Year Three, Day 118: Forward and Reverse

Got sleep last night.

Today is not as hot, or smoky. Yesterday I felt like I was run over by a truck. Forward and reverse. I knew I needed to retreat and revive. I didn't even get a chance to hoop yesterday. Which I really missed. But there is so much going on in my life, and in the life of the whole world, that I need to prioritize. Baby Burrito, my daughter and her husband are priority. My son and the rest of our family is a close second. My health- physical, mental, emotional and spiritual is next.

But you know, if I'm not healthy, I can't help my family. Kind of a catch-22 scenario is my life!

There is nothing like a brand new baby to help put everything back into perspective.

This morning I was still so tired. Sleep deprivation, smoke inhalation, and worry tend to do that.

But I forced myself to get vertical. And do a short hoop session. Most stiff was I!

But I did it! Made a strong cup of black tea. And headed over to the church office. Today was bulletin printing day.

It was busier than usual. Which was good.

Time flew by. And now I am heading to Vancouver. To hang out with the Baby Burrito!

There is so much more. Maybe I'll talk about it tomorrow. But for now, I wish you a happy Thursday!


Until tomorrow,

Zita



Here is today's hooping video. Day 83!

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 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...
