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 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,  ...

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...
