting.com/newsletter/?p=470 )

It was absolutely amazingly good. I was very pleased with the food and the prices were ridiculously good as well.

If you’ve never eaten in a Korean restaurant, check one out. The banchan come with the meal and are not charged extra. I think the total was around $45 with the tip. $6 for the dumplings, the Dduk bok gi was $10, mine was $13.
