A few highlights from the weekend!

Friday

• Having the day off / pay day.
• Reading a book while I ate breakfast.
• My latest Shitterfly magnet arriving.
• Hiding ninja kitty rock on my run.
• The Starbucks barista complementing my face mask.
• Mac n cheese for lunch.
• Starbuck sitting on my lap.
• Starting a new rock gift.
• A walk with Kathie and Kristi. They’re both in education and their spring break started with our walk! I’m glad they get a week off – what a year it’s been!
• El Famous for dinner.

Saturday

• Waking up full of energy at 4 AM! DO ALL THE THINGS! Just kidding, not really a highlight but I got some stuff done.
• Someone posting a nice message that seeing my rocks (posted that I hid them in our Facebook group) gets their kid out the door to walk with them.
• Homemade donuts by Steven.
• Sorting through a bunch of old clothes and filling a huge box to donate to Goodwill.
• El Famous leftovers for lunch.
• Doing some landscaping planning with Steven.
• Going on a walk with Steven then getting Starbucks (two days in a row!!!).
• Watching Zack Synder’s Justice League and wondering “have I even seen this film, ever?” Ha. I did read a list that compares what is different from the Joss Whedon cut but nothing seems familiar. I definitely lost interest in superhero movies, especially the DC ones, when they became so oversaturated and difficult to distinguish from one another.

Sunday

• Hiding a special kitty rock at the beginning of my run, and really enjoying my long run.
• Meeting a local rock painter after my run for a rock exchange. She wanted to give me some of her rocks as a thank you for finding mine, and I made her a custom rock (I couldn’t come empty handed!). I had such a great time talking to her and her husband. It made me think about all the unlimited opportunities for friendship and connection. Do you ever stop and think about that? I often do, just like “what will my life look like in a year? who will my new friends be? what will I be listening to and watching?” I love that there are always new people to meet and connect with, and always new things being created for me to enjoy.
• Spending the afternoon painting rocks.
• The first meeting of “Women’s Group” – a group a friend set up for professional networking.
• Pasta Alfredo for dinner.
• A new stray cat visitor!!!!!!

Lowlights

• Feeling like I was going to crash Saturday afternoon from getting so little sleep. I’m so glad my body decided the weekend was the time to wakeup early each day. Awesome!
• Nice warm weather meaning people are blasting their music loudly. I like to describe it at “stadium level” sound. Why why why does it have to be THAT loud?!
