Lately, there have been a lot of changes in my life, and I would notice one every couple days, and think, my people (thats you) would probably like to hear about this. But then, internet wasn't working, and then I was busy, and part of me doesn't want to get caught up recording life instead of living it. =) But now I have a few things to tell you about; the changes in my life.
The weather has started to change. Its getting warmer... Monday and Tuesday this week were up near 75 and boy was I sweating. I loved it. But now its cooler again. I was told by a friend that the weather is going to go back and forth for a bit before it is consistent again. I've decided the weather is going to give me a complex. Tee and shorts one day, sweats and sweatshirt the next.... crazy! (My apologies for those of you who are getting a giant hug from old man winter in March)
My attitude changes in direct correspondence with the weather, and the day. When it was warm and sunny I was just a smiley-er me. Now its overcast and cloudy and I'm not sad, I'm just not as smiley. Also, the way school goes. Today was a good day. (I'm not done yet though =/)
I've started to see my friends on my bike ride again. There are these two girls who get a ride home from school from their grandma. Grandma bikes on this three wheeled cart that has a little cap. It looks like a covered wagon, but small and with pedals instead of horses. Anyway, these two girls probably 1/2 and 3/4 grade sit in the back. And every couple of days, my bike ride home coincides with theirs, and we wave as I bike past them. The first time I saw them since before christmas, they were all wide eyes and pointing at me. So I gave them a big smile, and waved back. It made my day and planted a smile on my face for the next couple hours.
Also on my bike ride are these trees that are getting a hair cut. Tree trimming crews have been out for three days cutting all the branches off the trees. It looks like they buzz cut all of them. I'm not sure the purpose of this trimming, as I'm not sure it's good for the tree... they are cutting off a lot. But hey, it's China.
Another change that I've just realized or noticed is my hair. My bangs were just at my eyebrows when I left at the beginning of September, and now in March, they are below my chin... and always in the way! They aren't quite long enough to stay in a pony. ugh! But, it won't be too long now, and they'll reach the pony and I won't worry bout them.
Lastly, the change I want to see is in myself. I started a workout and made it 5 days before life intervened (I let it get in the way) and I quit. But now, I'm back on the horse, and on day 4. Also, trying to eat healthier. It's not too hard in China because so much stuff is homemade anyway, but with fruit seasons picking up, I've been eating lots of delicious fruit. Currently, the big one is pineapple. I can get a little container of freshly cut pineapple for about 60 cents. And strawberries are still good. I just picked up the ingredients to make fruit salsa/salad, and all I need to get are some chips and I'll be ready.
Until next time.
