Help me make it through the day (forget about the night, I got that covered)
Yesterday after nine hours of work, I turned the computer off early and went to Pilates for a challenging where have you been for two week core exercise. Then I came and quickly ate one meatball – trying to get my girlish figure back after turning pong pong in China from too many noodles and not enough moving – and dressed quickly to go meet F, Y and B over at Swirl – it was so good to see Fatma, who returned from Turkey looking marvelous. She brought me a tea pot for my cay and tea from her parents’ plantation in Rize. I had a Mao bag for her since she was a communist youth in Istanbul, and a jade ring for luck as well as a fan from China.
Y is on her way to NY to do a comedy course – she shared some jokes she has been doing as an exercise – with her own Y sense of humor.
I came home early and went to bed before 10:30 and slept till 6AM. So there it is – nine hours of work, rigorous exercise, and a little socializing – makes Rachel alert and happy.
