I was taking out the trash last night when Kitty Kat and Picasso looked at me with those huge eyes - ready to go for a walk! So we went for a walk last night. Media (aka Pi) decided to pass on the walk - she was probably off hunting rabbits somewhere. It was a beautiful fall evening - glad the cats got me out of the house. They really are so cute.
I received my gym membership in the mail and joined yesterday. So today at lunchtime - no more going out for lunch to get out of the house. I will go to the gym.
They have a really nice pool - with a waterfall thingy. I love water. I am going swimming today. Since I did that silly missing a step again - I am still a little sore. I may start out slow and do the circuit training. And they have a steam room and a dry sauna! I will be spending some time in probably steam room today!
I am still have a few more pounds to go before I am back to the weight I was when I commuted downtown for work. This working from home thing - well those pounds sneak up on you!
This weekend - I am adding volunteering at the food pantry again. Williams Sonoma called to remind me about my class this weekend - turns out they use no alcohol during the cocktail mixology class! There is a latin cocktail mixology class in downtown Chicago - may be have to sign up for that one too... That class is not free so they will use alcohol.
As for dating - I will continue to put myself out there. And there is always word of mouth and friends of friends. Perhaps my standards are too high... However - people thought I was a little nutty in the way I started my own business - and how selective I was about accepting clients - but it worked for me.
I am thinking about throwing a party in November... I have a nice circle of friends in my neighborhood now - took some trying and lots of going to different types of social events. I am glad I made the effort. I really knew no one when I worked downtown - was always busy working back then...
All in life is good! There are few sounds as beautiful as the sounds of someone else mowing your lawn! Well - perhaps someone else cleaning your house - I am going to set that up this fall.
I think I am slowly approaching a balance in my life - one that includes GAL!
They really are so cute.
