The future is bright. The Governor announced the end of the mask mandate (1 more month), and last Saturday, after finishing my work out, I missed a turn and drove past my old favorite coffee shop by accident. It was my old favorite because it had closed during the pandemic. To my excitement it was open!!! I spent the next 3 hours enjoying my coffee, practicing magic, and writing on my iPad. Very much one of my favorite things to do. I was also really busy at work so I could take the next week off as the kids were off school. Amazingly I got it all done by mid week (though I did have to work a bit on the weekend), and can go into my time off with a very clear head.

So many back to normals:

  • A long productive morning at the coffee shop (it’s been years)
  • Spending lots of hours practicing magic (it’s been months)
  • Being pain free at the gym
  • Coaching a stranger through a job change.

But also some new normals, which are fantastic!

  • The coaching was on the phone, combined with a virtual walk
  • Hanging out in the hot tub
  • Working out with a personal training
  • Grinding out what I need at work instead of procrastinating.
  • Using an app to lock in new habits
  • More rubber band magic.
  • DAILY Selfies!

Speaking of daily selfies (the Amelia stacked one is her in her platform bed):

And the view from the hot tub!

So good to be getting back to normal. Speaking of back to normal, I’ve gained a lot of weight, and I’m looking for some weight loss approach.

I’ve been reading presto, and much of it resonate. Several great quotes from Penn Gillette (of Penn and Teller):

  • Do you really want to take health advice from a Las Vegas Magician?
  • I need to lose 80 lobs
  • Doing extreme stuff (like juice fasting) is easy, but doing easy stuff is hard (like moderation)
  • For some reason, no one says being a fat f$ck will kill, and it’s the most pressing concern.
  • Dieting you are very cold, and sometimes you’ll get light headed.
  • You can live a long time on just potatoes

Stay tuned for more!

Have a great year and remember:_We’re almost around the bend, The pandemic will end- ZiaT
