mish mash


hi all!  you thought i'd fallen off the face of the earth since the ride, i'm sure.  i'm here...just busy, i guess.  lots of stuff happened in the past few days, so i guess blogging has taken a back seat.  Funny though, reading blogs has taken a front seat.  sometimes, i guess you need that!

i got a letter from an old friend that i guess i had a falling out with a while ago.  i did post about it, however, took the post down, after getting some sage advice from Fit and Forty Something.  it was about letting go.  it's hard to know when to do that, isnt' it?  i think it's especially hard for me, when you don't have a ton of friends just flocking around you.  regardless, it was great advice and taken.

my allergies are invading my life....more.  

i got an email from a friend with some very distubing news.  a relative of his, that they had been trying to diagnose whatever illness they had, and had misdiagnosed a few times, found out that they have an extremely rare form of cancer.  i won't go into details, however, it is devastating, even more so, as there is a child to be born into this family this year and now a terminal situation to think about as well. 

that bike ride was really inspiring to me!  i'm thinking about doing the diabetes ride again this year (62 mile route) in August.  We'll see.  i went to physical therapy and found that i tore more of my knee bits, so i'm working on just taking it easy.  funny how taking it easy is WAY more work than being active! 

I applied for a job that i've been putting off for years.  it's in social work, it's also in a field where i could make adequate amounts of money and increase my salary exponentially each year with virtually no chance of being cut from my job.   sounds great, right?  well, it's in an area that i've avoided, mostly because it 1. can be somewhat dangerous and 2.  it doesn't exactly focus on the positives in life.  we'll see what happens...i guess the worst thing is that i could be a little too pollyanna for their liking  :)

this weekend?  we are invited to a Tour de France party on Saturday a.m.!  along with two parties on Sunday!  there will be skating thrown in there as well.
