Birthday boy here, with little signs of aging except that I wish I could forget how old I’m getting. I shouldn’t feel so lonely about it, though. A couple of my friends had their birthday yesterday, so they feel the pain before I do. Also me and my sister-in-law are the same age so I know someone must be able to empathize.
Running made me feel better. I’ve been running lately, and today I ran 3 miles for an average of 10 minute mile. I used to run 3-5 miles on the X-Country team in High School, and it seems my body is adapting to the training I used to do back then. I am trying to get my heart healthy and strong, and to get back to my leaner and stronger self. Beginning to feel and enjoy the energy and endurance benefits, be it ever so slightly.
It still hasn’t really sunk in that we are moving to Seattle. I will miss all the flowers Cami and I planted here. I’m considering digging up a few and taking them with me. If I don’t, I will have to get a few roses and lavender plants to start anew up north. Here is a shot of our hollyhocks in (almost) full bloom.
It’s gorgeous outside today, it’s supposed to get up to 83, which is about perfect! There isn’t a cloud in the sky. Color me happy. Cami is going to take Molly and I shopping and for a lunch in Clackamas. I theoretically have the day off from work, but let’s not go there. Since taking VMware live back in June with their spanking new Oracle Identity & Access management solution they have had fewer problems (thankfully) and everyone is happy including me.
Time for me to go. Have a great day!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SWEET!
