Birthday fun ...

... on hold!  We have a sick foster AGAIN!  Up 2 nights with barfing IN THE BED and midnight baths and loads of sleep-less fun.  He's holding at the emergency vet today - hopefully, a pick-up this afternoon.  Poor him.  Poor me.  Poor bedding.

But plenty of time to celebrate.  And you know I WILL!

I ordered another birthday present for myself.  Why?  Because I'm worth it LOL.  I've wanted a pair of American flag running shorts FOREVER.  I've never found a fit/style that might work for me.  A fellow boxing class peep had the exact type I was looking for - so I asked her where she got them.  They are currently on their way to ME!  I hope they look nice.  I'll wear them at home, but still have to fit!  If they look GOOD, I'll wear them for running races, etc too.

And some more good news ... my OTHER shorts fit too.  Not sort of fit, but actually fit.  There IS progress (damn pictures).  This is a WIN I needed.  Thanks Universe for at least this small favor!

I'm trying to control my stress these last couple of days because I'm scared of another COLD SORE!  Lately, they come in a progressively worse line-up of THREE.  One down ... I hope no more to come.  Breathe.

While hubby golfs and I'm waiting on the vet call, I took MY pups for a FREE Starbucks.  Yea!  Finding small pleasure where I can, when I can and focusing on NO stress reaction.

I had a fun interval run on the treadmill this morning.  Fast, down and dirty.  HARD.  Short.  Something different (and I need to get to vet - so got it done ASAP).  I was up against the clock and I liked it.  My energy felt the best it has since I started Whole30 - not sure if that was adrenaline or simply better energy.  Either way - I'll take it.

Yesterday was coffee with a great friend and foot massages.  It was a nice afternoon after a really productive morning.  I turned my phone off for a couple of hours and my world didn't collapse.  I think this might be a new part to most of my days.  Peace and quiet.

On that note, while I wait, I think I'll head to the deck and read my book.  Later gators.
