yea i'm a little behind on updating this blog this week. in fact i've had the intention to write it several times already but other things came up & had to be done first. but right now, i'm just trying to stay awake while i read about pigs. they have sharp teeth, ya know...so don't put your finger in their mouths but feel free to rub their cute soft noses! so adorable! anyhoo, enough of that.
Life is not slowing down anytime soon with school & work & more school & training for the bike ride in less than 2 weeks. this has all been confirmed by a dream i had just last night. I was somewhere with family & friends from school & all of a sudden a tornado started heading our way. i remember looking up the street & saw it coming straight towards us. next thing i knew, it was circling around us. everyone else got to safety but all i could do was hang on tight to whatever was attached to the ground in front of me. i could feel the tornado picking me up & trying to pull me away but i kept on holding on. Finally the tornado passed & i returned to the ground. i had a feeling of success & of course just thankful to be alive! then i remember wanting to keep whatever it was i was holding onto as a souvenir. turns out it was a leather footstool that wasn't actually attached to the ground at all...dang dreams are so weird! i swear it was real. i've heard that tornadoes in dreams symbolize stress or chaos in your life...clearly this is true!
i'm not gonna lie but i am a little disappointed in some of my own family for not being willing to support me in the MS-150 bike ride while a few family members, friends & coworkers i hardly know have stepped up & already donated. at least they believe in me!
i'm also not gonna lie that i've been slacking on my attempt to become less awkwardly shaped the past couple weeks. i'm not down this week at all & no inches lost. however, i did ride 20miles on Sunday & 26 miles on Monday. i think i could have gone further both days but i just didn't have the time to do it...places to be & things to do! i took today off but if the rain holds off tomorrow i'm gonna try to head out again after cleaning the barn at school.
aw yes, the large animals are pretty fun so far. the piglets are cute as can be but the cows are pretty awesome & powerful too. one goat in particular has won my heart & many others because she's so sweet & likes to follow me around even when i'm picking up their pebble poop! sheep are crazy but i would be too if i had to wear all that dirty wool everyday! i'm sure its entertaining enough for all the animals just watching me try to heave hay up into their bins..only to have half of it fall on my head every time! in reality, the opportunities i get at school are extraordinary & i'm glad i finally got the chance to do this. i just hope i can keep a level head & keep things organized in my brain & other parts of my life over the next several months!
the weight loss will come with time so i won't fret too much about it. like with everything else, i just take it all one day at a time & hope i make the right choices.

What a crazy, but clearly symbolic dream, Amy! I'm glad you ended triumphant, I usually wake up in the middle of dreams like that freaked out and never get to finish them!
