Day 107: Cauliflower Pizza Crust, Ethiopian Food and a Foot Massage, Oh My! :)

Today I had lunch with my son and daughter at the food carts at Cartlandia on SE 82nd.  I ate at Rahel's Ethiopian Food Cart.

Oh my goodness. I love Ethiopian food! I first tried it years ago at Jarra's on SE Hawthorne. This was superb. Flavorful. Healthy. I had spicy lamb, collard greens on rice instead of the injerra bread because I am avoiding wheat. The young lady who served me was so gracious and sweet. Highly recommended! My son had the traditional Doro Wat (chicken) with vegetables, rice and hard boiled egg.

Love this food!

As predicted, I had low energy today. I felt like I had been run over by a truck. It is my typical post concert depression. But I expected it. And I was prepared!

In the morning, I texted Daniel at The Fabulous Foot Spa and scheduled a massage. He got me in at 10:30 a.m. Afterwards, I headed to Fred Meyer on a mission. I was going to make cauliflower pizza crust! I've seen the recipe in several gluten free books.  I also stopped at the kiosk to check my BP Weight.

I think the two Bloody Mary's my daughter made me last night after the concert did not do my weight and BP any favors. But the good news is I have lost a pound from last week.  Everything else has remained the same. My BP is still in the normal range, but I think it will be lower tomorrow. I'm going to start adding my BP to my weekly weights and measurements.

I did not really do much exercise besides walking and light stretching today.  Tomorrow I am hitting the trail for sure!
I made the cauliflower pizza crust and topped it with salami, mushrooms and olives. My son said it was very tasty. I think I shall have some for breakfast. But only ice water tonight!
Happy Monday! :)

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 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!
