I got up this morning and I actually felt like exercising. It was amazing. I can't remember how long it's been since I had that much energy. It's a really, really nice feeling. I did zumba from about 6:30 to 7:30, and then showered. It was so satisfying to know I had accomplished something significant by 8:00 in the morning.
That was important, because after breakfast I started in on e-mails, and spent most of the rest of the morning writing those, as well as composing our weekly update. Who knew it would take that long?? I got a bit creative with today's newsletter, and you know what? It kind of took away my desire to write the blog tonight. Like I had already scratched that creative itch for today.
Put supper in the crock pot while my Mr. heated up lunch: lentil stew that he had made a few days before. Boy is it good. I talked to a friend on the telephone for a while. A little TV time, then I played Angry Birds a bit.
It was a bit funny, because while I was fixated on those digital birds, my kitty was in the window sill captivated by the real birds that were just out of her reach. It drives her crazy.
Then I met a friend at a coffee shop, enjoyed a decaf mocha, and visited with her for a few hours. We talked and talked, about simply everything. It was nice. Then on the way home I stopped to visit my friend who's running the restaurant that I painted last month. She had had a particularly bad day, and so I listened as she vented.
Home, supper out of the crock pot, fun TV again. Not a particularly profound day, but satisfying anyway. The one thing I didn't work in was Jesus time, which is probably why I was not really thinking about Him much as I went through the day. Too bad. Wonder what it could have been like if I had been more aware of His presence.
The little cat really cracked me up today, even though she was being bad. I have been typing recently with my laptop on the kitchen table—a place she is not allowed to be. So, when I saw her leap up out of the corner of my eye, I sternly said, "Hey!" Did she jump down? NO. Instead she crouched down behind the vertical screen part of my laptop, making herself so small that I truly couldn't see her at all. As if, if I didn't see her, I would forget about the kitty on the table. It made me laugh out loud, and my attempts to be stern were forgotten. Then a few hours later, she did the exact same thing again. What am I supposed to do when she is so terribly cute in her naughtiness?!
Well, I think I'm going to sign off and try for a little quiet time before bed. Better late than never, right?
