Journaling,

Amazing day! Signed up for cross-fit! I start Monday. Have been running and not much else. Time to get strong. They are very nice there and the owner said that the people there are mostly working professionals around my age. Hallelujah! I live in a college town and it will be nice to meet people in my age group.

A sweet neighbor helped me clear ice off of my car last week. Young man (20 something). He is now parking next to me so I went and got him a little gift card for gas or whatever. I was struggling that day emotionally, and his kindness meant so much to me!

Treated myself to an over-priced soup & sandwich and spent a while at the book store. Purchased "Gates of Fire", and the movies "300" and "This is 40".

I would like to join a book club, but Covid.

I was supposed to go on a hike today with a new hiking group but it fell through.

Looking so forward to getting to work! Tentative start date is the 25th but if paperwork goes through - maybe sooner. Too much time right now to think and I can only run so often.

Grocery shopped and a man approached me in the cat isle. We chatted about cats (I'm sitting for my son's cat) and it was just nice to talk to a human.

Then I ran into him again in the rice isle and I think he may have flirted with me!

Don't worry, y'all - I didn't pounce. rawr. lol

Cleaned up the apartment and excited about a new book and movie a little later.

I haven't been able to read like I used to. My brain jumps too much. I think my anxiety is down, so I'm gonna give it a go.

Spoke with DIL and will pick up the grands tomorrow. 8 & 4 y/o and they are so much fun. They love coming here and I love my time with them.

Overall a great day. Enjoy reading here and discussions with my people. You are all my people and I appreciate you so much!

Have a great night!
