Yes it's been a month.
I have never been away this long.
I have a lot on my mind and a lot on my soul. The major trouble for me is writing. I can write - we know that - but I have trouble even putting inot words the things that are in my head, written on me heart and engraved on my soul.
So, as Julie Andrews says, Lets start at the very beginning.
My name is the Contessa and I have a weight issue.
That was easy.
The good news is - I already know and I am doing something else about it.
The bad news is I can't blink like Jeannie and make it go away.
I am adding more cardio to my life in addition to the pilates and I am controlling my portions better. Added more water, veggies and slowed my eating pace down.
Knowing that this is a boring topic for me.... we shall move on.
I am worried about Jon and he is worried about me. IN addition to that he is worried about me worrying about him. How's THAT for a twist?
Please, for those that know my facial expressions - insert eye roll here.
So here's the good stuff that happened.
The band started back successfully - 3 out 4 gigs. One rain out. They were good and the rain out was timely. We had a death in the family and needed that day off as it was.
Don't misunderstand: Fifi's death was sad, too soon and a major surprise. But it did bring all of Jon and his old buddies back together for something that wasn't related to his brother.
So we needed the rainout to take care of that.
Here's the other good part - they are all accepting me. His family and his oldest friends. These were challenging to me. Big time. but I feel really good about it. The family loves me now. I love them right back. HIs friends ( this crew) just met me so I expect nothing - but the followup was just lovely.
Things are moving at a really slow pace but moving. I don't care if this is not the normal run of things - it works for us. that's what matters.
I am trying to decide how to move forward with this blog. so bear with me on the transition. It's not over yet.
