A Good Day

Thank you, everyone, for your responses, you've helped me out a great deal.

It also helped that it was 76° today and sunny and I ran around in it for a while like a loon. Got a ton of writing done, though mostly not my personal projects. Jet had a special musical program. And I wore out a bike seat.

Yeah. Actually wore out my bike's seat to the point it was breaking down and John actually had to go buy a new one.



It's a five-year-old gel seat. It started leaking gel everywhere... so John bought me a new one yesterday, and I used it to ride to Target and, later in the day, to get Jet from school after his volleyball class and it was dark by the time we got home. And the new one is a beauty, a little harder, but just as broad, and good support.

Since it froze hard here, my allergies have been better, and my breathing is clear even at the bottom of a breath, now. Whew.

Unsurprisingly I gained weight on my Oakland trip. I am now shedding it at a decent rate.

I had my second massage, and did so much rp and writing after that my arms feel kind of burnt out, now. *sigh* But my legs and back are recovering, I think, from traveling quite so much. So that's to the good. Plus my massage therapist is having a holiday sale! *dances about*

Tonight Jet had a special musical program, so we had dinner early at Saigon Express, and I had the egg noodle soup, and ate one egg roll while John and Jet took turns eating the other. We got Jet to his lineup at 5:30 and then sat in the crowded gym with all the other parents until 6. Hee. That was actually fun as we caught up with adults we see now and again.

The program was all the 2nd and 3rd grades plus a special 4th grade choir that was actually quite good. About an hour all together, and then a bunch of folk headed to Cold Stone to celebrate. That was fun. A very nice evening.

And Jet's losing yet another tooth and showing it to everyone that will pause to take a look. *laughs* That is so him. I need to update my icons of him on this site...

I need to sleep before I'm too much of a pumpkin. Good night, folks. And thank you all, again.

I think I missed something. What was it?

Glad to hear about the allergies doing better!

Yeah! And the breathing is better too. That's been... *great*.

There wasn't a specific thing to miss. *laughs* I had no good reason, but was just really down and unhappy with myself. And folks did a lot to cheer me up. Still kinda bemused by that.

Sounds like a busy day. I am glad it was fun and I am glad you're doing better. Now I just need to figure out what's up with my stomach and allergies then all will be good.

*giggles and hugs warmly*

Yes. That is likely why. Though... I still go, "Wow!!' And the bad part of my brain goes feh. Stupid brain. *sighs*

*hugs* I am.

And you do need to figure that out!!

So I'm not the only one whose breath clears whenever it freezes... It's one of the reasons I love winter. With a bit of luck, we should be getting some frost (and possibly even snow O.O *gasp*) in the next few days, so one can hope. I miss Norway in that respect.

And you guys bike? Awesome! You rarely hear that in the US... (Here, biking is common place, there's more bikes than people in the Netherlands and I bike one and a half hour daily)

We moved to this neighborhood because we could walk to work, bike to the grocery store, drug store, and bookstore. *laughs*

It's a really nice place with lots of stuff close-by and for the last year or two we've been doing all of it by bike or electric scooter... It's been great!

*laughs* Ah the losing teeth is still so much fun. My son gets such a kick out of everyone.

76? Oh sometimes I wish we lived in a more mild climate. It's been in the 30's and low 40's for weeks now.

Glad you're feeling a little better and that the allergies are under better control too.

*hugs* for even more better days.

Hee. Yes. Jet really gets a kick out of the ladies going "Eww!" and the guys getting a kick out of it.

Yeah... it was 30's today... but still relatively mild, and probably 50's tomorrow. We don't go way down until mid-December/Jan timeframe.

*hugs back warmly* Thank you!
