Day 86: The Godfather - At Last!!

I managed to hop out of bed at 7:30 a.m. One and a half hours later than I had planned.  Oy.  I was disappointed that I must have slept through my alarm. I think a more annoying alarm clock might be in order!

Well, and really I need to go to sleep earlier. I lay down at 11:00 p.m., but wasn't tired, so I watched about an hour of the Godfather. Cannot believe I never saw this movie. Al Pacino was so cute when he was younger - almost as cute as he is now!  I think I have avoided it when I was younger, because I was worried about the violence, but years later I realize I have seen much more violence and disturbing content.  I am looking forward to Part II and Part III when I finish this DVD.

But today shows progress. So I adjusted my day. I am pleased to say I started with prayer, and bible reading. I did 2 miles on the trail.  Fast walking.  I'm still having trouble with aching and soreness and don't want to stress my joints with running until I am feeling better.

I made it to the grocery store and bought the ingredients for gyros! :) I am baking them as I speak. The whole house smells divine!

I did a bit of yoga. Could use more, but am running a bit late.

I had my 1/2 grapefruit, water with spirulina powder and a small bowl of high fiber cereal with coconut milk so far today. I am brewing some Japanese barley tea.  Which I love! One of my students brought me some back from Japan a few weeks ago.

I am going to cut the meat in thin strips when it is done and has cooled.  I made a yogurt/garlic/mint/lemon/serrano pepper sauce to drizzle on the meat after I stuff it in a pita.

I have cut up some radish - my new snack (love that crunch!) and I will pack an orange.

I hope to make it through the day on this.

Wish me luck.

I am off to practice the organ a the church.

Happy Wednesday! :)

Year Three, Day 110: I Like Change, But How Do I Help the Suffering?

I woke up in a bit of a panic this morning. I had planned on getting to the track by 6:30 a.m., because I thought today was the first day of school. You see, the public is not allowed to use the track when school is in session. Understandably so. But alas, I overslept! I still headed out with my hoop, hoping it was before school hours at 7:30 a.m. And I breathed a sigh of relief. The school looked vacant. And only one solitary jogger with her solitary dog was present. I got busy in case the kids were due to arrive. Got a nice hoop workout in. No sign of children as I walked back to the house. So I did what I should have done in advance. I consulted Google. And most happy am I - North Clackamas School District does not start back to school until September 6th! Portland Public Schools start today. But the elementary school next door to the track lists "student hours" as 7:45 - 2:00 p.m. So I really am going to have to get an earlier start next week. I am aiming...

Year Two, Day 201: "I"

Before my first meeting with "I" I had a wonderful first date last night! We had a lot on common. The conversation flowed easily. We laughed. It was so lovely, that I think I shall not blog about him. Not yet anyway. I am just going to call him "I". I like I. 😉 Today was a long, wonderful family day. Went to church with my daughter and son-in-law. Very powerful, uplifting service. After that we went to the horse races. Had a blast. Broke even. Essentially had a free lunch and four hours of entertainment. After the horses, we had yet another Thanksgiving dinner at my niece's place. It was her first turkey. It was amazing! But thank God I had enough willpower to resist the pie! Tomorrow I go for my first physical therapy appointment. Tuesday it is back to the gym!! Happy Sunday!

Day 338: Unicorns in the Bible!

I am still working out the kinks in my daily routine. I am going to try practicing piano first today. I find I get so sidetracked that I don't get enough time in, and then I feel stress. I have quite a few performances coming up. Do not need stress!  So, my new daily plan will look something like this:  Wake up Pray Drink water and smoothie Piano practice Exercise Lunch Teach Read Bible and blog in between students Dinner Stretch Pray Bed My daughter and I food prepped last night. We made enough crockpot meals for our family of four for the next 2 to 3 weeks.  We put them in bags and tossed them in the freezer. We have turkey, veggie chili going on right now. Man, does the house smell good! My psalm of the day made me chuckle today. And got me curious about translations.  I read Psalm 29 in my King James Bible. Notice the appearance of the mythical unicorn in verse 6!   Psalm 29 1   Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty,  ...
