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!
