<\/p>\nI find myself back in the world where I’m trying to find me.<\/p>\n
I guess I should say that it’s not so much as finding me as it is trying to figure out my new routine until next semester.<\/p>\n
So yesterday I started hiking again. My nephew (we adopted him while he looks for a job) joined me in a nice 4 mile hike up and down the hills in the hood. It proved to be a great workout with a few battle scars.\u00a0I got a fresh blister on my bitty toe. And my muscles ache like mad, especially this morning when my feet hit the floor. Boy was it rough getting out of bed.<\/p>\n
And boy was it a harsh reminder that I’m out of shape.<\/p>\n
And here I was months ago plowing thru this like nothing.<\/p>\n
I told the hubs upon waking that I thought I’d take the day off. I’m dying after all.<\/p>\n
So when my nephew approached me (while I was making\/packing the hubs breakfast and lunch) to see when we were going to hike. I gave him my “I ache and have a blister and need to rest for a day” line.<\/p>\n
He didn’t buy it. He said “don’t you need to keep doing it until it stops hurting?” Nice Buddy, nice way to understand my soreness and bitty blister first thing in the morning. Not to mention I hadn’t had my coffee yet.<\/p>\n
I said “give me 30 min”. I’m so glad I did. Thanks Buddy, and I mean it!<\/p>\n
The band-aid didn’t help my little toe at all but I managed to kick some butt and knock out those hills. But I’m switching to a blister band-aid tomorrow. Yes, I’m signed up for a 6 mile hike with him in the morning. Yay for having a walking buddy to push me!<\/p>\n
In other news, I’m sure you all are dying to know that I found our backgammon set.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yes, I did! After moving, how long has it been now? Right, 11 months ago. It was in a drawer of a little chest that we never use. I can’t for the life of me remember putting it there, but I did. I found it because we were on a mission to find something, I don’t even remember what we were looking for. But when I found it, you have no idea the joy that came over me!\u00a0Now the hubs and I are back to our nightly tournaments.<\/p>\n
While I search to find things to fill my time, I’m ever so thankful for the little things that have already popped up. I’m sure there will be plenty to fill my time in the days ahead. Things like Christmas shopping and shopping for a Christmas dress and overall looking for a few new clothes. It should be fun!<\/p>\n
