I am so introverted.
This is when you say: "How introverted are you?"
I am so introverted, that when my daughter poked her head in my bedroom this morning and said her husband's family was coming over for a visit soon, I jumped up, pulled on my sweats, a t-shirt and my running shoes and breezily ran out the door saying, "I'm off to the gym! See you later!"
OY! Will I ever grow out of my shyness?
But today was a good thing! I actually walked the trail to SE 122nd and SE Harold, which is 1.33 miles. There, I caught the bus to the gym. I haven't worked out with weights in several weeks. And I really need it! Today was great. My adrenaline was racing a bit from my social anxiety. So I worked back and biceps. In a circuit. Then I did about 12 minutes on the treadmill and some crunches and stretches.
I feel good!
I was tempted to go out to eat. I mean I almost did. I used to eat at Happy Garden on SE 122nd near Division years ago. They had the most amazing egg flower soup. And they have brown rice if you ask. But I walked up there and they were out of business.
I was tempted to go somewhere else, but then I spied my bus. So I jogged to the bus, hopped on and went down to Safeway and picked up ingredients for a root vegetable soup for dinner. I was going to put chicken in it, but we eat so much chicken! I opted for a ham hock. For flavor. Once it has cooked enough, I will chopped up the meat from the bone.
So I cooked the ingredients first on the stove and now everything is sitting in the crockpot on low. Should be ready in time for my dinner at 6:00 p.m. The whole house smells divine!!
I tasted the broth. It is heavenly. I used garlic, onions, a bit of beef broth, ham hocks, rutabaga, sweet potato, carrots and celery. I seasoned it with parsley, lemon pepper, salt and a little bit of turmeric. Wow, the flavor! I cannot wait until dinner!
For lunch, I had left over majadarrah and coleslaw. With a gluten free pumpkin cookie for dessert.
I am so happy I worked out today. I would like to try and get a good work out for the next few days, because next week fall term begins with a vengence.
Today, I am thankful for my introverted nature!
