Well, well, well my little pretties!
All one of you!! Hi AleKSandra! LOL!
It's time I got back to blogging. And commenting on blogs. I've had a nice little blogging break, but my life has changed in such a big way I really need to Blab Brag Blog about it!
First off yours truly is now gainfully employed! One year ago I "retired" from Piano teaching. (Frankly it seems longer than that) and to be honest I think I was totally ready to do so as I haven't even touched my piano since.
{{{{GASP.... THUD}}}}} That was just my childhood piano teachers turning over in their graves.
Anyhoo, just over a month ago I got a "job offer" and I took it and I've been working full time since May 19.
And I love it.
Why do I love it? Well, I got a job as an administrative assistant at the Cardiac Rehab clinic that totally changed my life.
I've changed so much as a person in the last year since that fateful day when I found out my blood pressure was high.
Not only do I exercise regularly, have lost weight, got off my BP medication, (BP currently 110/64!) but if you recall one year ago I had a ultrasound done of the carotid artery in my neck and found out I had arteries that were aged 67 years old.
And I at the time was 50.
Well I just had the ultrasound done again and ta-da! I now have the arteries of a 51 year old at ..... 51!
Not only that but I actually talked about what I've done in the last year... ON TV
A couple of weeks ago our clinic was being featured due to the grand opening of a second location and I was a patient testimonial.
Five minutes after the show ended we got the first call from a viewer who told me, "I want to get off my blood pressure meds like the lady on the show."
Errrrr that would be me! ;)
Okay enough of the me me me me me me stuff....
Let's talk about WHERE I'm working.
Like in downtown.....
Yes, Blondie is once again filling her lungs with carbon dioxide and joins the throngs to ride like a sardine on the train to arrive downtown every morning.
The office is about 8 blocks from the train, so runners are a must if you're going to power walk effectively.
Blondie has the good people of the Good Earth Cafe trained so that when she walks in they are reaching for her decaf Earl Grey Tea.
Ahhh yes the novelty of being back downtown hasn't worn off yet after one month and I don't think it ever will.
It's grimy, it's gritty, it's under construction on almost every corner,
It's fast moving, it's crowded, it's exhilarating
It's my lifes blood
It's home....
