October 9, 2015



Up…plodded into the kitchen, turned on the coffee maker, then went to wake Mags.  She has Quoia Café on Friday mornings and has to be at school at 7:15.  I got into bed, turned on the laptop, and saw it was only 10:54.  Huh??  Checked my iPhone – same thing, and then went into the kitchen to check the 22-minutes-fast stove clock – 11:16.  Sigh.  How did this happen?   Yay – 7 more hours of sleep!  I intercepted Maggie in the hallway and sent her back to bed…

..and then I tossed and turned about finding a new place to work.  I imagined all the rooms, all the people and was sad.  It took me two hours to fall asleep after my early-wakening, but once it was time, I was on fire.  Brought Maggie to school, and as a rap song came on, we both started “rap head” in synchronicity.  The bonding moment was beyond heavenly for me.  Headed back to my boy – and I swear I heard him humming as he was getting his laundry!!  Maggie and I had spoken as I dropped her off to school, she sees the stark contrast, as well.  Anyone who knows Ethan sees it.  

Back to the gym where I got in a good workout again – no 698 calories, but over 500.  Not too shabby.  I did 100 squates again and noticed that my thighs are no longer arguing with one another.  They leave each other in relative peace.  No thigh gap – I’m not built that way and am fine with that, but yay!!  Shower and then off to see my 11:00 client.  On the way there – I fell in love.  A gorgeous man on a motorcycle passed me and checked me out, and I did the same.  We passed each other a few times, and then he got in the lane so I could look right at him, but I couldn’t do it.  Performance anxiety, I guess…   Another lost love…. My client didn’t show up due to  miscommunication, but that’s ok, because I learned that, there is a possibility I may be able to stay there…it depends on if a grant comes in or not.  The joys of non-profit.  I hope so, but again, I’ve been taught a lesson.  I am such a drama queen…removing almost all my things out of the office to prep myself for not being there!  Oy Vey.  I had the opportunity to speak with a wonderful man about a client I have and get some insight and input on possible changes I can make.  I love learning from these people.  

I soon headed home to work on my CANS stuff for work; however I was distracted by a man with some meat.  Really – he came to the door and filled my freezer for an amazing price.  Off to bring Mags to her friend’s house and as I was pulling in, another mom requested my son for the evening for her son, so there I have it – a night alone!  Another trip to the gym!!  But first, I headed to the shelter to go check on my kid and see how he was and also spoke with Edwin Markham (kidding – it was Steve) and got a plan about how to effectively case manage this situation.


 After, I grabbed the dogs, stuck a T-bone in water to defrost, and we headed to the park.  Lots of running for this Mabi and her bouncy little friend before another gym run to get in a little more before I enjoy my T-bone with garlic butter. I managed another 100 squats and saw a woman looking like what I hope I can look somewhat like in the next year.  I told her how amazing she was.  To be fair, the gents were quite lovely as well.  If anyone wonders where all the hot guys are on a Friday night…  My dessert ended up being crunchy peanut butter on rice cakes, but amazingly, when you’re in the right mindset, this is a heavenly dessert!
