1. Plumbing Plight
I needed for the new faucet to have had long enough water supply lines from the start and/or for it to have taken me less than 4 tries to find the right fix!
2. That Was Weighty
I returned to my alma mater, City High, to watch Em’s boyfriend compete in a wrestling tournament. I walked the halls and of course, found my way into the weight room and had it to myself (yes, I got permission). As I sprinted up and down the turf area, I pictured myself at age 15, running sprints on the basketball floor that used to be in the same place—it was my own version of the “Hoosiers” re-enactment!
I needed to see that my generous parents donated to the new weight room when it was built because my pride still runs deep! Thank you M&D for supporting me as a Little Hawk and generations of Little Hawks since and future!
* The State Runner-Up Co-Ed Title is listed as 1988, but was actually 1998. I know that I look young (36?) for my age (46), but the graceful aging gap is 10 years, and not 20.
3. “Or Not!”
I attended a yoga class, and was by far, not even close, the least flexible person in the room. I needed the instructor to know that I am an athlete extraordinaire but pliability is my downfall. Had she known this, she may or may not have kept reiterating lingo that may have just been the lingo, but I took personally:
Notice where it was effort. Notice where it was ease. Be curious about your practice. Grade your practice…OR NOT…it’s your practice.
K.J.’s cracked code interpretation (but again, maybe I’m being overly sensitive here):
Did you push yourself? Or, stop at easy? Apathy isn’t curious, nor intentional. Was this worth your time? No biggie if not—it’s not my time that you’re wasting.
4. Cold Case
I was in need of an aerobic workout since I have this 50k run lingering in the distance. I had a boring run-around-the-track plan on the calendar and am grateful for the impulsive precipitous eleventh hour nature-inspired deviation:
5. Knick Knack Ninja
I need to be exceedingly ahead on my mission to rid our house of items.
6. 4K—Is this okay?
4283 Views
x 7 Seconds / View
= 29,981 Seconds
= 500 Minutes
= 8.33 Hours
I needed to process these numbers because, although the attention is humbling, do we question the fact that a “workday” was spent watching this?
And I ask if we should ask as someone amongst the guilty.
7. Pick Your Poison
8. The Underwriters
Em asked Eric and I to sponsor her in a new trend—teen creates “Healthy Habits” notecards and receives noted rewards upon success.
Keep Room Clean for 5 Weeks = Starbucks
Read 5 New Books = Get a New Book
6 x 20 Minute Dog Walks = $20
“Let me get this straight…..WHERE DO I SIGN?”
“Maybe just one question; how much is a Camera Filter?”
9. Closing Credits
