I broke down and finally went to Sketchers and got myself some good leather exercise shoes. Jeanne had suggested I wear better shoes and I kept meaning to go get them but then I finally had to. An old ankle fracture started making noises at me after I worked out. They had the 2nd pr half off so I got Lou a pair of shoes too. He may have to exchange them, but I got 'em anyway.
Sitting here after finishing housework. I also got a nice newsy letter off to Ben. I try hard to just share life from my perspective. I know I probably come off a little preachy and didactic at times, but I keep trying. The important thing to me for him is to keep "talking" to him since I missed so may years of really having an authentic conversation with him. He never writes back, but he does tell me when he calls that he is liking them and saving all of them. I feel honored.
So, I am sitting here pooped from housework, looking out on the beautiful day and just feeling that wonderful feeling that more often than not accompanies a nostalgic memory; where you feel all is right with the world. I communicated with both my kids in one form or another today. I ate lunch with my husband who is so good to me and got a new pair of shoes to boot! How lucky am I?
Lou and I have an emergency plan; if the world all goes to hell, we'll just take off in the truck, leave it all behind and just travel around the country; stopping to work when we need the money. We'd probably want a trailer and one of the motorcycles. Its funny, when you have a backup plan, nothing scares you.
T Tapp tonight. I look forward to that sooooo much! and I get to wear my new shoes.
ps Well the new shoes made such a difference in the intensity of my workout.....what was I thinking. I came home feeling the wonderful endorphin rush. Made dinner for the two of us and then out to the dock to watch the sunset with our orange/cream popcicles. What a life!
