This week has been an absolute blur. When I came back into town from the lake on Sunday I visited my father and my sister and her son arrived also. We all intended to visit Lowe’s to find plants for the yard. It was a fun excursion with Daddy and I think we wore him out. Back home I was still mourning my broken window in my car but I knew it would be fixed this week, I just didn’t know it would be Wednesday before it was done. I ended up driving R’s prized 1979 El Camino that was his step-dad’s. It was a pretty smooth ride but I sure missed my little red car. Anyway, I hit the floor Monday morning running. I went to Jazzercise and after flew home for a bit of breakfast then on to my personal trainer. EGADS!!!! He worked me out so very hard on my quads that I thought I was going to DIE! Later on that day I forgot I had to make a missed bowling day so at 4:00 we bowled 3 games in an hour and then I rushed home to get workout clothes on for the walk at 6pm. I should have stayed home as it was 3.63 miles and hills. I could hardly walk by the time I got home and again for the next few days. Now my biceps and quads are in knots as we did the quads again. I keep telling myself that it is all worth it but man I hurt. I’ve had more workouts at Jazzercise and skipped bowling but went to a dance class with R. Today I finally got a little relief in 3 hours of massage and a facial. It was glorious. I have decided that this time in my life is all about me. I’ve given to R and the business for 32 and 28 years (in that order) and the kiddo’s and friends and service organizations, church, etc. I’m ready to take care of and pamper me. I’ve earned it, it is time. I may only have a short time to be selfish, I mean that if grandkids appear in the next few years then I will again be giving but now there are none. So R and I can be selfish and I’m enjoying every minute of it.
What’s up this week.
