Red Rocks in Black and White

5DM37769bw (web)I couldn’t resist turning a few of my Sedona photos into black and white. I haven’t accomplished a whole hell of a lot since we came to Phoenix nearly three weeks ago now. What’s worse, I have totally blown off my training. My shoulder was acting up when we left Minnesota and I’ve used that as an excuse to do nothing. We walked for 90 minutes yesterday and today and my body’s acting like I ran a marathon.

I really have to get off my butt and clean the house this week. We are heading back to Minnesota a week from Tuesday and won’t be back until just before Christmas. It would be nice to have a clean house for the holiday. I need visitors to get motivated for serious cleaning. Unfortunately, we’ve only been averaging one visit per year since we bought this house.

Yes, we have a dedicated guest room that has been used exactly five times in five years, twice by my mom. It makes me want to get rid of the bed and put a treadmill in there. At least that would get used. Right now we have three friends considering a visit, two in January and one in March. But I’m not holding my breath. Meanwhile, the dust is thickening.
