The girls are keeping me hopping.<br \/>\u00a0Yesterday it seems I did nothing but run around the city: drop Peter off at the car rental, lunch date, picked up a book at Chapters on Spain (to plan my trip), picked up Pip from Preschool (she then decided she wanted a play date at Artemis&#8217;), choir practice for Tabs (I sat in the sun at the Art Centre and started reading the book on Spain), raced home to make supper for the girls.<br \/>I was so tired, I have caught a respiratory bug from Pip, so I went to bed early. I was finally asleep by nine when Mist awoke me to say there was a cat in our back yard that looked just like the cat we lost 10 years ago (that would make the cat about 16 if he really was still alive). I was too tired to get out of bed so I just said, call it and see if it comes to you. I guess it didn&#8217;t, because there is no grey cat living here today.<br \/>Today a track meet \u00a0at the Apple Bowl for Tabitha&#8211;must get ready to go to that. Then pick up Mist later tonight from some school leader function.<br \/>Yesterday met a friend of mine, Armelle, for lunch&#8211;hadn&#8217;t seen her in a long while. We had many adventures together in Malaysia so it was good to see her again&#8211;she invited me to a party in a week&#8217;s time.<br \/>Spain is booked. We leave July 1st for Barcelona. The girls will be visiting their auntie T and their Granny while we&#8217;re away.<br \/>Tomorrow I am meeting a friend of mine for lunch whom I haven&#8217;t seen since Vipassana&#8211;Zoe.\u00a0The Vipassana meditators will meet for the first time on UBC campus Sunday evening&#8211;I must meet security there early to let them in. Have no idea how many will be coming&#8230;<br \/>Tabs has a soccer game on Saturday and then a choir music concert finally at the art centre on Sunday&#8211;so happy I can purchase tickets at the door as I am too busy to pick them up prior to the event.<br \/>Have been resting my leg but I am sick of resting. And now I have this respiratory bug so it means more time off serious workouts. Perhaps I will rest today but tomorrow I must jump back in. My mind is going crazy not working out. I need to exhaust myself physically each day to \u00a0keep me calm.<br \/>I will find time to finish editing a novel and then throw myself head first into painting again.<br \/>*Blooger is acting up and won&#8217;t let me upload a pic. So if there is no pic in this post&#8211;one will be coming when Blogger behaves itself!<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tabs running the 800m.
