Year Two, Day 148: Shhh!

 8:45 a.m.

Shhhh!

I am on R's bus. Right at this very moment. He does not know I am blogging about him. So let's keep this between us!

It is raining, So I am not talking to him. Safety first! Also, since he is driving, I was able to sneak a selfie. I am having a good face day. I think the rain helps. My eyes are not as puffy. I think the rain washes out all the allergens from the air.

I had suggested to R that we be friends. It just felt right. Feelings were too complicated before with our wild, manic text flirting. At least for me. This feels more comfortable.

But is comfortable what I really want? R is so dang handsome. And such a sweet talker. When I told him I would like to be friends and i had missed talking to him, he said. "I never left you, Sunshine".

Geez.  How could a woman not love this man?!

I am happy we are friends.

I made my famous breakfast burritos for us to eat on his break. Then off to the gym we go.

Actually we are at our destination. I will come back after the gym and tell you more.....


1:04 p.m.

Wow, I had the most incredible work out. R really knows what he is doing in the weight department. I feel fabulous! We did a total of 1 hour cardio. Then he had me work on my biceps and back.  Some free weights, some machine. Again, he expressed amazement at how strong I am.  I am amazed too!

Interestingly, my bones and joints ache when I do not work out. But if I can work past the pain (especially with a certain gorgeous Latino man), I am on top of the world.

I am on top of the world now!

I don't know if he is honoring my request at just being friends, but he did not do much flirting.  Now, embarrassingly I am disappointed. We had breakfast on the bus, worked out, sat in the hot tub, talked and then he drove me to the library.  No hug, kiss. Just a "See you tomorrow babe. You look fabulous!"

Sigh.

But I did get a good workout. And I am on top of the world, even though I slid down a bit.

But I get to do it again tomorrow. And he promised to buy me lunch.

Happy Tuesday! :)

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!
