I know it can seem like I complain a lot here, but I figure there’s only a handful of people reading, and they’re here because they love and know me.  The weather is crappy, Mercury is retrograde, and there’s been a low-grade illness hovering around . . .

That said, I’ve had a great week, and I am feeling incredibly good today. For the first time in weeks, I made it to all of my exercise classes. I got pushed — hard – in Muay Thai on Thursday and felt great about going again today. How to put this . .  I feel GOOD. Oh, I’m sore and all that, but I feel GOOD. My blood got flowing and I’m doing well, and my form is excellent, and everything is doing well.

It’s been so damn long since I could say anything like that. Too damn long. Years, really.

So I’m going to go make a blueberry buttermilk cake to take to game tonight. I’ve already made my Dad’s birthday gift (just a little something — but I need to mail it before the wedding), done some laundry, and have some beef marinading for the boeuf bourguignon I’lll be making tomorrow.

It is a really good day.
