Today feels like a good day. My daughter had the day off, so we finally got to go to the gym together again! Her husband had her car, so we rode the bus together. It was so pleasant. We got to chat and talk about her job and her projects. The bus was empty and the driver gave us day passes instead of the 2.5 hour ones we purchased. Plus a very nice friendly smile he gave!
My daughter gave me one of her knowing looks. But I'm not sure I want to start another bus driver romance. LOL.
We had a nice easy cardio workout. My low back is still quite tight. I left a message for the physical therapist. I am hoping to get in next week.
After the gym we stopped at the grocery store. Both of us have been overeating. Since the temperature has dropped so drastically the last week, I feel like a bear. I want to eat and store up for the winter. And then hibernate until spring!
So we bought fresh vegetables for a cabbage soup. It is currently bubbling away in the crockpot.
On the way back from the gym, we got the same bus driver. We smiled. That is all. I think I will put romance on hold for now. Friendship is all I am craving. For now.
On the way back home, my daughter turned to me and smile. "I like riding the bus", she said. "It is very relaxing!"
"Welcome to my world!" I grinned.
I am going to blog and then heading out to teach group piano.
I had a wonderful week socially. Except for awkward restaurant owner dude. I hope to erase that memory soon!
Monday night, an old friend from high school contacted me. We have become reaquainted on Facebook. She was in town looking for a retirement home for her mom. We had not seen each other since high school...so quick math...36 years!
She picked me up from the neighborhood of my last students and we went to my favorite "hidden" bar, the "Over and Out" off of SE 81st and Stark, hidden behind the Observatory. If I ever do have a romantic conquest, I am so taking him there!

We had a few drinks and appetizers, laughs and great conversation! I so do miss girlfriend time. I definitely need to make more time for friends in my life.
Then last night, I was teaching my last student of the evening. I teach a boy and several of his neighbors all in one night. His grandma and mother, and boy down the street (also my student) and his mom all asked me to stay for dinner.
It was so lovely! We sat around the table in the kitchen, eating lovely chicken/vegetable curry and rice, drinking red wine and talking about life, politics, the state of our country and back pain!
More good female bonding.
I do love men. And some day I hope to meet my soulmate. But I must never forget the sisters!
Happy Friday!
Much Love to you all!
Zita :)
