Year Two, Day 143: RA and Eye Candy at the Justice Center





I am starting my own 12-step program.  I have recovery on the brain. Especially with my son's issues.

Mine will be called. RA.

"R" Anonymous.

Just for today, I will not text him.  I will not try to board his bus.  I will try not to think about him.

It's worked so far.

It has been 4 days since we last spoke.

I've got this!

I had two fabulous meals in less then 24 hours. So I am heading to the gym for a good workout.

The "Primal Plate" at Primal Burger
Last night after my last student in the Woodstock area, I decided to finally try "Primal Burger" on SE Woodstock and 49th. Oh man, was it good! I had the "Primal Plate" which consisted of a big, juicy hamburger patty, collard greens and a salad with pumpkin seeds. The burger was so juicy, I did not even miss the bun! I also had raspberry kombucha tea on tap.  The owner came over and introduced himself. It was fabulous experience.

If I ever go on to contestant number 2, this would be a good meet and greet spot!

Then this morning I headed downtown to the Justice Center. My son and I had breakfast at the Good Earth Cafe on the day of his arraignment. He had asked me to hang on to his sweatshirt. I inadvertantly left it in the restaurant. I called yesterday and they had amazingly found it!

Things are looking up! It is my son's favorite sweatshirt.

So I headed down to pick it up. I was quite hungry when I got there, so I had yet another burger! I should have had it bunless. But I did skip the fries. I had a blue cheese/mushroom burger and coffee.



Delish!

And what was even more delish you might ask?

The Portland Police department is in the same building as the Justice Center.

And all of these handsome cops were coming in and visiting with each other while I munched my burger and gazed in admiration.


Eye candy has no calories I am told!


Maybe I should hang out there more often?

:)

Happy Thursday!

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...

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!
