woooHOOOO!!!!

FINALLY!!!!!........i hit the road the with a humongous blanket of glittering stars overhead...and cool crisp air to breathe.....such a change from just a few days ago....!...the pat pat pat of my feet on the pavement and the music and my thoughts to fuel me....made for a really good run....such adjectives....well..there are none sometimes ya know?.....

I started the run earlier than usual this morning...not my walk to the stop sign today...it felt good to feel the cool air in my lungs and have those muscles working that have been tired of late....as I hit the dam over the lake the round pools of light reflected in the water and on the street shed a glow over everything moving and still.....the light of lampposts staggered here and there made me wish for a bigger flashlight...but it was too late for that and I made me keep on running.....better to keep moving , definitely made for better time today...I had forgotten how dark it is when I have been familiar with the early morning sunrises and a pink tint over the world at the end of my runs.....this morning there is no light and the stars are twinkling overhead as I speak..........I pass by houses that are still asleep and the walkers that I usually meet are not out or haven't started yet...I got up earlier this morning.....for what I do not know ...except it does feel good to know that this part of the day is done and I can start out with a little more energy than I have had lately.....my knees are achy and I will take the ibuprofen that has become a standby on days like this.....

My weekend was filled with ballgames and xcountry meets and mountains of clothes to wash......I already have another load and I thought I was finished...HA..... a long time ago a friend and I had thought we would open a laundry business...folding and washing clothes....hey...it would be so easy to do that with all the time we spent in front of washers.....what's another load or 2....or 3 or 4........but I cannot see me away from the world surrounded by people's dirty underwear and socks...LOLOLOLOL>....the picture is amusing...and I am glad I choose to watch babies come into the world and cheer mom's along that have given it their all.........
..After the boys finished with their run, me, in my innocent mom kind of way...assumed that they would all ride home with me....but nooooo so I headed on my way to madison for some great sushi with a few other parents and their kids.....it filled me up and made for a better outlook on the weekend ........I managed to work my way thro target and bought some of the best tasting candy corn...you know what i mean those little orange and yellow pieces of sugar that i LUV this time of the year....they have some new stuff out that taste like southern pralines to me....all very nutritious for sure!...NOT..!!!!.....all of this will send a diabetic into a major coma but luckily my insulin production is up to par.....especially, since i have eaten more than a little while folding all of those clothes that I talked about...thinking I may take some to work today and let them overload their systems with the stuff...... shhh ...don't tell.... :-0

the sounds of the melodies are still playing in my head and I hope the day will be manageable...it seems that it will be busy today in the world of babies and bottles and doctors and meds and surgeries and deliveries.....................I think i will continue to listen to those songs for a while longer until the day pushes the songs away......

I have talked to all of those who have run with me on all of those previous runs......wishing I could talk to them for real...but this will have to do....and as I listened to the pat pat pat of my feet.....i face the day once again with some renewed energy and positive twist to this new week!

many happy days...and I hope this is not
tooo rambling for all of you out there..
