I can’t believe I forgot to mention yesterday morning: my European dream may still have a few breathes in her. As we drove, Ethan asked if, once he acquired his US driver’s license, he would have to retake/learn everything in Europe. Wait – what?!?!? A shadow of possibility still exists! Mags was busy listened to her tunes, so once I dropped Boy off, I had to let her know that – yay! – we’ll be moving to Europe next year. Crickets.
Up to my school site where I discovered a brisk walk with client in the overcast, sprinklyish morning was much smarter than sitting in my office. Plus, I have medical bac
king on the benefits of endorphin stimulation created by walking. Prog notes and up to the next site for group where…
…I tripped and flew through the doorway like a gazelle dancing…after a bottle of scotch. This was probably not the best thing for my back, considering yesterday’s events. I sat for the entire group, then soon it was time to head down the hill back to my site. Best thing to do is walk it off, so I did. I told most of “my kids” that unless it’s pouring rain, we will be walking outside for our session.
Necessary stop to pick up popsicles and tea (maybe a few other things) at the store. I remembered I’d made my first tomato bisque this weekend, so that would be my dinner. Now….about these damn cranberries. Yes, they somehow made it into my shopping basket with lemons and sweet-condensed milk. If I stopped eating sugar, the pounds would fall off, but unfortunately, my record is 9 hours (as I discovered when I began my “sugar-free October” on 10.1). I know I’m not “fat” (I prefer “squishy”), yet I feel better about myself when I’m down to my preferred 140 pounds. Fuck.
Looking forward to the rain and this upcoming weekend. I’ve decided this “coffee table” needs to go before my Christmas company arrives, so I’m trying to create a “more grown-up” home. I really did not believe we’d be in the house past July 14. I guess the joke’s on me.
