I'm STILL a self confessing, self professing know-it-all, or so I think!

down is not where i belong

this aching heart won’t turn to stone
there’s a fire inside these bones
it was meant to be
i see your world’s still full of light
how could i ever been so blind
i still haven’t lost my fight
it haunts me in my sleep

i know only time would tell
if all the cards will treat me well
cause this hand that i’ve been dealt
keeps me wondering
so now here i turn the page
i’ve learned to silence all my rage
tell me who can really say
what will tomorrow bring

my plate is full

but I’m going hungry

Well, I did eat my mortadella sammie at 10 am, then WAY too much unexpected and gratis Pizza Nova pizza at 1 o’clock… so Eddie, you better Vedder believe, I’m going hungry tonight!

As far as my plate being full; tonight, I fuelled and wash Baby Zen, did laundry too! Alarm is set for 6:15 (on day off, no less) in the morning, then tomorrow; dentist, insurance adjuster (sorry, I bailed on Barque, logistically and from my schedule timeframe, Starbucks made more sense, and will suffice), groceries (Highland Farms), financial advisor (fingers crossed you’ll be in the office on a shite Saturday), optometrist… culminating w/a icantbelieveisqueezedsuchashitloadintothese20hours peaceful, lovely, and joyful (and deserving, lol) brunch… on Tiff K‘s dime!

Christmas Day Fun Run!

… my first time running since November 1st, and considering poor conditioning… killed it!! I see so many daily runners in this mild winter weather, luckily being able to continue running/training throughout the year (me, w/my job makes it next to impossible), and am SO jealous… yet, they’re still slow-poking it? What’s up w/that shit?!

Chuffed as fuck w/my x-mas run… 15 minutes for 3K is only 2 minutes-ish from my PB… and w/regular sessions 13:30 would be easily attainable day after day! I’m also happy as hell w/negative splits (lungs began burning 400m in, lol)!

My Portuguese Christmas!

… my Portuguese family! Just got back home… getting my hair looking all pretty… in for the evening… kicking off my 4 day holiday, when Antonio surprises me w/this… wishing me a Merry Christmas!! He says the cake is called King Cake (Bolo Rei, in Portuguese), and it’s still warm when he hands it to me! Yum-F-O!! I see from the sticker, this one comes courtesy Seara Bakery… what a lovely presentation! Funny; minutes from home when stopped at a traffic light, snuck a peek and was in disbelief the amount of cars, and the lack of room w/more cars trying to get in (and out) of Seara… welcome to a Portuguese Christmas Eve, lol! He tells me the port wine is to be enjoyed after dinner! I’m enjoying everything right now just staring at it… can’t stop thinking about all your kindness, and love! Thanks big guy… and, thanks Lina too! Much love!!
