A day of awesome

Some days are just extra-awesome.  Yesterday was one of them for me.

My son made breakfast for the two of us.  He had offered the previous evening but I wasn’t sure that he’d remember or that the offer would still stand.  Well, he was still game so we had fried eggs and toast (as a sandwich, which I haven’t done in a long time!).  I was impressed that he had learned how to fry eggs the way we both like – hard and no runny stuff for me and perfectly “leaky” for him (ewwww).  :-)

After breakfast, we headed to church where there was a really great message on Adoption, Liberation, and Formation.  If I go into all of that right now, this will be a very long post so maybe another time!

After church, I really needed some coffee (I was completely out at home) so I stopped to get a specialty coffee – not something I do often but I needed to keep myself occupied for what was coming next…  Driving practice!!  Haha, my son had no idea that I had that in mind.

We went to a fairly empty parking lot near a restaurant where we would be joining a large group of friends for lunch.  We drove around and around, not just in circles but following different paths throughout the lot.  He did pretty good and I wasn’t quite as scared as I expected.  (It helped that we weren’t dealing with any moving traffic this time, haha.)

Then it was time to join a group of friends at a Thai & Sushi restaurant.  Mmmmm!  I do love Thai food but I hadn’t had sushi in I-don’t-know-how-long!  So sushi it was for me (and a few bites of my son’s Pad Thai – also delicious!) and good times catching up with people I hadn’t seen in a long time.

After a leisure lunch, my son and I enjoyed a few more hours together before I had to drop him off.  And then I went for a run!  My longest and farthest run so far.  Slower than I’d like but maybe that’s what happens when barbershop quartet songs somehow find their way into the music playlist….  (I bet no one else on the trails had a playlist even close to mine!).  I won’t let the speed (or lack thereof) get me down because I can always work on that and right now I’m still exploring this whole running thing!!

Oh, even better, I found an app that donates to charities that you select according to the distance you walk, run, or bike!  So the run I was going to do anyway ALSO benefited Habitat for Humanity!  Win-win!!

Then shower, dinner, and SLEEPY TIME!  All in all, a day of awesome.  :-)
