A Week in the Life: Friday

Morning prayers, weighing in, email, breakfast.

Mark headed off the class at 8:30.  I headed out for my run.

After a shower I got online for a Skype appointment with a fellow coach.  He and I are working together on a Micro Lending project and I check in with him regularly to report back how my clients are doing and what our next steps are.  We had a really good and encouraging meeting and feel like we are making some real progress and are starting to get a handle in some obstacles we needed to work out. 

Spent some time on the computer catching up with emails and blogs.

Mark got back from class a bit after noon.  Lately he has been putting in  some extra quiet time  as he faces decisions coming up and trying to get some clear direction on what needs to change and what needs to continue.  He and I spent a bit of time on that together before I headed off to class.

Today is Friday, which means an afternoon Chinese class.  I walked over and arrived in good time.  I had a very good class.  I'm getting lots of chances to talk with Orchid about some rather deep subjects.  Today she and I spent a bit of time talking about marriage.  She has noticed that Mark and I and another couple we know have very good relationships with our spouses.  She finds this amazing and intriguing.  This gave me a chance to talk about what we've learned and what has helped us throughout the up and downs of normal married life. 

Walked back home.  Since, again, Mark was going to be gone tonight we took some time from our afternoon to watch the new Planet of the Apes movie.  Seth got a phone call inviting him to a youth barbecue.  So he left for that.  Mark and I threw together a simple dinner (veggie curry over potatoes) and watched the end of the movie.  Then Mark was off.

So after working on a few Zumba steps I figured I had put in enough exercise for one day (or so my sore legs are indicating) so called it good.

The rest of the evening I will be planning my shopping list since Saturday is Market day for me, blogging and emailing. 

To my faithful readers, I'd love to hear your comments and questions.  Feel free to drop a line.

Cheers!
