Good update here

This week has been such a whirlwind - but luckily for me all good. I have been busy with work and training and trying to get stuff done around here before my dear DS returns this weekend. He is already texting that he misses me and the dogs and wants to come home. Usually a week with my Xinlaws is enough for his nerves and he has already endured 2 weeks with them.

I did manage to have a bit of retail therapy and then cleaned out the closet - so feel like a new woman. I got some t-shirts on sale in bright colors - not too much money - but I do love to shop and rarely get a chance with DS in tow. So that was fun - even invited my mom. I think that was a good way to destress after the funeral last week.

Kayakman (KM) and I are having fun talking and or texting every day - just a little bit - I sent a message saying good night in German last night to be funny - and he was like what is this and he was cracking up. I usually send a funny one in spanish which delights him because that is his first language - although he grew up here and has no accent, that is the language of his parents who were immigrants - they were married 61 years before his mom passed away. But I was going to bed early and didn't want to do so without saying good night and wanted to make him laugh.

Tonight I had a club meeting - we are starting a new sports group here and I got elected as one of the officers and we are all pretty excited because we launched a new website and have a good response to membership. And KM had a dinner with a dear friend who was on the olympic team for kayaks. So we touched base afterwards by phone and planned a kayak outing tomorrow afternoon. (DS comes home on Saturday)

So that is good we are talking and making plans and rolling along. I like that we can go out for dinner or do fun athletic stuff during the day - he also wants to run with me when I start the big hours in training - I think that starts next week.

Oh - and the reason I am up in the middle of the night is because I fell asleep early and the dogs heard the frogs and wanted to go out and catch them. You can imagine what I said to that!!

Hugs to all.

I really like how things are going with you and Kayakman. I still find it amusing that you sifted through hundreds of OLD guys and this one met you IRL. Go figure!! I think it has to do with how you met (casually without the expectations in line from the gate) and so there was and still is no pressure? It sounds easy and fun and exciting and grounded all at once. I'm so happy for you!

I know PacSun - that is a crazy thing for sure. The poor thing was just up all night with his dad in the hospital - his dad fell and smashed his face. So I told him - go and rest and when you get up we will figure out the rest. We can always go for a paddle a little later. That must have been horrible for him. He said he really wants to see me and can sleep later. LOL!!
