That is the website I joined to see how long it takes me to make it to the international space station with Bob Thirsk. I started July 11 and I am now over 1/2 way there. It is a neat concept. You exercise, input your data and it converts it to space km. Hopefully I will finish the journey before the space housing market takes a fall, and I no longer will have any place to stay!!!!!! I only made it to 7000 steps today, but considering I didn't really move around that much, thats a lot of steps.

MIND: My mind was working hard today, much harder than my body. I spent the day with my mother and father - in - law. I felt helpless and not very useful. I was there, but really, I couldn't do anything for either. Mom was is sporadic pain. I did try some tapping on her. Although the comfort of my being there seemed to help, I only managed to make her throw up. (I tend to have that affect on a lot of people) My heart was filled with love every time she held my hand, and I felt forgiven for not being able to make her better. By the end of the day, she was feeling somewhat better and I took comfort in knowing that I helped her get through the day. But for Dad, I felt invisible. It must be horrific for him to be so close and yet not have the power to make things better himself. Although Dad has always seemed like an inviting and warm person, to watch him with Mom makes you understand what true marriage is about. ...In sickness and in health..... he's the backbone of this family right now and we could all watch and learn how to be the perfect mate!!! I am so proud to be part of this family - and my blessings tonight will be plenty!
Past midnight so I really need to get some beauty sleep (no really!!!!)
Good night
