You poked my yoke!

I am still sore from my run this morning. I can't believe I was able to do so much on so little sleep. And I felt kind of mushy and really wanted to do some toning, but knew I really needed a cardio day so I resisted and all was well in the world.

Today was pretty good until my dad decided to go on a rampage. We were supposed to go see Pirates III, but apparently that will have to wait. It kind of sucks because we had all had such a great day before 'the incident.' I know he struggles with it so much and feels terrible guilt from it. It kills me to see. It has gotten so much better and we all are working together to find hormonious unity, but sometimes it is such a struggle. But we will find our way.

Today was my great grandmother's 88th bday. We went over to visit and help celebrate and I got to meet her younger sister whom I don't remember at all. There's a whole bunch of our family that lives on Vashon Island that we don't see very often. Lately, I have really had an inkling to get to know the older generation of our family better. I am going to help plan a family reunion with my grams and also get all the old ladies to go whale watching again. We did it a few years back and it was a lot of fun. It makes me feel good to know where I came from and learn of relatives I never got to meet. My cookie grandma (great great grandma) lost 3 sons in WWII. Their names are on the memorial down in Olympia. One was, I think Harry Rhodes, was killed in Pearl Harbor. That's some major history. I guess I also take on this responsibility since I'm the oldest of my generation and I really want them to be remembered and have their stories told.

The only bad thing I ate today was black licorice. I was fighting some major chocolate cravings, but didn't give in. I stayed strong and stuck to cherries. And they were some good cherries. Oh, I found turkey jerky (I love saying that) at Costco and bought some, but then thought it was gross. But I did accidently get the teriyaki kind so maybe that's it. It was quite disappointing. It would be a great low fat/high protein diet.

Ok, offs to bed. Hope everyone had a wonderful day!
