Lesson

Sunday, January 17, 2010

My son learnt a valuable lesson today.

He lost his wallet and we were going to go out for lunch. I am now teaching him how to go and report the cards as lost. could not get any policemen to report it to so have to do it first thing was cancelling credit cards and bank ATM card and claiming the insurance. I made him backtrack and go over to all places he has visited since last night.

He is feeling bad and I couldn't care less about missing out on lunch, and we had a nice light Eggs Florentine. the rest of the time was spent showing him to put things in order and that took up most of our afternoon which meant not too much time was focused on opening the fridge and eating because of the stress.

Just drank lots of iced tea and plain water as it is so hot. He has gone to bed early as I will be waking him at 8 am to start calling other places and going to the police station.

I am praying that if it fell out of his shorts, that some honest person hands it in and so please help by offering prayers that it is found. It's not so much about the money, but replacing everything... At least food is not the main priority.


I was hoping to go to yoga at 8 30 in the morning but I will be exercising restraint.

And right after you make all the calls to replace everything - you find it! (smiling) Hope that's the happy ending here. Have a wonderful day. Report Inappropriate Comment

I feel so bad for both you and your son. This is a nightmare to go through. I hope someone finds it and turns it in. Report Inappropriate Comment

I pray that your son discovers his billfold all in tact. It may not be much to some but any amount can be a lot to others! Good luck!!! Report Inappropriate Comment

Sleepless

Friday, January 15, 2010

It is 2:38 am and I cannot sleep. Am chewing gum so that I don't eat, but will try and get some shut eye as i am planning to go for my 5 kilometre walk and then swim in the laggon and be home for breakfast.

Dream on but that is what I am aiming for. I did lots of gardening and weeing yesterday and maybe that gave me a second wind.

I was good and had chicken salad for lunch and in the evening had a small pita bread with cottage cheese and salad.

Also bought myself a skipping rope and started but very clumsy but patience I say and I will improve.

Well, my eyes are getting heavy, so I' off to try and get some sleep.

Have yoyrselves a healthy and great weekend.
Cheers
Anna

Anna: Hope you were able to fall sleep for at least a few hours after you wrote this post. It can be a very frustrating time to not be able to fall sleep. I have been having some of those nights as well. Best of wishes to you, Report Inappropriate Comment

I hate it when I can't sleep. I hope you got some. Your meals sounded good. Your exercise sounded great too. Especially the gardening. I love that!! Report Inappropriate Comment

Tai chi experience

Wednesday, January 13, 2010

Yesterday i went to the local Senior Citizens club and practised Tai Chi. What a relaxing way to exercise - but it does work the muscles. Then went for a walk in the evening for about an hour, so again had a wonderful day.
I will go again next Wednesday before school starts but then I will be at work so won't be able to go.

My friend and I decided to go to the local park in the early morning (it gets too hot as soon as the sun comes up) and try to practice Tai Chi ourselves as it is not always possible to go to these classes with my work schedule.

Our local council has provided these classes in their"get active - stay fit" program and they are all free to encourage everyone to get off their butts.

They also have free yoga twice a week in the evening with deep meditation and we will try and work all this in somehow as I am determined that 2010 is going to be a healthy and active one.

I am actually going back to work next Thursday (pupil free day) and then once I have my schedule I will plan my activities accordingly. I am going to buy a new skipping rope too - as I found it works well to get the heart rate up. All these things planned so let's hope i try to work a plan. Then the eating is another story...

I am confident that I am on the right track. Bring it on 2010!

canoeing

Monday, January 11, 2010

Just got home and showered. I am not sore at all and had so much fun canoeing.
The weather was perfect with a light breeze and i did really well. Except when my knee locked as I was trying to get out the second time, so turned canoe over and landed in the water. We were all laughing so much though. then went in to the shark-proof lagoon for a swim and the water was warm but cool at the same time.
We are all ladies from the High School canteen where I volunteer and we always have fun when we go out. Our convener i s with the Girl guides and she had the canoes for us so a wonderful fun filled day was had by all.
And yes, I kept putting on lots of sunscreen every time I got out of the boat.
Next Thursday is first day back at school for teaching staff for pupil free days before school re-opens on January 27th.
I send lots of sunshine to everyone in the cold climes. We have humidity here but South west Australia is on red alert as temperatures of 43 drgrees celsius is vey dangerous and everyone has to be ready to evacuate. We are sweltering and Europe and America are in a freeze. What an amazing world we live in.
I am now going to have a nannie nap as I feel tired but in a good healthy way.

Cheers

Sounds wonderful - we're in a deep freeze here in the Northern US! We're excited that it's going to get up to 30F this week (about 0C)! Report Inappropriate Comment

Your canoe day sounded wonderful. I love to canoe. Report Inappropriate Comment

SUPERDUPER26 1/11/2010 2:23AM

Warm and sunny, that sounds nice! I opted out of a run today because it was too cold to wear just one pair of thick socks.... -30*F (I think thats about -25*C?). In a few more months it'll warm back up and I can go canoeing again, but until then I'm envious of yoru watery good time! Report Inappropriate Comment

Aha moment

Sunday, January 10, 2010

Woke up 5 30 am and looked outside. A beautiful day and already hot and humid. All of a sudden I thought how lucky I am and decided to enjoy the day, do my best and focus on the good things around me-like having my son home from overseas and not to be such a nag.
Enjoy life and with this frame of mind, I am sure I will be fine.
