It is difficult, at
times, to be so ultra-aware of the actions (or lack thereof) of others, because
I often take it personally, whether it is so or not. There are so many emotionally-based thoughts
coursing through my brain and I act accordingly, trying to hide my hurt feelings but feeling them so readily. Soap operas were never interesting to me,
most likely because I have one on a loop in my head. <self-drama queen>
It was probably not
a very wise idea to take off my boots and walk a mile and a half at Union Mine today. I ended up with blisters on my feet (despite
being a barefoot runner a few years ago – my poor feet aren’t used to it
anymore) and <get this> shin splints…FROM
WALKING (though at a very brisk
pace). The silver lining is this: At the end of day three with my FitBit, I
walked 15, 620 steps, following yesterday’s 10,200+ and Tuesday’s 5,200+. Each day I’m up five thousand steps. So
much for taking it easy.
I received the news from my sister that we closed the sale
of La Bodega Odessa today. The final part
is complete. I’m a little sad, but very
happy that Sally will be re-opening it soon and hope that Odessa treats her
right. She has a lot of experience in the
restaurant business and even managed La Bodega Odessa for a while when my
father was alive, so she knows the ropes.
If anyone can make it a success, it is Sally. I wish her the best.
Group tonight with Jen was absolutely electrifying. She ran half of group and I ran half of it
and once it was finished, she told me I was a natural, that I had done an incredible
job. Do you have any IDEA how those words meant to me, coming from someone as gifted and skilled as she is?!?! It
took half a lifetime, yet I believe I am finally
in my perfect profession – all of those extremely difficult life situations
finally paying off in dividends for me.
Now to help others, so that all those mistakes I’ve made do someone some
good.
And now…a four day weekend (which I didn’t learn of until 4th
block yesterday). I’m very excited. I shall sleep in tomorrow, have coffee and
cake (!!!) for breakfast, clean, do some yoga and try to beat 15,000 steps, then
see my client tomorrow evening. It will
be a glorious weekend of preparing a garden and taking the dogs for a hike with
my valentine, Mother Nature. Monday I’ll
pick up the kids and we will go on a biking adventure in Folsom. Life is Beautiful.
