Day 118: Z Poof!


Z Poof!

My head has not been on straight all day.  Filled with worries.  Luckily I had a bible study with my friends. This helped my attitude. Still a little cranky.

You know those kind of days when nothing quite works right. I need to record 8 minutes of piano lullaby music for a client for their baby lullaby youtube channel. Which is all well and good, but my recorder needs new batteries. I should really find a charger for it. But I don't think I have the patience.

I've been messing around with my hair. Great way to spend a day right? Wrong! I have so much more to do. But I kind of like how it turned out. A bit of a poof on top! So perhaps it was time well spent.

Last night I organized my closet and went through some music. This I need to do.  I have this fear that I won't be prepared once I get really busy.

But I had a new family of students yesterday.  I always get nervous with new students. Remember the introvert thing? But once I sit down and starting talking to them, asking them about themselves, teaching, I get into my teacher zone. I had a moment yesterday, where I was like outside myself observing. And I thought, "This is why I teach. I like this.  This student is learning, and happy.  I am interested and focused.  I am a good teacher!"  Yup. I thought all of those things!


So I floated home yesterday. Had a good eating day.

Today, I ate leftover garbanzo bean curry and hominy grits for breakfast. And tea. I walked with my cup of tea a few blocks to my bible study friends.

But what I really need is a good workout. I feel most irritable!

So, I will end with that.  I am going now straight to the gym. I have a student this evening. I plan on purchasing some fine batteries for my recorder and taking myself out for a nice healthy dinner.  I need to pamper myself, because I am feeling unloved.  Arrggg...when I will get over this need for so much attention, even it is only from myself?

I will post an update when I get back. Hopefully more cheerful!

Year Three, Day 58: Marilyn Monroe's Measurements

Day 24 of daily hooping. I am determined to shrink these abs, if it is the last thing I do! Perhaps I should have that written on my tombstone: "Here lies Zita". Flat abs at last!! Well I certainly hope to attain my flat abs goal BEFORE I am dead and gone! Today's video was another rush job. But I downloaded some fun tunes to my Kindle last night.  I enjoyed my hoop session more listening to the Punjabi music. It reminded me of the "Maritime Bhangra Dancers".  If you haven't heard of them, you should look them up. They never fail to put a smile on my face! I am not smiling so much looking at this video. My hooping skills have improved a bit, but that menopot has got to go! After my hoop session, I walked 3/4 mile to the bus stop. I was planning on attending the 10:00 a.m. Mass at the Grotto, but it was cutting it close. Plus, I was feeling the need for a Starbucks iced tea.  Today was Iced Passionfruit/Black Tea, no sugar whatsoever.   The ic...

Year Two, Day 274: I Like Me. RIP Packy!

Today's fruit of the spirit that I am focusing on is patience.  This I need more of. And coincidentally (or not), I read in my book Challenge: A Daily Meditation Program Based on the Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius by Mark Link, S.J. the following: "I asked God to give me happiness, and God said, 'No.' He said that patience is a by-product of tribulation. It isn't granted, it is earned." Well, not to sound smug, but I am certainly earning my patience award!  :) I am having a good day, however I am a bit over caffeinated. I earned (patiently lol) a free latte today at Starbucks.  On a side note, I love being a regular customer. I walked into my regular Starbucks today, and one of the barista's yelled, "Zita!" from across the room. I felt like I was in an episode of "Cheers"! I love being recognized in a friendly manner. I had a venti "Smoked Butterscotch Latte with soy".   I have found the per...

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!
