I can't believe it's been two weeks since I last posted! Sorry about that. Things at school are crazy!! As it is, it's nearly 2am, and I should be sleeping!! Progress reports are due today, and my principal is going to observe my third period class. The good news is that it's my honors class, and the kids are great. Plus we're starting Romeo & Juliet, which I just love teaching!
It's my birthday. I'm 55. FIFTY-FIVE. Hard to believe, because I don't feel older than 27 or 28. I remember my grandmother telling me that she was often surprised by the old woman in the mirror as she never felt old. I understand that now.
Last Monday night, I went to team trivia with a colleague from school and her roommate. We won! I was really on my game! Unfortunately, I also had a "first"...I vomited. I haven't been sick like that since the surgery, and it was really my own fault. Hannah and I had ordered these delicious Thai chicken lettuce wraps. If I hadn't been stupid enough to eat pizza AFTER that, I would have been all right. We ordered a pizza--it was small--and I had a very small slice. It was very thin, but it was still too much, and I got sick.
I needed that, I think. I think I had grown somewhat complacent about living with this surgery. It taught me a valuable lesson. I need to slow down when I eat, and I need LIMITS. Period.
I've dated a little in the past two weeks, but I haven't felt anything "magical", so I'm still looking. I'm really not working at it now, though, either. I want someone I don't want to live without--not someone I can live with. :-)
Have a fabulous Tuesday--and happy birthday to me!! I'm older, hopefully wiser and more than 100 pounds lighter than I was LAST birthday!
