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!

Day 347: My Big Fat Greek Salad!!

I have perfected the art of making a Greek salad!  I have made two huge bowls in the last week. My kinds rave. Essentially the secret is f vegetables , good feta cheese, Greek olives and a homemade dressing made with light, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, red wine vinegar,  and oregano. Here is my recipe: MY BIG FAT GREEK SALAD Serves 4 hungry adults 4 cups greens (I used a "spring mix" from Fred Meyer) 2 cucumbers 6 roma tomatoes one small red onion 1 cup cubed feta cheese 1 cup Greek olives (pitted) Get out a big bowl. Peel a clove of garlic, cut in half and rub it over the interior of the bowl.  Wash the lettuce if it is not prewashed and packaged like mine was.  Dry the leaves, and tear into bite sized pieces. Throw into the big bowl. Note: Romaine lettuce is good to include in the mix, because it is hearty. Peel the cucumbers and dice. Add to bowl. Cut the roma tomatoes in half and squeeze out the seeds (otherwise they make th...

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 50: Mindful Biking

More breaking ground today. I rode my bike to the Max, and then to my first student, who coincidentally lives close to my gym.  Maggie waiting patiently for me at the gym, 6/28/2016 I am starting to notice positive changes from my daily biking.  First of all, I feel such a sense of freedom and exhiliration when I hop on and take off.  It reminds me of my childhood. My brother and I rode all over Vancouver, WA on summer break.  It was my first experience of independence from a rather harsh father.  Back then we didn't wear helmets. And there were many hills. I will never forget the joy of coasting down a hill with the wind in my hair. I have hints of the feeling now. I also have noticed my energy is higher. And although I am sore (cycling uses muscles that I have not worked in awhile), I am getting stronger. Feeling strong! Cycling is also good for my mind. I find myself going through routes in my head. I am hoping to add more routes to my day...
