5 and 3/4th year old... in da house!

Dinah, my painter, came over this morning with her daughter, Hannah, who was really cute. Had they been here more than 30 minutes, maybe not as cute, but for the time they were here... She is a very sharp little kid who was immediately enamored with Travis and Betty.

Dinah talked me out of the blue/purple and into a coral which is going to be great. She's coming back on Tuesday about 9:30. $280 which I think is really reasonable. That includes high end paint and her parking and my not having to worry about any of it - I know she does wonderful work.

The last time she had seen the house, really, was when it was pretty empty and the makeover had just started. She had never seen the fish room - with the bed and pillows under her mural. It was fun to see her reaction. It's a special room made even more special by her artwork.

Work is busy busy today but I'm getting a lot done. I have Marci's class at the gym at 2.

---

Left over Farro with Artichokes and Tuna was as good cold for lunch today as it was hot for dinner last night. It never sounds good and it does not even look that appetizing but it is sure delicious.

---

I just realized that I totally spaced out on the Mariner game today. It was an east coast afternoon game. I just checked the score and, alas, I missed another looser. They absolutely have a game streak going now. Holy crap on a stick.

Time to get back to work.

Gym Report - class

Today's class gets maybe a 5 (10 being best). The music was wonderful. The crunches were good. But most of the rest was on the bosu and I just hate that damn thing. I know I am going to fall and I'm sure I will and so it's just counting off the minutes until I do. It's mental. I know it but still. My mental is my reality.

I need to come up with tri-cept and bi-cept and core and thigh stuff to do instead. Marci won't mind and I'll at least get good exercise in.

I may never get over these balance fears but I also might. In the meantime I need to work around.

Every morning and every night, I attempt to stand on one leg while brushing my teeth. Once in a while I can manage it for a little bit but not often. Still I try.

I'm old and I'm not one of those cute in shape old people and I'm perfectly fine with that.
