I realize it isn’t winter-but this weird sunny and warm for a few days, then cold and rainy for the next few days is getting old. Especially with the addition of allergies! Hopefully my allergy meds and better sleep will get me feeling better in a hurry.
I haven’t worked out since Monday morning–and my body is aching to get out! I plan on a nice slow, long run after work. Then, I will work on the dress and show you the progress. I was actually a lot further along than I thought. Happy surprises.
Also, weighing heavily on the mind is one of our Team in Training teammates dropped out. He is a survivor and his cancer came back. His wife is still participating. Things like that shake you back into realizing some of the “huge” things in your life–i.e. UFOs, busy schedules, etc.–aren’t huge at all. One great thing from this is there will be a huge push in St. Louis in early May offering free bone marrow donor tests. It is merely a mouth swab. If you match, blood will be drawn. But if you match you can save a life!
In other news, some dear friends just returned from a well-deserved vacation in Provence. They flew into Avignon–which I visited in the summer of 2002! They brought back lovely photos–the carasoul is still in the middle of the town! They also brought back a tea towel. The first thing I did was cover my face in it and breathe. It smells of lavender and brought back such happy memories. Ah…
African Kelli is blogging about National Public Health Week. Her insights are great.
Lastly, I was just notified my library book–they had to pull it from another branch–is available. I will be reading about silk. Hopefully with a bit more understanding I’ll properly respect the fabric and have better luck with my project. Have I mentioned how much I love libraries? They are awesome, awesome places.
Peace,
