Dance Card

Still empty on the friend front, but I'm forcing a few ideas for this week.

Hubby and I took our little dog on a nature walk yesterday.  4 miles of path in the woods -- fun morning.  (This after an unexpected hard interval workout.  Turns out, I need a warm-up, not an easy day.)

We have a pool and clubhouse at our new house.  We've used is ZERO times.  Taking a snack and books and doing an evening at the pool (probably more like an hour) but change of scenery and it counts - hah.  BTW we had the same at the old house and I went to the pool 2 times in 6 years.

Repeating some of the fun from last weekend.  No need to re-invent the wheel.  Farmers Market and Unity service.  Both were nice starts to the day so going for 2 in a row.  My girlfriend is planning to go on Sunday and we'll have breakfast after -- could the streak be over next week??  She's prone to cancel because she's so overwhelmed with company this month so I'm not counting on it, but I'll go either way.

We already covered the massage on Thursday.

Added lunch with my youngest today.  Last week before he goes back to a M-F schedule at work.

Not bad for friendless fun.

I have my coaching call this morning.  Update tomorrow, of course.

I had a call from a very old, good friend (my college roommate at Drexel way back when).  We chatted for a couple of hours and it was nice.  We recently had a mega catch-up call so this was totally unexpected.  She was driving home from a family funeral (old, sick uncle) and had time to kill.  During this "friendless" slump, it was like a virtual coffee date.

I started a couple new things ... book and Netflix.  Jury is out on both.

Karolina's Twins -- Ronald Balson.  3rd in a series, but I see why it reads independently.  I'd never know this was a series (I think the lawyer and investigator might be repeat characters).  It's good so far, but it's another WW2 book and I'm over-read in those books.  But, it has some mystery and it's interesting.  I have to finish it by next Thursday for book club.

Derry Girls on Netflix.  A friend recommended it.  It's a sitcom style show from Ireland.  It's funny, but the lead female character seems to overact in a I'm-trying-to-be-extra-funny-with-my-face kind of way.  It's distractingly annoying.  We watched 2 episodes.  Still watching (nothing else to watch right now).  That said, I did laugh a few times each episode (only 23 minutes each).

TREAT today is lunch with my youngest.

TOOL is TRUST the process.  I want all my crap fixed NOW.  Slow down, take time.  Value little wins.

Happy hump day -- later gators.
