AND THE PRIVACY FENCE IS UP!!!
YUP, this whole year has been "training"!
A friend came to visit for 3 days.... I talked her into staying 5, lol. And we had an AWESOME time! She joined me to do the transport of people back and forth to town during the bike race, and with the others I knew convinced me to do it one more time (mountain biking it) for my 50th birthday next year. And THEN, the sweep person I knew said I'd better get training because they cut off the time for the 1/2 way point (25 miles in the forest) at 1pm (the time I've barely made it in by in the past) which means I have to cut out AT LEAST 2 hours of riding time. Can I do it? I really think I CAN! The doubts I've fought with in the past are gone because this whole years has been mental training to depend on my strengths! It will still be tough - I've got 50 pounds to lose - but all I can think about is RESULTS!
SO, despite the BS the neighbor pulled last week, while my friend and I were out and about with the race and hiking, he put the fence up and it's AWESOME! I'm sure I'm still going to deal with future BS, but this is definitely going to reduce it to tolerating level, lol. So I consider this matter essentially CLOSED. And I already have cool ideas for gardening in front of it next year, lol.
AND, I met with my attorney last Friday, financial planner today, and I'm right on track with what I thought was going on with my inheritance.... we now have a game plan, found solutions that should work for my aunt to get the money to me, and cross your fingers that I'm set with it by Christmas!
And so, life is moving forward.... and I'm back to focusing on rebuilding ME. And I'm READY. First up - 5 am wake up time to get started on my training! LOVE IT!!! LATER!
