Today is Mark's 58th birthday. Happy Birthday, Markie! We will celebrate at Red Robin, we're just not sure if we're going tonight or another night. He loves eating at Red Robin, plus he gets a free Gourmet Birthday Burger there. Whoo-hoo!
I bought a dragon fruit, but I haven't eaten it yet. It is really pretty and I have never had one. Maybe we'll eat it tonight. I thought I took a picture of it, but it was actually a video. I think I need to learn how to use my point and shoot camera....
My Tuesday night Transitions group is going along quite well. I am learning lots of things about lots of stuff; facing old isses and looking forward to new experiences. The women in this group are amazing (there are only women in this group, though men could attend; there just didn't happen to be any this session). Some of them have been to hell and back and are still standing. I'm not sure I would be. Tomorrow night is a mixed group. There's a different dynamic on Thursdays, but equally as amazing people. It's good to get different perspectives from so many people and both genders.
We went to a really fun wine tasting party at our friends Jon and Jules' house last Friday. Ten very good wines to taste, delicious food to go with them, and lots of people, some from southern California and some from upstate New York, along with the usual locals. Great conversations and lots of laughter.
We have been puppy sitting a seven year old black Lab, Coot, and a three year old English setter, Goose, since last Thursday. They will be going home this coming Sunday. Ty has been having a great time playing with Coot. And Goose is learning to run with Ty when they are outside. Brenna is not all that happy about having two other 'women' in the house, but she's dealing with it. It's kind of fun having four dogs in the house again, though it does tend to limit some goings and doings.
I have been pretty tired and fatigued today, and it has been one of my 'hurt all over' days. I even took a nap on the couch this afternoon. Then I got up and took myself for a walk around the neighborhood. It is gorgeous outside, crisp, sunny. Lovely day. And from door to door around my neighborhood is exactly one mile, so it's a perfect distance to just get myself moving. I'm glad I went.
I have some assignments from my groups to work on, all of which require me to sit down, read, think, and write -- all things that are difficult for me to do these days. But, I will, because I want to. So maybe I'd better get started.
And, that's about it from here.
