Year Two, Day 111: Plan C



I am feeling rather annoyed and slightly irritable today.

Not about anything that happened.

Rather, about something that has not happened...yet!

I have been so proud of myself for waking up earlier without hitting the snooze button (well at least for not hitting it for an hour!).  Most of the time, I am just popping up, stretching, making coffee and starting my day.  I am clearer headed and can definitely use the time that I used to blatantly waste with extra sleep!

This morning I got up extra early. The plan was to run up to the gym for an early morning workout before church.

I have a student piano recital this evening, so I wanted to make sure I got in a workout.

I find that I get increasingly grumpy and on edge, the longer it is between workouts.

This is a breakthrough!

But, sadly, the bus schedules were off this morning.  I did not make it to the gym before church.

So I made a breakfast burrito instead.  Had a leisurely breakfast, cleaned the kitchen, spent some time with God.

But I still had time to kill.  So I made a big bowl of potato salad!  :)

Potato salad always cheers me up. But alas, we were out of olives. So I added that to my list of things I needed to do on the way home.

After church, I got my olives and headed home to feed the dog and have lunch. My plan B was to stop at home and then head to the gym.

But alas... sigh. My son also came home from lunch. And I have missed my son! I have not seen much of him lately. So I made him a cheeseburger quesadilla and we visited.

And I ran out of time to get to the gym.

So, here I am. Blogging. 


Plan C is go to the recital from home. It is going to be a nice, small, casual affair.  My numbers are way down in the summer. I think maybe 12 students will be playing.

I think I will perform too.

And THEN!!!!

After the recital...


AT LAST!!!

THE GYM!!!!!!


I have to go. I must!

Tomorrow is weight and measurement day.

And I am determined to conquer this battle!


And I am exceedingly grumpy!

Happy Sunday!

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,  ...

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...
