Year Two, Day 128: "LOVEYOUBYE!"

I had a incredible workout with my friend of the male persuasion today. Two days in a row!

I guess I will just call said male "R" from now on.

R led me through an intense workout. He really knows his stuff. I think I will be in a world of hurt tomorrow. But it will be a happy world!

He had me do some serious weight lifting. With free weights. He said he was quite impressed with my strength. So was I, for that matter! Maybe I was just showing off, but I did 120 lb. toe raises, dude!

Afterwards we had lunch. He had packed really yummy homemade ham sandwiches.

And to think just a week ago, I questioned this man's intentions.

He had the good manners not to bring up my terrible, horrifying faux paus from yesterday. Thank God!

So, I always say "Love you bye!" to my kids when we part, or hang up the phone.

It comes out like one word: "LOVEYOUBYE!"

I bet you can guess where this is going! My face is already reddening as I recall...

So, yesterday R called me to say hi. I was waiting for a bus. Just as we started talk, my bus pulled up.I was trying to board and tell R at the same time that I needed to hang up.

But in my distracted stated, I just blurted out, "LOVEYOUBYE!" Then I hung up the phone!

 And then just sat there. Staring in horror.

Of course, then I made matters worse by texting him, "OOPS!"

And then,  saying out loud to no one in particular, "I cannot believe I just said,"LOVEYOUBYE" to this man I hardly know!"

But R is a true gentleman. Not a word was spoken of this unfortunate event. Or perhaps he did not even hear me?

On that note...

Happy Wednesday!

LOVEYOUBYE!

Year Two, Day 307: Chasing Away The Gloomy Weather...with Music and a Smile! :)

It seems to me that most of the city is depressed, tired and sick. I still have my low grade snuffly nose, along with sneezing, and itching eyes.  Low energy. It is nice to know I am not the only one. Misery loves company, don't you know! Even through the gloom, I had an enjoyable day.  I told myself several times that I really am a lucky woman. My kids are grown, I'm going to be a GRANDMA, and I love my work. My church job is a nice secure little job and it seems I am quite needed there.  I am still learning the ropes. But I am enjoying it. Meeting new people. And best of all, I have only a 1 1/2 minute commute (by foot!). I have a cozy little room in a household full of wonderful laid back people.  People who love animals and music. But best of all, my afternoons are filled with music. I basically get on the bus and travel about town, sitting at pianos, visiting with students, who are like my family. We talk. They play the piano for me. I offer pointe...

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!
