And the rain came down

It's pouring buckets in Austin TX this morning and of course it started right as I was taking the dogs to the park. Alas, they have to get out and run no matter what or they'll go stir-crazy. So off we went out into the mud and rain--and me in a cute outfit ready to go to work no less. Luckily it was only coming down moderately hard while we were out there and as soon as we came in it started POURING again. I'm drying myself and getting ready for work.

For various reasons I didn't make jack shit for $$ this week and going to the salon yesterday and today I'm basically paying to come to work. But I'm not going to whine further about it. Just going to trust that Goddess will show me the money this month like she always has done.

My food was just OK yesterday: 2 handfuls of pnut M&Ms and 3 Lone Stars towards the end of the day. Fridays get me every time..... But I did run twice this week and rode Shaggy 3 times so that's an improvement. Tonight I'm running concessions at City Theatre for a production of The Elephant Man (??) Off to work now. Taking John Densmore's Riders on the Storm w/me which I just began yesterday. Really dig it so far........

Off to the park...

Made it through yesterday and spent some $$ on good groceries so there's decent food in the house. Today I'm going to steam a bunch of veggies and M's making black beans and rice tonight. I don't know how I can contain my excitement! ;)

This morning I did chair massage @ Apple for the iWalk event and then visited M on his break. He works in the Pro Apps dept and the rest of the company thinks of those dudes as the rock stars of Apple so it was nice to get the tour around the place. I've worked there several times before but this was the first time since M started working there.

Now I'm taking some of my doggies to the park to run and then probably take a little nap before going up to the Barn to play with Shaggy. Food so far today: pineapple juice, coffee, protein shake w/pbutter and oatmeal, free Ice Tea at the gig.........more later.

Back to reality

Spent the past 4 days in a fog with M. Damn us...

Unfortunately our tastes toward the dark side run in exactly the same direction and there was much smoke and margaritas this weekend. Yet, we get back up on the horse.....As I did today, going up to the Barn to ride Shaggy, who looks sleek and handsome with his summer hair cut and short glossy coat.

Food was not terrible today: shake, coffee, one giant cookie from Central Market Cafe (oops!) then home where I had a can of tuna w/mayo and olives and later an organic burrito. M will be home soon and we are planning to go to the gym--or run in our hood. But in any case, I've gotten some exercise today and taken all the dogs out and Dag and Red to the park across the street from our house.

Got another email from a literary agent today. They all love The Iron Horse--the novel I'm shopping around. But can't decide whether it's fiction or memoir or whatall..... Oh well, the clock is ticking and if by December of this year the IH has no rep, then it's getting self-published by me on Lulu.com. That's all she wrote. Today anyway.
