Year Two, Day 134: Lost My Cookies!

I got up early this morning.  Today was my workout day with R.  I decided to make him some cookies. He told me peanut butter were his favorite.  It felt really sweet to make cookies for a special friend.  I turned up the music and danced and cleaned and baked! I felt like Cinderella! :)

I found a recipe for gluten-free peanut butter cookies.  We have been avoiding gluten in our household for the past year. My son-in-law is not celiac, that we know, but it is obvious that he has a sensitivity. So do I. And I think R does too. 

Let me tell you. These cookies are divine! You do not even miss the flour!

You can find the recipe here:

But as my luck would happen, we lost the cookies!  We went out for lunch after a very good, intense workout.  I had a Diet Coke. I know, cancer in laboratory rats. It is my one vice that I am clinging to.  Diet Coke makes me happy. It also makes me spacey.

I had the bag of cookies on the table. In a little paper bag.  The server came over and asked if she could clear the table.

I had this vague, uneasy feeling. I told her yes.

A few minutes later, R asked, "Did she throw away our cookies?"

OY!

I actually suggested we run and fetch them out of the garbage. They were in a zip locked bag in a paper bag.  But when I saw the look on R's face, I relent. R is OCD about cleanliness.

And I am a space cadet!


I left the rest of the cookies on a sheet on the stove with a note for the kids. I am sure I will come home to only crumbs.

I am mourning the loss of my cookies.

But mostly I am so embarrassed!  I think this will be humorous later.

And perhaps we did not need the sugar after such a good workout.

But those cookies were the bomb!

I guess I will be getting up at the crack of dawn again tomorrow.

To make another batch of cookies!

But now, I must head out to teach piano.  Hopefully my brain fog will subside.

Happy Tuesday!

Don't lose your cookies!

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 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!

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...
