A few notes from the weekend!


Friday Highlight | Having a great long bike ride. Normally my toes cramp up so bad but I really focused on wiggling them and forcing my heel to the back to the shoe and that helped!

Other Friday Happenings | Friday off/pay day • my friend in Australia receiving the birthday present I sent • riding 45 miles • getting a mani/pedi with Lorena • meeting Steven for lunch at a new place – Taco Pros (it was good!) • dropping off a donation at Goodwill • picking up our July 4th race packets • shopping at Aldi • finishing Georgie, All Along • trying to nap and being too tired, so watching And Just Like That… • napping with Steven when he got home • pasta leftovers for dinner and painting • seeing some baby tomatoes (exciting!!!) in the garden • starting Drowning

Friday Lowlights | getting a work call right when I got to my mani and being really thrown off (it was my Friday off but I needed to check my phone because of a situation that’s been going on for a few weeks) • being too out of it to figure out what mani I wanted • being so exhausted in the afternoon


Saturday Highlight | Feeling so great on my long run that I kept speeding up by accident! I seem to run faster when I’m talking to someone.

Other Saturday Happenings | doing my 8 mile half marathon training run with a friend then having a picnic • stopping to check my PO box and chatting with the postal worker • receiving postcards and pins from an Instagram friend • resining some rocks • lifting (I’m trying to do at least 10 mins of it more days a week to get back to it) • watching And Just Like That… • doing Fake Meats work • receiving a nice card from a friend in Australia • picking some fresh cilantro for our stir fry dinner • dinner and watching Silver Linings Playbook • our oldest nephew spending the night

Saturday Lowlight | fly bites (I can never remember if they are deer or horse flies, but ouch – they hurt when they bite and they swell so big on me) • how damn hot it was, whoa (it was “sweat dripping down your back just for standing outside” hot) – the resin was a nightmare – I shouldn’t have been working on it!


Sunday Happenings | morning lifting and walk • breakfast sandwiches • laundry and cleaning out my closet (something I started Thursday – it feels so good to get rid of things) • painting a few rocks • a little gardening and yardwork •  grilling brats and asparagus • reading then taking a much needed nap •  getting some supplies at Menards to build more supports in the garden • running and getting rained on •  picking up a pizza • watching A Man Called Otto • finishing Drowning

Sunday Lowlight | still being so darn tired! I really needed that nap • how freaking long it took at Menards – we needed a wire mesh and no one knew  where it was
