The 'lost' week

Well, I did not manage to keep up with myself for the past week.  It was a normal week.  The usual -- errands, moving in (still), working in my office, cleaning (yes, I really did do some real cleaning), laundry -- the usual.  Still no real cooking, but I'm not sure that will ever happen, even though we got our new Cuisinart 10-piece anodized cookware today, courtesy of Wells Fargo Mortgage.  It is very cool.

We went to a really good retirement party last Saturday night for the guy that Mark replaced.  There was a roasted pig (though I ate chicken) and lots and lots and lots of really good side dishes and desserts.  Beer and wine was imbibed by all.  Also, there was live music provided by a woman from the office and her band, including her 11 year old daughter, who also is a really good Caller for square dancing.  Fun was had by all.

I'm trying to overcome the 'stigma' of joining a 'Senior Center.'  There are yoga classes at the Olympia and Lacey senior centers that are taught by two yoga teachers from Wild Sage Yoga.  While at Wild Sage the class costs $10 per class, it's only $5 per class at the senior center.  I'm trying to deal with the 'age' thing in contrast to the 'money' thing.  I'm going to mull it over for a few days and figure out what I want to do.  I look at the pictures on the senior center web site and the folks really do look like they're in their 70s or 80s, so it's hard to make that choice.  Of course, it might be a totally different reality at the center...  Who knows.  This aging thing is very weird -- the mind of a 12 year old, the body of a woman who is ageless...........(ha).

And that's it for tonight.
