Year Three, Day 206: Amazing Gracie!

I had such a lovely visit with Baby Grace this morning. I spent the night last night. She fussed quite a bit before bedtime, but once she was down, she was down for the count! She slept straight through from 10:30 p.m. to 5:30 a.m.! My daughter, the exhausted working mama was ecstatic! She said when they get their new home, they would like me to be the live in nanny! I would love that!

At 5:30 a.m., my daughter fed Gracie for about an hour and then put her in her crib. She slept again from 5:30 to 10:30 a.m., giving her grandma some much needed rest!

Then when I heard her starting to grunt and wake up, I greeted her at her crib. She was all smiles and "goo-goo gah gahs"! She wasn't even interested in eating when she first woke up. She we did some activities. Such a wonderful way to spend the morning!

I am on my way to grab a bowl of pho before I teach. I have my doctor's appointment tomorrow (but thankfully with the nurse practitioner since doctor is booked up). I'm hoping she will take my cough seriously.

I did manage a short hoop workout.

But now I need to sign off so I have time for lunch before I teach.

Talk to you tomorrow!

Love,

Zita

Here is today's hoop video. Day 169!

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...

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!

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, ...
