Restless
Maybe it’s the end of summer, school starting angst…I don’t know, I just feel sooooooooo at loose ends. It’s been a really good summer; well, except for the teeth part. I suppose the only thing is to ride the feeling out; it’s gotta leave sooner or later, right???
Food was not real good today: grapenuts flakes, skim, tea, nectarine lunch: 1/3 Montreal seasoned strip steak, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, and a small ear of corn snack: almonds dinner: 1 piece pizza, didn’t eat crust and a McD’s hot fudge sundae (probably 80 million cals. but I was feeling very “what the hell”)
Did many errands, took dau. to cross country practice, pulled out my sand chair and read while she ran…..I have 5 MORE papers to fill out because she switched schools promising (once again) that it was for academic, rather than athletic reasons……coach muttered something about how he knows it’s a hassle but some of the coaches around here are real cut throat when it comes to getting really good players…..geeze, I can understand this maybe for football but, cross country????? This is her third school in as many years—-she ain’t movin again!!!!! I do not thrive on this chaos of a different school every year and I would have never have done it in high school; where she gets this from I can only guess. Is she going to change jobs like this????
There’s a half marathon this week-end and , as part of it, a running expo today and tomorrow. We went today after c.c. Stopped at the club’s booth and talked a bit. One of the booths had such neat stuff—not the usual; I got A. a running tee she wanted that says: “Running–cheaper than therapy”…..some of the rest were”Will run for chocolate” (or beer) and “I run because I can’t afford gastric bypass”, “can’t talk, gotta run”, and (on back)—”race official, do not pass”……..They had a long line buying their stuff. Race is Sunday and no, I did not volunteer for this one, we’ll be sitting out on our chairs on the corner cheering on people we know…..
G’nite, everybody…sleep tight….

I hope your daughter finds the best school! She’s obviously a very good athlete, I’m sure you don’t underestimate what that could mean…although, as a mom, I’m also thinking that you want her to have the best education - learning experience - that is possible. I wish I was still in school. There is still so much I want to learn, and I’m ready to receive the information!
Did I tell you that I am signed up for the Susan Koman race or the cure on September 6th? Yes, sedentary me. Please send me some pointers. It is a 5k race.
I will post my promised picture as soon as one of my girls helps me (IT analyst specialist….technophobe!!!) scan it in.
Take care! Ruby. PS I will probably go to Manasquan
