Year Three, Day 353: POOF

If you have read many of my blog posts, you may have noticed that I am fond of acronyms.

IAI!

I am indeed!

I know, kind of quirky. Thankfully I am a piano teacher. I can be quirky and eccentric. It's partially expected!

In fact, perhaps that is where I acquired my fondness for acronyms. From piano lessons way back in the day.

We're talking 53 years!

If you've taken music lessons, you may have been given the atrocious "Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge", or ,Every Good Boy Does Fine,, for the notes E G B D F on the treble clef staff.

Arggg....

I won't go into it now, but I refuse to teach my students this.

But they often pick it up.

Oh well. As long as they learn to read their notes, right?

I'll talk about this in another blog.

Today I want to talk about my new acronym "POOF" Pass Out On Floor.

Because that is how I feel several times a day, every day lately.

I used to say PTFO to my daughter. We would chuckle. Pass the "F" out.

But I've been feeling guilty for setting a bad example for my daughter and granddaughter. Not good Christian behavior.

Anyway, I told my nurse practitioner about my POOFing feeling today at my check up. She was most concerned. She ordered an EKG.

My daughter has been concerned about my hear too.

I guess I should be too.

But I am glad we are getting to the bottom of this finally. I do hope to regain my strength and energy to keep up with my granddaughter!

Speaking of strength and energy, I have a student near the library where I am currently blogging. Her lesson starts in 7 min.

I'll continue this later! :)

I lied. It is 10:38 p.m. I just got home from choir practice. Exhausted, but content.

Tomorrow I have Baby Gracie duty. I can't wait to see that little munchkin!

But now, excuse me while I POOF!

Goodnight friends.

Talk to you tomorrow.

Love,

Zita

P.S. Here is today's hooping video. Day 305!

Year Three, Day 58: Marilyn Monroe's Measurements

Day 24 of daily hooping. I am determined to shrink these abs, if it is the last thing I do! Perhaps I should have that written on my tombstone: "Here lies Zita". Flat abs at last!! Well I certainly hope to attain my flat abs goal BEFORE I am dead and gone! Today's video was another rush job. But I downloaded some fun tunes to my Kindle last night. I enjoyed my hoop session more listening to the Punjabi music. It reminded me of the "Maritime Bhangra Dancers". If you haven't heard of them, you should look them up. They never fail to put a smile on my face! I am not smiling so much looking at this video. My hooping skills have improved a bit, but that menopot has got to go! After my hoop session, I walked 3/4 mile to the bus stop. I was planning on attending the 10:00 a.m. Mass at the Grotto, but it was cutting it close. Plus, I was feeling the need for a Starbucks iced tea. Today was Iced Passionfruit/Black Tea, no sugar whatsoever. The ic...

Year Two, Day 274: I Like Me. RIP Packy!

Today's fruit of the spirit that I am focusing on is patience. This I need more of. And coincidentally (or not), I read in my book Challenge: A Daily Meditation Program Based on the Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius by Mark Link, S.J. the following: "I asked God to give me happiness, and God said, 'No.' He said that patience is a by-product of tribulation. It isn't granted, it is earned." Well, not to sound smug, but I am certainly earning my patience award! :) I am having a good day, however I am a bit over caffeinated. I earned (patiently lol) a free latte today at Starbucks. On a side note, I love being a regular customer. I walked into my regular Starbucks today, and one of the barista's yelled, "Zita!" from across the room. I felt like I was in an episode of "Cheers"! I love being recognized in a friendly manner. I had a venti "Smoked Butterscotch Latte with soy". I have found the per...

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!
